Close to many amenities and far enough from loud cities. Walls are a bit thinner that you can hear the neighbours but property is pretty quiet.

Quieter than expected. Has long term stays so I wondered if it would be loud. Was quiet at a decent hour and stayed quiet. Rooms have minimal sounds proofing between.

Pleasantly surprised, as we brought our dog and were being given the dreaded “pet room”. It was cozy and updated nicely. The front staff was amazing and let us check 3 hours early. Friendly, clean, and across the street from one of the best steaks I’ve ever had!

When we asked for extra towels, we were given one small extra towel as there were two in the room already. There was one bath sheet, one smaller towel and two hand towels. The room was clean and check in/check out was fine.

Second door lock was broken. Otherwise, a good, basic room. Very helpful late night check-in.

8/10 Very good

We stayed two nights. The area had an enormous amount of snow and there was only one guy working. So the parking lot was ridiculous but I’m assuming that’s because it was beyond their control. Seemed like every parking lot in town looked the same. The room was spotless and quite spacious. Quiet. Heat unit was great. Bathroom worked great. Nicely decorated. Would have given full marks if there was another blanket and a coffee maker in the room. The mattress was the best I’ve ever slept on away from home. Better than any large chain hotel or small hotel. We slept amazing.

6/10 Good

Spotless inside room, good linens, quiet and convenient. Bathroom sink tap only ran hot water. No coffee maker. TV picture kept breaking up on some channels.

4/10 Fair

Emergency purpose room only

Was an emergency extra night stay due to weather. Could not accommodate parking car+trailer. Had to leave 300M away and walk along snowy road to reach room. (Sidewalks were impassable - not Motel fault) No hangers in closet area. Forced air heat system - could not control temp, but at least relatively quiet. Room access via narrow laneway. No coffee/tea maker.

2/10 Poor

Do not stay here!

Ok. I wasnt expecting much and I have stayed at number of low end motels but this one takes the cake. It was so bad. Disgusting beyond believe. We stayed here 1 night during an ice storm as we didnt have power for 2 days. We ended up leaving at 4am, couldnt take the constant noise and uncomfortable bed. No sleep. Paper thin walls. Did i mention dirty? Lol When we got there, we had to go home and get our own towels because the ones there had yellow and brown stains. Also no soap at all. The only good thing was the guy at the front desk was nice. Holes in walls, brown stain fluids running down the walls, cobwebs in every corner. I lysol wiped all surfaces, the wipes were brown.
