A quick overnight. Close to the main street and coffee/restaurants. Renovated the last 5 years. The rooms are sparse but comfortable.

Overall a good stay
The overall experience was good. Parking was little scarce, especially with a trailer. The floors were swept in our room, but I don’t think mopped in a while or not good. My daughter spilled some water like a couple drops I wiped it up and it was black. So we just wore our shoes in there. The beds are firm, but seemed to help my 2week long sciatica I have been having after sleeping in the past hotel beds. They are pet friendly which is great. No questions asked. However, the hall on the pet side smells of pee I think the carpet needs to be removed and made like the room is. Also, there isn’t a real space for dogs to go pee. There is rocks and some weed patches around the parking lot in the back. Quite a bit of traffic around there.The guest service was nice. No complaints there. The hotel was nice, what I saw. The people were nice. One of the male housekeepers thought my daughter was struggling with the room door as we loaded the cart and he put a wedge in it for her. Didn’t experience much there’s since we got in late. Can’t rate anything around there either. Maybe Tim Horton and walmart which was worth the stop. 😆 those are the only place around there we went. Overall I would stay again.
