We had a decent stay. The room could use some updating. The bed was nice and the a/c worked well.

It Works
Easy to navigate to and park at. Space was large but was pretty unkept. There were spots/stains on the floor, the was black mold on the curtains above the AC unit, stains on the curtains and bedding. Would have likely gone somewhere else if not for having already paid for the night.

The room I stayed smell awful. The water took quite a while to get warm/ hot. The bathroom wall had black stuff on (it might be permanent) but it made it look dirty.

Complete mess.
no address on hotel, hard to find. No person at desk to check in. Terrible pillows and bedding. Filthy bathroom needs complete update. No shower spout at all. Worst experience ever. No soap, nothing. Worst hotel ever.

We had a room with two queen bed reserved--there were 4 travellers. When we arrived they said they overbooked and had to change to a room with 1 bed and they would provide a roll away. This was unacceptable. The rollaway was awful and my husband had to sleep on the floor. They overbooked and we had no alternative.

Dirty rooms
the room was not ready for checking in at 8 PM. We paid for double Queens bed but got a King bed which was much cheaper than what we paid. The room was not clean AT ALL.

The room had a bad smell. Smelled like wet carpet or something damp. The pillows on the bed were very small and uncomfortable to sleep on. The shower head had a very small and weak stream of water pouring through it. The shower needs to have a stronger water stream.

Very disappointing
Pictures don’t show it well, but this is a motel. Parking is in front of your unit but you still have to pay $25. The furniture was broken, no one was at the front desk to check in for about 20 min. Limited towels, no room cleaning, random toiletries. Definitely not worth the price.

It was affordable. It's located close to several amenities including a grocery store and is located in a quiet neighbourhood. Appliances are very dated and don't have kitchenware despite having a mini kitchen so make sure you bring your own kitchen stuff when you book this room. Staff is very pleasant and accommodating.
This room has a particular strong odor that smelled like a smoker smkoed a chimney a day before us. The unlimited tea and coffee is a plus but some coffee pots were already cold when I tried to pour some into my cup. There was no dish and body soap only a hand soap. There was also a fly lurking inside the room but overall it was a comfortable stay for the price.

I wouldn’t ever stay here again. Not for the price. Facility is filthy, there were no pillows. Our room was 77 degrees because we were “over the boilers?” Why build a room that way? The solution was to open the window on the first floor. I wouldn’t recommend this place at all unless the price reflected how gross it was. We checked out early and stayed for maybe $40 more at the nicer Marriott down the street. It was disgusting

Overall a good hotel. Small cosmetic issues throughout. Like a hole in the Sheetrock and clothes hook in shower was broken. Everything was clean. Hot water took a long time to get hot, but when it finally did it was a perfect temperature and didn’t run out. They are using “clean” remotes That I guess make it easier for them to clean, but don’t work that well on the tvs. Arrangement of room was awkward, the couch didn’t face the tv. So we had to sit at weird angles to enjoy tv in the evening. A lot of construction going on so I believe they are working on updating their rooms. Staff was very friendly. I believe that $25 a day to park in the parking lot of a hotel i’m already paying to stay at is a little ridiculous. Over all I was pleased with the stay, and would stay here again.

Upon arrival after 12 am unofrtunately due to a late flight, waited about 30 minutes while the desk clerk helped another customer. Desk clerk was very nice, but at that hour we wanted nothing more than getting to our room and hitting the pillow. got to our room, opened door and was very unpleasantly surprised. Room does not look like the picture on site. Carpet filthy. Although the bathroom was very clean and the bedding looked very clean. Thre were 3 very flimsly pillows on the bed. Needed more pillows. Room had a musty smell too which also made me very nervous. Probably was there a total of 6 hrs, but still not worth the money. Need to replace carpet. And updat room. Desk clerk was very nice gentleman. Not sure if there was any amemities in the main area or not, it looked like the furniture was all stacked up and boxes around so not sure. spend a bit more and go elsewhere.

This was a trip for a follow up at the hospital with our Daughter who went through Open Hart Surgery, this was not a trip for pleasure nor for business.
When we arrived (around 8-9pm) there was no one at the desk, we waited (in this unsafe area) for over 20 minutes for someone to come to the counter.
The room was disgusting, when i went to the front desk to complain that there are wet stains in the middle of the bed, we were told "sorry we cant help you". we ended up sleeping in the car.

Habitación bien, recibimiento regular
La habitación muy cómoda, limpia y espaciosa. Las almohadas ridículamente pequeñas y duras, muy incómodas para dormir.
El recibimiento en el check-in muy frío, ni una sonrisa, ni un bienvenidos, ni ofrecen ayuda a menos que lo pidas. Todos lo demás muy bien.
