Booked a room at this hotel. Was sent down the street to their "other" rooms. Very old, beds very uncomfortable. Limited plugins. However was very clean. Gentlemen who showed us the room was very friendly and helpful
I won’t stay again. It’s a cheap price but I prefer not to see bugs in my room. I considered leaving but was too tired. Besides being dated (which I don’t mind) the paint was peeling , the bath was stained or dirty ( wasn’t going to find out which) the proposals be torn down or at least completely renovated.
You get what you pay for, would not stay there again, I have pictures of cracked shower inclosure , ceiling tiles water stained and ready to fall walls are badly scuffed, slept on the covers
I got the room for $65 + tax, per night. We stayed for 3 nights. Not a huge room, but it was clean and comfortable. You do get what you pay for, but in this case I think it was well worth it. I would say no kids is a good idea, being there is not much room and nothing in the immediate area for them. DQ right across the street and a Tim Hortons 2 blocks away. I Would Stay here Again in the future.

Owner is amazingly sweet and personable!
It needs a little work to update it, but all in all, the beds were comfortable and it was clean. The owner is super friendly and accommodating. We had a nice little chat when I was checking out. He’s a great man and really cares about the people who stay here. Nice for a quick stay when you’re rolling through town.

Great place to stay but it desperately needs renovations.
The rooms are disgusting carpets filthy bathrooms filthy floors cracked walls look like an old deserted house towels dirty with stains fridgeeaked all over carpet holes in bathroom walls under sink ear wigs came in cieli g falling apart and water stains shower stall had a big hole in bottom of soap dish absolutely worst ever seen and the adds are false they tell you at counter the price is a.ericamo.ey and charge way more than advertised never again will we stay there
I really wanted to give this place a good review, because the property manager was friendly and tried to accommodate us. There is very little that is redeemable about this spot, especially at this price. Smell, cleanliness and safety were all concerns.
