The room was very clean, the staff was extremely helpful. The common areas of the hotel were a little older and I got the feeling on the list for an update - as the rooms were updated with new flooring and bedding/ paint. Better than expected for cost of the rooms.

We almost didn't find the property, as it has recently had a name change and the sineage hasn't been updated in Expedia. The property owners are doing a very good job in making improvements to the property, and the breakfast room was large and well-appointed. The property's location to lots of shopping and eating opportunities was a great "plus". We enjoyed our stay, and would probaby come back, if we're passing through again.

The hotel is very dated but the rooms have been updated. The only downfall of the room was the lack of coffee machine and the bathtub had a terrible stain where something had been ripped off the bottom. Both the evening clerk at the front desk and the morning clerk were very helpful.

We booked this hotel bc it was cheap and right off Hwy 2 so we didn't expect great. Our room had nice upgrades like a nice sink and well-lit mirror outside the toilet/shower room and new TV and the bed was comfortable. It's next to a good and affordable restaurant. But the a/c was loud and some items were missing from our room like hand towels, soap, garbage can and hangers but we did get what we needed from front desk. The continental breakfast was a disappointment and the hallway smelled of spicy food.

The room was not as advertised and I had to manipulate the door to enter it. The bathroom tub was not great and didn’t make me want to shower in it. Breakfast selection was poor and food was not worth the free inclusion. Overall not the best stay.
