Booked a room at this hotel. Was sent down the street to their "other" rooms. Very old, beds very uncomfortable. Limited plugins. However was very clean. Gentlemen who showed us the room was very friendly and helpful

I won’t stay again. It’s a cheap price but I prefer not to see bugs in my room. I considered leaving but was too tired. Besides being dated (which I don’t mind) the paint was peeling , the bath was stained or dirty ( wasn’t going to find out which) the proposals be torn down or at least completely renovated.

I would stay here again in the future.
I got the room for $65 + tax, per night. We stayed for 3 nights. Not a huge room, but it was clean and comfortable. You do get what you pay for, but in this case I think it was well worth it. I would say no kids is a good idea, being there is not much room and nothing in the immediate area for them. DQ right across the street and a Tim Hortons 2 blocks away. I Would Stay here Again in the future.

Owner is amazingly sweet and personable!
It needs a little work to update it, but all in all, the beds were comfortable and it was clean. The owner is super friendly and accommodating. We had a nice little chat when I was checking out. He’s a great man and really cares about the people who stay here. Nice for a quick stay when you’re rolling through town.

I really wanted to give this place a good review, because the property manager was friendly and tried to accommodate us. There is very little that is redeemable about this spot, especially at this price. Smell, cleanliness and safety were all concerns.

It was adequate for the price. Would be much cleaner looking if you added a coat of paint n fixed the bathroom fan.
