Room was fine. It met our needs and budget for pet friendly accommodation. The stove was extremely clean, likely because there were no pots or pans or bakeware.

I liked that the beds were in separate rooms and the beds were comfortable. Also, it was a full apartment if that’s what you are needing. We were just there for sleeping one night. The rooms were clean as well. Unfortunately there was quite a bit of noise in the hallway during the night and it echoed into our room. The property was all a bit rundown but we just needed a place to sleep without spending a fortune. You get what you pay for.

Wouldn’t be my first pick

The room was clean but very out of date. The carpet in the halls was very dirty and balconies and amenities in bad shape.

Check in was quick. Room was clean but there is no fan in the washroom and the cleaning staff left behind the previous soap and shampoo. I didn’t need to use any cause I had my own but it was yucky to look at. It’s an apartment/motel building so there were a lot of people around. Not bothering anyone or noisy so it’s not a complaint. Just to be aware for people out of town.
