Great deal

The customer service was top notch, very helpful and friendly. There is a washer/ dryer for those that are packing light like we were. Parking is a little tough but lots of overflow lots. The walls were thin so you could hear the neighbors but for the price, it’s a great place to stay!

Stayed here fr couple nights, previous as well as new owner both were really gud and always happy to help. Room was gud. Only issue was the housekeeping staff. Soap, shampoo dispenser was empty. Went to see the housekeeping staff (female staff) , she did came to refill it but was very unprofessional. She took a fork from kitchenette, to prick the top of bottles to put in dispenser. After that she just rinsed the fork and left it back there. Rest linen were not changed we stayed for 4 nights, and was not sure it was suppose to be done by housekeeping or not. Bathroom wasn't cleaned even once while we were there. Owner is doing his best, always running around to make sure customers are happy. I wish housekeeping staff should be giving their 100 percent too, to make customers stay memorable.

The motel room was very small as well as the shower recess. The window could not be closed properly. We found one cracked plate in the cupboard with tasteless coffee. The window view faced a dumped car in an overgrown field. There was no bus stop, so we had to take an Uber to the city centre.
