Would not recommend

The room was dirty and some things were even broken. All the extra locks on the door were broken and the door had a huge gap. Mattress was very springy and there was a weird smell.

Do not stay here!

Ok. I wasnt expecting much and I have stayed at number of low end motels but this one takes the cake. It was so bad. Disgusting beyond believe. We stayed here 1 night during an ice storm as we didnt have power for 2 days. We ended up leaving at 4am, couldnt take the constant noise and uncomfortable bed. No sleep. Paper thin walls. Did i mention dirty? Lol When we got there, we had to go home and get our own towels because the ones there had yellow and brown stains. Also no soap at all. The only good thing was the guy at the front desk was nice. Holes in walls, brown stain fluids running down the walls, cobwebs in every corner. I lysol wiped all surfaces, the wipes were brown.

Checked into this place during the ice storm, we needed a place to shower and get to work. The "non-smoking" room had a stench of old tobacco and incense mixed together, being asthmatic, it was horrible!! The only heat source to the room was a space heater. In a state of disrepair wires hanging out the wall from an old telephone connection, a little closet without a bar to hang things up, and no hangers to do so. Miss matches chairs that are stained and worn. I checked out a day early, but wwasnt given a refund, because "it's past 1100" was the answer I received. I Holes in the wall, no place to hang clothes,

We stayed two nights. The area had an enormous amount of snow and there was only one guy working. So the parking lot was ridiculous but I’m assuming that’s because it was beyond their control. Seemed like every parking lot in town looked the same. The room was spotless and quite spacious. Quiet. Heat unit was great. Bathroom worked great. Nicely decorated. Would have given full marks if there was another blanket and a coffee maker in the room. The mattress was the best I’ve ever slept on away from home. Better than any large chain hotel or small hotel. We slept amazing.

Emergency purpose room only

Was an emergency extra night stay due to weather. Could not accommodate parking car+trailer. Had to leave 300M away and walk along snowy road to reach room. (Sidewalks were impassable - not Motel fault) No hangers in closet area. Forced air heat system - could not control temp, but at least relatively quiet. Room access via narrow laneway. No coffee/tea maker.

The shower didn’t work good. The nozzle was loose and you have almost no water coming from the shower head. The water was leaking from the bath nozzle!!!
