Overall, i got a pretty good value from the 1 night stay. For $85, you cant really ask for more. Once you realize that its a motel and not a jotel, my mistake for not realizing that prior to booking, you cant really ask for more. My room was clean, tv and microwave worked just fine, and great service from... More

This hotel was a really good value for our money. The manager on duty was very nice to us and helpful with any issues that we had. We got upgraded to a king size bed and there was a nice LCD TV in the room. It was clean and relatively quiet. It's not a high-class hotel, but for the money... More

I believe the negative reviews were made by some young people who probably... More

We stayed as part of a hockey team, the rooms were inexpensive and clean, the staff very friendly and accomadating. It is an older establishment that could use some updating, but was quite satisfactory for our purpose. More

WARNING!!! DO NOT STAY HERE!!! This was the absolute most disgusting excuse for a hotel that I have ever stayed in! We were given a smoking room, even though we requested a non-smoking room, because there were none available. Everything was yellow and stunk of smoke. We were finally able to get a "non-smoking room" (even it smelled) but was... More

The staff was quite friendly and pleasant but the rooms desparately need to be rennovated. Peeling paint and floor tiles, threadbare and ripped sheets, grey and stained towels. It was just very run down and shabby. More

Maybe they are fixing this up one room at a time...we certainly got one that was fixed up. Clean (and I'd had noticed if it weren't), no chips in the sink or tiles, all appliances working (a flat screen TV on the wall too). The carpet had some..."history", but that's like all carpet everywhere. We got a room away from... More
