Room was spacious and clean. Contained all the facilities to cook inside if you get there late. Laundry facilities are shared with the owner. The only drawback was the shower - flow was weak, and the inside heater was not sufficient for two showers.You should wait between the showers. However, we had a pleasant stay. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2020 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller Jan 23, 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Clean and comfortable.

Bed - comfort Kitchen - Function good with Rice cooker, Oven, microwave, Stovetop of 4, waterbolier, refrigerator (would be nicer / added value if it is a normal height refrigerator with freezer since there is more than enough place to place one). Did not provide knife sharpener, scissors kitchen paper and aluminium paper. Dinning table - Good and stable Sofa - 2 person sofa is good and comfort Bathroom - The shower is very soft, doesn't give any satisfaction in taking a shower, the toilet flushing is also not easy, often has to flush a few times in order to get it clean. But the bathroom is clean and big. Would be nice if the shower is in a shower box instead of open style with curtain. Heater - 2 heaters all work very good. Daily changing of towels, very good and clean. ##### Hooi Yen Stayed 5 nights in Oct 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller Oct 18, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Nice clean room, comfortable bed and well equipped ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Oct 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### liz May 29, 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, room comfort ##### liz Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2020 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Chris Feb 12, 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### Chris Stayed 1 night in Feb 2020 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller Dec 26, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Dec 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### Ronald Oct 8, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### Ronald Stayed 1 night in Sep 2019 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [MarriottHotelsResorts Hotels in Boston](https://www.expedia.ca/Boston-Hotels-Marriott-Hotels-Resorts.0-0-d178239--bMarriottHotelsResorts.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotels in Shediac](https://www.expedia.ca/Shediac-Hotels.d57800.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Motels Mission](https://www.expedia.ca/Mission-Motels.d57380-aaMotels.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) > > [Hotel Le Magellan](https://www.expedia.ca/Paris-Hotels-Hotel-Le-Magellan.h32943086.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Oromocto](https://www.expedia.ca/Oromocto-Hotels.d181818.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Hôtel L'Empress](https://www.expedia.ca/Rimouski-Hotels-Hotel-LEmpress.h8296773.Hotel-Information) > > [Nomads Rest](https://www.expedia.ca/Lake-Tekapo-Hotels-Nomads-Rest.h27954748.Hotel-Information) > > [Dream Hollywood, by Hyatt](https://www.expedia.ca/Los-Angeles-Hotels-Dream-Hollywood.h14607327.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Moose Jaw](https://www.expedia.ca/Moose-Jaw-Hotels.d10588.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Best Western Plus Airport Inn & Suites](https://www.expedia.ca/Saskatoon-Hotels-Best-Western-Plus-Airport-Inn-Suites.h10056460.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels with an Indoor Pool in Owen Sound](https://www.expedia.ca/Owen-Sound-Hotels-Hotels-With-Indoor-Pool.0-0-d6057875-tHotelswithIndoorPool.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) ### Flights > [Flights from Calgary (YYC) to Houston (IAH)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyc/iah/calgary-to-houston) > > [Flights from Mississauga (YYZ) to Fort Myers (RSW)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/rsw/toronto-to-fort-myers) > > [Philippine Airlines](https://www.expedia.ca/Philippine-Airlines-Flights.cPR.Travel-Guide-Airlines) > > [Flights from Mississauga (YYZ) to Tremblay-en-France (CDG)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/cdg/toronto-to-paris) > > [Flights from Mississauga (YYZ) to Goffs (YHZ)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/yhz/toronto-to-halifax) > > [Flights from Edmonton International Airport (YEG) to Chicago (ORD)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yeg/ord/edmonton-to-chicago) > > [Flights from Richmond (YVR) to Williams Lake (YWL)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yvr/ywl/vancouver-to-williams-lake) > > [Flights from Edmonton International Airport (YEG) to Penticton (YYF)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yeg/yyf/edmonton-to-penticton) ### Cars ### Activities ### Packages > [Square One Shopping Centre](https://www.expedia.ca/Square-One-Shopping-Centre-Downtown-Mississauga.d553248621563220623.Vacation-Attraction) > > [Mexico](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/theme-vacations/all-inclusive-vacations/117/Mexico) > > [Las Vegas Vacations](https://www.expedia.ca/Las-Vegas.d178276.Destination-Travel-Guides)
