It's better This hotel does not deserve it's name. Look at the pictures. The window is held closed by a screw attached to some piece of wood, bed leg and bathroom sink legs are crooked. The toilet flush is in a inconvenient spot to say the least. The carpet is full of stains. There was a cricket under the bread which by the way free breakfast is cereals and toasts only. Do not waste your time, sleep in your car. ##### Cathy Stayed 1 night in Oct 2019 ### 4/10 Poor #### Jim, Chelmsford, Ontario Oct 13, 2019 Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities The room did not look anything like the picture.

We paid thru Expedia and the front desk took our card number and wanted to charge us, because they couldn’t collect from you guys. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Aug 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller Aug 7, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The motel property was not appealing Inside everything was good. Because of the surrounding exterior, we missed the sign. Although the building stood out, we did not realize it was the motel and we passed it going 15 minutes out of our way.
