One of the best beds on our trip! It had a microwave & fridge but was missing a coffee maker which was a big negative. Restaurant on property was closed which was a huge disappointment & let-down.. Luckily there was an upscale grocer next door where we bought takeout for dinner & Tim Hortens 2km away for coffee. I would definitely recommend this place but check FIRST to see if the restaurant is open! ##### Colleen Stayed 1 night in Oct 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Tanya Aug 20, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities There were a lot of motorcycles nearby and we didn't hear them pull up while we were sleeping.

Room up to date and clean, bed comfy, WiFi fine. Manager pleasant and helpful. Sadly, the handy restaurant on site was closed that evening, which was disappointing. Busy road and run-down building next door a bit of a negative, but all in all, a good stay. ##### Sally Stayed 1 night in Aug 2025
