Ian, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

The managers of this property were friendly, warm and helpful. I’d come back, just for their service. For the price, I felt the room was fair. Perfectly utilitarian for an overnight stay where I needed to be close to the hospitals. Amazing dining options in walking distance, particularly Shop Ramen.

It was an old, somewhat dilapidated motel. We didn't feel like the website represented the property accurately. The receptionist was lovely!

10/10 Exceptional

Good value, comfortable stay
Jacqui, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

We stayed at this property as we had fond memories of past visits. The staff were fantastic, but the site and rooms are tired and need some attention - re painting, new carpet and extra amenities like an additional soap for the shower and a blanket for cold nights and additional pillows for those that need more than one would have made things better. once simple things are done, it will be just a good as it ever was.
