Overall decent place. A place to crash, no bugs. Soft beds but clean. Floors could use a sweeping, fridge and heater a little touchy. Neighbours can be loud. For the price it is a good place to crash.

-Booked 1 adult 2 kids, I filled in 3 person in the check-in card. I was charged more(3 adult 2kids) than the reservation amount. However, the front desk lady was nice and refound me. Looks like they didn't pay attention about guests's booking. -my room was #7, which has a strong smoke smell. -the electric board heater was not working. -no ceilling light, no cloth hangers. - nice and clean washing room, good staff.

Saw two rooms, stayed in one, neither bathroom fan worked, one tv didn't work, windows all fogged up in room from lack of ventilation. Supposed to be a microwave, none. No coffee maker. Walls paper thin. Mattress was worn out. Cigarette burns all over the bed cover.. Holes and cracks in drywall. Someones long hairs on the sheets. No screen on the window. No effort made to maintain the property. Poor water pressure in shower. Black mold where the caulking should be between the tub and surround. One of the worst motels I have ever seen. Not because it's old, but because of lack of effort on the part of those who run it. This shows a complete lack of hospitality on the part of the owners/managers. How many cigarette burns are "too many" before you replace a $10 bed cover? Very cheap? Yes. But not a single ounce of pride in the service they provide.

Pros: Staff was easy to reach and helpful, price is great compared to nearby options, it's located near most other hotels in the area Cons: slight road noise on occasion (single-bed rooms are facing the highway), not great beds comfort-wise but doable for short stays, single room is pretty tight depending on how much gear you have, restaurant/bar was not open during my stay For the price would stay again, but would probably pay a little more for the 2-bed room for a bit more space

The room smelled overwhelmingly of stale cigarettes, the key really struggled to fit in the lock, the tv screen was smashed and didn’t work and the walls were so thin, I felt like I was participating in my neighbors conversation. You get what you pay for but honestly, this wasn’t even worth the cost

We’ve stayed here before so we went in with realistic expectations. For the price, I don’t think it’s fair to expect much more than a clean, warm room. Apparently that was still too much to expect. When we got there, the room was freezing. We turned the heater all the way up and by the time we left the next day it was a reasonable temperature. The floor of our room was absolutely soaking wet when we got there. Since the bathroom is gross and we were only staying 1 night, we didn’t plan to shower while we were there so we used the towels to dry the floor as much as possible. Not sure if that was a good decision or not - the floors were mostly dry but it also revealed how filthy they were. There was also a bag over the smoke detector and the room smelled vile so I assume people had been smoking in there. We usually stay here if it’s just 1 night since it’s cheap but we’ll be spending more next time to stay somewhere that’s at least clean and warm.

The room was cold. The heating wasn’t on but even if it had been on, the gap between the door and the frame was big enough for light to shine through, so it would have been cold anyway. The staff were friendly though when I came to them about a beeping smoke detector in the room (I.e., it needed a new battery) they didn’t know what to do or what batteries it needed. In the end they found the right battery and gave it to me to switch out. Which really…I was a guest, I shouldn’t have to be switching out batteries in smoke detectors.
