Beds were comfortable and clean. Location was convenient for us and quiet. Gentleman at reception was friendly and helpful. Accommodations are dated and the bathroom could use a complete overhaul.
Verified review

6/10 Good

It's an old motel, but they're renovating well with new bathroom faucets and the walls painted nicely. The next to do will be the bathtub and caulking. It's only 10 rooms split on 2 floors. Staff was very helpful when I could figure out how to open the door. Wifi Internet was the best ever here compared to more known brands during my 4-5 week trip.

The listed amenities are present and functional although there is usually only 1 outlet section available in the room and the outlets in the washroom. The room and washroom were clean although they did not look well maintained (the walls had scratches on them and the tub was stained). The beds were comfortable enough although I suggest bringing your own blanket with you because the sheets and duvet cover are very thin. The TV has cable and it works and depending on the room you can connect your Google Cast device to it too.

Comfy beds and a relatively quiet location. Very clean but needs a new tub/shower as the finish is very worn. I will stay here again on my next trip across Canada.
