Catherine, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

The shower was nasty. Moldy and nasty looking. The attached bar blasts music until 1am. Beds were clean and the mattress was ok. The place is cheap but not cheap enough to allow the shower to look like it did.

The staff was friendly; the room was okay - very old; the breakfast was very easy.

Amanda, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

We booked this place as it was the only place available for the night we needed to stay. We were a bit nervous as there was a lot of negative reviews, despite it being outdated it was spotless & had everything we needed. Staff, locals and the whole atmosphere was A . The lounge was great, we will most likely be back next time we’re in the area.

We were there for only one night but the staff was super friendly and very hospitable! The hotel is old but rooms were well kept and clean. The adult kids had a great time playing pool with the locals!!

This is a dilapidated overpriced motel. Neighbourhood dogs barked all night. However, there are no other options under 200 a night

Donald, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Couple next to us fought both nights we stayed we could hear them clear as day while they had their argument inside and outside their unit. Room was fairly clean and exactly what we needed for our short stay. While the room claimed to be non smoking, it is clear it was smoked in with the nicotine dripping from the bathroom ceiling.
Emily, 2-night trip

Room was just OK, the breakfast left a lot to be desired

It appears that this property is undergoing renovations, which are needed. It's good that the owners are taking care of things.
