Highly recommended great value
Great location, close to TRU and amenities. Hotel is working hard to renovate and upgrade the motel. Even so, we weren't bothered by any noise or disturbed by the work. Beds were amazing. It's clean and comfortable. There are kitchen units but we didn't need one. We felt safe, secure and comfortable. The look out is next door and offered a great view of the city. Dogs are welcome and we had not issues with ours. Only thing I would improve on is the soap dispensers are hard to squeeze for those of us with health issues and I would have enjoyed some creamer with the coffee, but it was fabulous all the same.

Awesome, clean, comfortable, good price and great location. Able to bring our dog, no carpets which is awesome, staff were amazing. Still undergoing renovations but we weren't bothered by it at all. Pretty quiet, great beds and pillows. Can't recommend enough. Will stay here again.

Staff very accommodating and friendly! Room cleanliness was excellent. Beds very comfortable. Nice resent renovations. Price was very affordable. Only issue was that sound travelled easily from 2nd floor to room below. Suggest a 2nd floor room.

Honestly if u just need a place to stay for the night it’s perfect. Super affordable and the rooms were nice with a pretty nice view. Staff were nice and helpful. Renovations going on but it still gets the job done. Only con is that the plumbing is pretty loud for the surrounding rooms next to you. But overall I would recommend it, doesn’t look the best from outside but is good from the inside.
