Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
The room was near the road so it was loud all night. There was no one at the property and we needed to find a door video to find someone to tell us how to check in and check out. The room was clean but small and we ran out of bath tissue. Parking was not easy with limited parking near the room, which was a handicap space. I do not recommend this location.

The room was clean but the smell was horrendous and my husband who has an autoimmune condition was made very unwell with whatever it was. We had to sleep with the windows open all night and got very little sleep.

Mitchell

Disliked: Amenities
I had a comfortable 1 night stay. Place feels old and makes a bit of noise. It had everything a couple needs to be comfortable. The only thing that could be an issue is noise, the pipes and floors make a lot of noise so you can hear your neighbours if they're awake. New pillows would be nice, mine were a little lumpy, but don't let that discourage you from staying, we still had a great time.
