The safety was phenomenal. I could even leave the door unlocked if I wanted to and not worry about it. The bed was comfortable, and the staff really looked after the place.

It was good. The lady on the night shift handled everything and helped me when I needed the heat fixed. The stay was pleasant. An economic, clean, safe motel. It was quiet and close to McMaster, which was the whole point.

Staff was nice at check in, upgraded room from queen size to king size with no extra charge. The room was tidy, looked appealing, and smelled fresh, had adjustable heating in both room and bathroom. Just wish there was a bit more closet space to hang clothes other than hanger on front door. Overall great experience

The property is in a safe area and provides cleaning on a daily basis. Besides the no visiting rule that I feel gets ignored, I have no complaints.

Room was dated, but clean. Staff were very helpful and accommodating. Easy parking right in front of our unit. TV was a bit difficult to operate. Could use more pillows of different densities.
