    A good choice for a budget room, for a good night sleep. Not fancy but it worked.

    The hotel is obviously an older building, and it looks like it is in the process of being upgraded. The room was in need of some upgrades (carpet, paint and finishing) but the important things, beds, shower, toilet and air conditioner, were clean and functional.

    Convenient location on the highway, with good parking and easy access to restaurants nearby. The room was easy to access and the staff were friendly and helpful. Free wifi worked and was fast.

    I expected more, even though it is a budget friendly motel.

    The air conditioner didn't work very well, and took severak minutes before it was running cold. The curtain didn't completely cover the window - no privacy as people were walking past the window. The bath towels were too small. The shower didn't work - wouldn't switch from the water bath spout to shower head - needs replacing.

    The location was where we needed it to be. The price was fair for the facilities. I didn't expect there to be a fridge in the room so that was a nice surprise. The TV was good.

    The feeling of being scammed, lack of towels, quality of towels, dirty floor, no fresh air, uncertainty of safety in parking lot, hair in bedsheets.

    Firm mattress, shower water pressure, quiet environment, television, wifi.

    I have stayed here numerous times but the last two times it just didn't seem as clean and had to ask for bathmat face cloth the bed looked like it had been slept in have always enjoyed staying there but this is the last time as I hadd mentioned to the owner that staff wasn't cleaning properly and nothing was really done to correct the problem

    there were empty vodka bin and a beer can on the floor, and so many small tiny things on the floor. My baby is still crawling, and his shirt got so dark from the dust on the floor. Also, some food left in the fridge. The room itself was nice but the cleaning quality is not too good. Also, outside of the room was too much cigarette smell and I didn't feel good to come with my small children. We had to keep the door closed and I didn't want my kids to stay outside of the door. But probably I will come back here again and would request the third floor as it must be less cigarette smell, as the price is so cheap lol

    the owner was honest and nice. the room was good size and the price is the cheapest!

    He was angry that we had dogs though. Charged us a bit more for the hotel room then what it says on the website.

    The shower was nice. The manager let us stay even though no dogs allowed.

    Carpets very dirty, not vacuumed, Sink and shower facets not functioning properly (but useable). Bed mattress not on proper frame, mattress tilts when you sit on the edge. Horrible smell in rooms. No Coffee in room.

    Check in was quick and easy, location was great (close to Tim Hortons, A&W, Liquor Store). Bathroom was spacious.

    The sheets on the bed were ripped, there were flies throughout the room, there was hair all over the bathroom, there was food left in the fridge from a previous client, and the toilet had a skid mark from a previous client. Overall the room needed an upgrade and a good cleaning.

    The owners were friendly.

    Paid for a room, that we had booked through booking.com and the fellow behind the desk asked us how much we got the room for which I find very odd. Went to use bathroom sink and tap handle immediately came off In my hand while trying to turn on the tap. Obviously had come off for previous occupants as well and nobody repaired or checked it. Woke up with an extremely sore back due to the fact the bed was nothing more than a mattress on top of a elevated wooden box as there was no boxspring supporting the mattress. Paperthin walls as we could constantly hear occupants on the next floor above us talking on their cell phones during the day and throughout the evening even though our door and window were closed. Never saw any cleaning staff on either of our two days we stayed, as we had to reuse the same towels that were in the room upon our arrival for two days and the material was some kind of inexpensive fabric that was not absorbent for water after having a shower. Door did not close tightly and there was an air gap at the bottom letting in light and noise from outside. The building in general needs a makeover and the owners need to pay way more attention to detail and bring their standards up substantially. Room 109.
