I’ve stayed here many times. I know it’s not a five star hotel - each time before the rooms were very clean and staff was friendly and helpful. The parking is cramped but there’s not much they can do about that. This time the new front desk staff had my reservation wrong (I booked a kitchenette room) and when I asked to be moved from the room he offered (I knew from past experience that the full time guest beside that room is a heavy smoker and the smoke drifts into the room beside), he rolled his eyes and gave me the keys in a curt manner. Not cool.

Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
The room (and motel) felt neglected. Patches on the walls, not yet painted, mismatched furniture in the room. The night stand lamp cord couldn’t reach the closest socket on the far side of the bed. The comforter on one of the beds had a splotch of something on it, in need of laundering. The walls are paper thin, I could hear my neighbour coughing! And whoever shovelled, stop at the door next to me so I still had to trudge thru the snow from my vehicle to the motel room door
Splotch of “something” on one of the comforters

very friendly staff. Only negative was snow removal. We had a very large dump of snow and it was difficult walking from car to room. I have mobility issues and had a lot of problem with snow.

I had the executive suite for 3 nights. Large room, high ceilings, couch, small dining table, and kitchenette. Unfortunately, the bed was uncomfortable, seems old, and uncomfortable pillows (too thick and hard). Train, highway, and plumbing noice throughout the night. No cold water, runs warm. Lots of dead flies on floor and window sill.

The place is too old. No upgrades to make it look nice. Staff does not look happy to be there. It comes with only one pillow per bed. Not worth the money they ask.

The room was great for the price. The only thing that bothered me was the kitchenette did not have a cutting board or a knife for chopping. I had booked a kitchenette specifically because I needed to prepare a salad for a wedding I was attending and using a steak knife to chop veggies and trying not to scratch any surfaces was tough. Other than that it was well worth the money spent.

Listen, it’s not the ritz but for a budget inn on the side of the highway it’s really cute and has everything you need. My friend and I stayed here during The Womp music festival and would stay here again. The staff were super nice as well.
