This is an older hotel, very basic and affordable. Checkin was good no issues. Room was good for the price and no real issues other than the soap/conditioner dispenser was almost empty. The only thing that I took issue with was how faded and dirty the hallway carpets are, this could leave a bad impression on the overall hotel. Still with everything I would choose to stay here again for the same price point.

Unfortunately, the room advertised on line was totally different than the one we stayed in. A much lower standard. It’s actually embarrassing that you are renting these rooms to international travellers, who expect the Cdn experience. 😔

The room was unclean with stained carpets and, most alarmingly, blood stains on the sheets. The bathroom was tiny and the view was a dismal parking lot. Cannot recommend due to the basic lack of hygiene.
