The host was very friendly , nice and easy to deal with. The property location is easy to find and haze the parking right in front of the door. Checking in was easy-peasy as Sam can handle it oven if he is not on the premises.

The owner charged us an additional $20.00 for damages he claimed was BLOOD on the pillows. We left the room in excellent condition and there was NO blood on the pillows. We will dispute the $20.00 charge with Mastercard.

Kyle, 2-night trip

4/10 Poor

This might be the oldest, most crumbling, falling apart motel I’ve ever stayed at. The bed and bathroom were surprisingly clean and the man at the front desk was very friendly, but wow, the place is in rough shape. Paint peeling from the walls, stained furniture, sagging mattress, dust and dirt. Fine location for getting on and off the transcanada hwy, and certainly wouldn’t choose to stay here for anything other than a quick nights sleep.
Megan, 1-night trip

2/10 Terrible

It was not in good condition, there was a picture over the bed with broken glass. The room had a very odd smell like wood rot or dead animal. The room itself looked like it was falling apart and the kitchen cabinets had seen better days. The AC was absolutely disgusting, that filter doesn't look like it's ever been cleaned .
Teirney, 1-night trip

2/10 Terrible

Outdated, burnt out light bulb, loose electrical outlet. Friendly staff when they were available. Despite this, it is a place to lay your head for the night.
Brad, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

The property was great, location was great, easy to get to.
Gisele, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

Should update the bathroom
Tina, 1-night trip

2/10 Terrible

Front desk was good and had no issues with check-in. The room was cleaned properly and had cigarette smell. We reported about the smell and got different room and that does not had cigarette smell but the bathroom was not good. Also the towels, bed spread and pillow case was not good. Found insects inside the room. Overall it was very upsetting experience.

MICHAEL, 1-night trip

The motel was supposedly for people with pets. I understand that part but the bathwoom window looked like there was mold all around the frame it was black. I certainty will not go there again or recommend to anyone.im surprised an inspector would approve such a room.
