Prior to my booking i made sure to select a non smoking room and that a continental breakfast would be included as listed on amenities of thr hotel. Once i arrived the room odur was of cigarettes and continued to get worse throughout my stay, no breakfast was offered after asking the front desk, not even a hot beverage. The TV didn't work but the bedding was clean at least. Wouldn't normally complain but feel this needs to be shared due to hotel services listed online not actually being the same as provided. Front desk staff were polite and friendly.

Inexpensive hotel with decent rooms

It was a very short stay for me, arrived early evening and had to checkout at 545 to catch a bus. The manager was friendly, very accommodating and he made my stay comfortable. If you're looking for inexpensive accommodations without a lot of frills, consider giving Star Lodge a try.

I rarely write reviews, but my experience at this hotel was so awful that I feel obligated to warn others. This place does not even deserve 1 star. From the moment I arrived, it was clear that the hotel is poorly managed and has no regard for guests’ comfort or safety. The rooms were filthy, outdated, and smelled terrible. Basic amenities you’d expect in any hotel – like clean bedding, working air conditioning, and reliable Wi-Fi – were either broken or nonexistent. The staff were unprofessional, unhelpful, and at times outright rude. Any concerns I raised were dismissed instead of resolved. Customer service simply doesn’t exist here. The entire property felt neglected, unsafe, and unsanitary. Between the noise, the dirt, and the complete lack of hospitality, my stay was miserable. There are plenty of better, safer, and cleaner options nearby – do yourself a favor and book literally anywhere else. Don’t waste your money, time, or peace of mind on this place.

Good value

I was refreshingly surprised by the kindness and great service that, Manga, the proprietor, afforded me. Although the Hotel is older, it was clean and quiet and, importantly, for a business traveler, affordable! Keep up the good work! I will stay here again. N.K. Burgess

Good just to have place to stay while having a long drive and cheap if you don’t expect too much for the price you pay then it’s worth it to have a nice and cozy bed to relax

Basic Stay

Location of the Star Lodge is very good. Easily accessible with numerous eating establishments and grocery stores nearby. Basic motel with no extra ammenities. A fulltime tenant below us was making all types of noises thru the night. In my 10 years of being a Hotels.com member and staying all over the world, this is the only place that did not accept payment thru the app which was a bit startling for me at check-in when payment in full was demanded. There was some confusion over that. It was however, a decent price compared to all the other over bloated prices of other hotels during the Canada Day long weekend
