This motel was the worst one in our entire trip across Canada. We arrived and were hit with a musty chemical door reminiscent of an old basement. The carpet was stained and awful, the bathroom was not something I would clean myself in, the air conditioner was not something I would want to breath the air from. The smoke detector was encased with brown discolouration of some sort and had a dead wasp completely stuck to it, the chain lock latch was broken off the door frame as if the door was broken through. There was a door that you could not lock on the opposite side of the room that led to an unknown area. The door to outside didn’t have a proper lock at all, no deadbolt, no chain, just the lock on a doorknob much like that of a home bathroom. My husband and I couldn’t imagine sleeping in the room and felt immediately dirty when there. We took our baby and pet and left 30 minutes after arriving to our next town destination because there was no chance we were going to stay. I would not recommend anyone stay here.

I booked because reviews said although rundown, at least it was clean and the owners are trying. That is simply not true. Its deplorable. Disgusting and a complete slum. Dirty beyond belief. Literal spider webs across the door we had to break to get in. Toe nail clippings on the filthy,stained and cigarette burnt carpet. Black mold in the bathroom. Just absolutly awful. Not to mention the pitpull next doot looking in our window and the mini dirt bikes that the workers seem to use to get around. It truly is the worst, most derelict motel we ha e ever stayed in. Never ever again.

I was looking for a quick and convenient spot to spend the night while traveling. It had a clean bed, super easy parking and the staff was really nice. The bed while firmer than I would like, was possibly the most comfy I had on my trip. My understanding from other reviews is that this place is under new management and they are working on it. My room had some spiders living on the door. When the door first opened a few of them went into the room and settled in around the door. While I appreciate that spiders are a natural form of pest control, I didn't quite appreciate having them as roommates for the evening. The larger web on the outside door I had to duck under a bit to get in/out of the room. There was a huge spider on it, I've got a bit of a fear of spiders so there was no way I was going to be touching it. I was okay-ish with the spiders so as long as they kept to their side of the room. Some of them did, some I couldn't account for their location in the morning. There were some stains on the floor and the room smelled of WD30 which I assume was from some repairs that had been done. There was a second locked door leading to what I am assuming is a hall for staff. Having no key or deadbolt to block that door, I did end up moving a chair to block the door for added security. There wasn't a deadbolt on the main door which had been removed. Putting back deadbolts would add to the feeling of safety, especially for solo guests.

We didn’t feel safe to stay here. One window was papered up. There were no vehicles around later in the day (6:30 pm or so) when we arrived & we supposedly got the last room. We were unable to get our money back. We did get a small points credit with Expedia.

The room had 1 ceiling light and 1 in the bathroom. There were no other lights. There were no chairs or a bedside table or desk. Spanish has no dine in restaurants only pizza takeout and a snack bar. There were none within a reasonable drive of the hotel. The hotels restaurant is closed. Most stores and businesses were closed. The hotel is right on the Trans Canada highway with lots of noisy truck traffic.

It is under New Management and they are just starting off and are a work in progress. The owner was very kind and hospitable. It was quiet and we had a good night's sleep. Our reservations we're not available and the host upgraded our stay which was very accommodating.
