    No breakfast included, room was fairly clean, comfy bed. Staff were accommodating. Good value for a short stay.

    While the surrounding area may initially seem a bit rough, once you step inside and close your door, any concerns vanish.

    The staff at this motel are incredibly friendly, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere. While the decor might be a bit dated, the comfort it provides is undeniable, making it a great value for the price. I'm already looking forward to returning on future journeys, especially considering its convenient proximity to all necessities. Highly recommended!

    The mattress makes a lot of noise at any slight movement. So everytine my daughter or i moved one would wake up the other. The mattresses were horrible to sleep on. The shower head was horrible and had previously been broken and not fixed so when i got in the shower the first night water straight up assaulted my eye. There was also no fan in the washroom and when i did open the bathroom window it looked like someone had been sleeping out there so i wasnt comfortable having it open.

    The staff here was super friendly and cared about our stay.

    Dated. Room entry was thru a side hallway that was lower than the main sidewalk. Would it flood in rainstorm? Door did not appear to be very secure. Could have been "jimmied" easily and quietly.

    Kitchenette in room.

    The room was quite cramped with only a small table. Also there was no kettle meaning we couldn’t make tea or coffee.

    Easy walking distance to all that Port Alberti has to offer.

    The building was close to a homeless shelter that had open drug use but I never had any issues at the motel itself.

    Good value for the money. Had a stove if you wanted to cook and was 7 blocks to Tim Hortons and a few blocks from a good pizza place.

    Extra $15 for use of stove. Random excess furniture that took over the room: XL early 2000s TV & speaker system, movable cupboard unit in the middle of the room. 2x lamps for decorative purposes nowhere near electric sockets. Daisychained plugs from refrigerator to the socket (very dangerous). Plug of multiple kitchen appliances (incl daisychained one) plugged into a mutli-adaptor (very dangerous). Some cupboards nailed shut. Main light very dim. Unable to use table and chairs unless pulled to the middle of the room - one chair only able to remain at the table due to rooms space - the other had no where logical to be placed except in tbe middle of the floor in front of the random rolling cuproards and XL TV. While friendly, the owner didn't know what there was to do around town/in the surrounding area. All other things very trivial.

    Parking. Use of a kitchen (minus the stove), extra room. Friendly staff.

    I'm a non-smoker and you smell smoke all around the room most of the time. If they had a designated smoking area away from the rooms at far end of property it would help. I don't want to inhale their carcinogens

    Clean and fairly quiet . Staff were accomodatiing

    Furniture and Photos of the rooms on the website.

    The lady who runs it is lovely. The rooms were extremely old and in poor condition. Broken windows, stained furniture, only one pillow on beds. The hotel has seen it’s day and even at $45 a night I’d be writing the same feedback 😔

    There was a fan in the room but it was very noisy. The blinds wouldn't open.

    We chose it as it was the cheapest we could find and you do get what you pay for. The receptionist was lovely and found me a kettle. The room was dated but clean.
