Pool wasn’t heated! Liner/seal looks like it’s coming off the pool. We were told this was a newer suite. Suite had no kitchen towels or paper towels. No gluten free options offered for breakfast. Analog clock in suite was broke…4:52!

We had a great stay. Very quiet and we slept well. The staff was very helpful and friendly. The pool has a black ring around the edge. The lamp in between the beds would not turn on. We tried different outlets. It is also broken and very unstable on the table.

Our go to hotel

We had no issues and we’ve stayed here twice. The price is always great. The workers are nice and down to earth. Love that we can park outside our room and access room through sliding door. We love this hotel because it’s so close to our favourite restaurant crazy sumo.

Pass this one by if you can.

This property is old and it shows it Paint peeling outside, cheap fake wood vinyl flooring in the rooms. The handicapped shower was broken so it could only be used as a hand held shower. I didn't use the pool because it was so heavily chlorinated that my eyes burned just walking into the pool area. That picture of the pool must be at least 20 years old. Website said they had a hot tub, nope. On top of that, there was nighttime road construction right outside our room every night. Did they mention it at check in? No.

Terrible experience

The toilet did not flush. I had to do it manually inside the tank. No water pressure to speak of in the shower. The one outlet that was accesdible only worked on one side. When i tried to make coffee the water just poured out from under the coffee maker.
