We liked the marble in the bathroom, the bed was very comfortable, and the staff were helpful and friendly. We could have used a bit more soap and it was slightly strange not to have a sink in the bathroom, but it was a solid comfortable stop. We enjoyed the restaurant we went to that was an easy walk away. Overall a great traveler's stop.

Holes in the walls behind the dresser. Drywall rotting in the bathroom, lousy bed and very noisy. Don’t understand why it has such a high rating. Will never stay there again.

Response from Gem on 19 May 2024
Hi Mark,Thank you for taking the time to write a detailed review and bring these issues to our attention. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience you experienced during your stay. After reviewing your reservation and inspecting the room you stayed in single unit on May 5th, we have addressed the following:Holes in the Wall: We discovered holes behind the dresser and TV, which our housekeeping team unfortunately missed as it was hard to see behind. We are committed to fixing this within the next three days.Bathroom Drywall: While the drywall is not rotting, the clear coat we used may have caused some confusion. Based on your feedback, we will switch to a white coat to prevent any future misunderstandings.Bed Condition: We strive to maintain a high standard of cleanliness and comfort. Although we did not find any issues with the recently furnished bed, we will continue to ensure our bedding meets guest expectations.We are dedicated to providing an excellent experience for all our guests, and we appreciate your feedback as it helps us improve. We hope you will consider visiting us again to experience the improvements we have made based on your feedback.Best regards,

Arguably one of the nicest Hotels in Merritt. Wonderful room, property still under a little construction, which is going to look beautiful when done. Front desk lady, wish i could remember her name, was wonderful.

Hi Scott,Thank you so much for the awesome review, especially about the wonderful front desk lady (which was me, Trish!). You were a great guest and we do hope you will stop by again. You are right about the construction, as I told you it is going to be a Japanese garden and should be completed in June and will be amazing to see! Please come see us again.Happy trails!!

The only problem we encountered was that we were in a room seemingly tucked between a couple of rooms or suites being used by/rented to some long term residents/area workers. This resulted in some relatively unpleasant cooking smells infiltrating our room and remaining with us along with the noise associated with the activity.

Hi Larry,Thank you for your honest review, we do listen to our guests and try to help out in any way we can. We have some long term guests and I apologize for the cooking smells. We hope you will come back again and I will make sure you have a more positive experience. If you come back after June you will be able to enjoy our Japanese garden as it will be completed then. You were a wonderful guest and we hope to see you again soon!Take care,

Property was handy to the highway. Pictures on the site are deceiving. It is just a motel not what you would classify as an INN. O.k. nothing special. Bare floors, bed up against the door. Latch locking the door broken. Little dirty but not bad.

The property was very well maintained, and the suite had everything we needed. It looked like it was recently updated. Beds were comfy. The walls are a bit thin so it was easy to hear people outside and next door, and there were some folks stumbling in around 3:30am which was a bit disruptive. But everything else was lovely.

The bed was extremely hard. They are limited staff for house keeping so we didn’t get our room cleaned. The bathroom did not have a sink - I had to brush my teeth, do my make up and hair in the kitchen. Somewhat comical but we made it work. Not my first choice.
