Cleanliness 4/5 Customer Service 5/5 Issues with Bed makes it overall experience 2/5. Room number 21, bed was in pretty bad condition. Every time you move even slightest bed makes loud squeaky noise. Was not comfortable to sleep at all with it. Add AC making loud noise as well.

Plus they only changed the bed and didnt clean.

Quick stop for the night. Had a good nights rest. Room could use some fixing up. I didn’t like the blinds either. It was full blackout or no privacy pick one. For a motel it was fine.

Condition of the building is horrible. It's never been renovated and looks different compare to picture. The recommended price should be 30$ pet night max.

The room (#7) we were assigned was quite dirty. It smelt moldy. The shower walls were slimy and the shower floor grimy. The faucet leaked. There was an outlet with no outlet cover - exposed wires. We complained to the manager who offered to switch rooms and showed us room #10 which was cleaner. When my wife lifted a corner of the mattress to look for signs of bedbugs (something we do in every hotel/motel) the manager immediately said that’s it and asked us to leave. He refunded our $100 damage deposit. Expedia refunded us 1 nights stay, but we still paid for 2 nights accommodation we didn’t use. The manager’s quick switch to ordering us to leave makes me think he was hiding something ! Stay clear of this motel! We are in our 70’s, have travelled extensively in Canada and Europe and Hawaii and never had a problem and never been treated like this.

The owner was very rude, very degrading, I felt like I was being watched all the time. They got upset that I was in my teammates room as there is “no visitor” policy which is fine but he came in aggressive and rude and demanded me to leave not knowing I was just down in the next room. Mansplaining things as if I’m a child. My door was unlocked when I got back (I always check my doors before I leave) but everything was there.

I had a room booked. When I arrived, my pet wasn't allowed to stay. When we made arrangements for my pet, I was told the room was taken and I could not stay. I have left a voicemail to get reimbursed the cost of the room, but have yet to hear back.

The location and setup were fine, but I had a mixed experience with the management. One staff member was helpful and assisted with the check-in process and paperwork, which was appreciated. However, the other woman—who appeared to be the owner—came across as quite pushy and made the interaction feel uncomfortable. Her approach was more stressful than welcoming, which took away from the overall experience.
