Recommend staying in your car rather than in this place. It smelled terrible as soon as I stepped outside my car, the check in desk was gross and dirty, also they don’t let you check out before 9 and the worse part is that they charge you on top of the booking amount for damages and refund you less then the damage among charged. A really sketchy motel overall.

TV was only in the living area TV remote was not programmed for the TV Coffee and cups were available, but not a coffee machine. Front desk was only open from 9am to 9pm. Very questionable clientele in a very shady area. If you’re on a stringent budget it’s fine, but for a few dollars more you can do much better.

Other than they charged me an extra 30.00 tax when we already paid tax on the expedia site. They never really gave an explantaion why. Expedia did reimburse and will watch the card for the deposuit they charged as the office wasnt open when we left. I felt that it was clean the rooms. A little noisy at night

I booked on Expedia. It said the total included all taxes. When I arrived the guy that finally checked me in (after I walked right past him to the desk and he ignored me for 5 minutes) told me I had to pay a 200 dollar deposit and the taxes. I told him I already paid the taxes and showed him my receipt.He said it didn't matter, that I still had to pay the taxes and to take it up with Expedia. Won't be staying there again.

The staff were rude and unprofessional. They were not accommodating, and I was charged a $310 deposit but only received $300 back with no clear explanation for the missing $10. Overall, this was the worst customer service I’ve experienced in Canada. I would not recommend this place and definitely will not be coming back.

The rooms are not well cleaned its dusty and there's bottle caps and plastic on the floor. One of the bed sheets has stain on the middle. Some towels are stained too.They have new bathroom and bathtubs which I like the most. NO soap , shampoo or conditioner supplied in our room but we didn't bother. I'm happy with the clean bathroom and bathtub. The location is easy to access ,and it's just around the corner a FRESCO grocery store and there's another market in the front They have full kitchen and huge refrigerator. Very close to u pick location like 10 minutes drive. Good parking space. They have swimming pool too. But we didn't bother using it. They just need good house keeping in my opinion.

I was wondering why we are charged 2x for the tax. Expedia charge me and when i checked in the hotel charged me again for the tax. I asked the front desk and they said that the website should not charged me but i showed them my online purchase that I was charged and still the motel charged me again. I dont know which one should be charging us for the tax? Or they really charged you twice so next time better check the site and the place you are staying in before booking.

One of the rooms (#116), that we had booked was in terrible condition. Looked like it had never been upgraded. in the bathroom, there was exposed pipes and a hole in the wall. Second room we booked (#109) had been upgraded but the bathroom tub/shower had no grab bars and very high sides so treacherous for seniors. There was no shampoo or soap provided. We were told to bring an ice bucket to get ice at front desk. There were no ice buckets in the room. The pool was dirty. The front desk clerk was surly, not friendly at all. The furniture outside the room was extremely worn & cigarette scarred. I would not recommend the motel.
