Overall my girlfriend and I’s experience was satisfactory for the price we paid which was very affordable. We were disappointed to return to our room and find that a bottle of alcohol we had not yet finished was removed from our room by the cleaning staff. We assume this was done by mistake however I had a few empty cans that were left behind by the cleaning staff so make of that what you will. This isn’t exactly a fault of the motel itself however it may be relevant to mention that another guest had pounded on my door late in the evening for reasons I don’t know of. There were also several people hanging out in the parking lot near my car and directly in front of my room making a lot of noise when this happened. The surrounding area is a nice location near Tiffany Falls in one direction as well as a short drive to the city center in the other. There’s also restaurants, and convenience stores within walking distance as well. The room was warm and equipped with a tv and a comfortable bed as well as a fridge and microwave. Overall if you’re on a budget, it’s a good place to stay but don’t make the mistake that we did by leaving things out in the open that might be construed as garbage by the cleaning staff.

The room was at 15 degree 59F, when I walk in. Took a long time to warm up. Realizing the seal around the door is damsge and the -9 to -12 C outside brought a cold draft in in the room. Very old motel that got renovated to make it look good. Wall aren't insulated and the batroom pipe were semi frozen, msking the toilet to hardly flush. No coffee courtesy or hot water kindle, only a microwave and fridge. No lamp at the sitting desk. Otherwise I manage to sleep. Need to be patient and listenvto the staff. For myself a french canadian, had a hard time understanding the words spoken.
