Overnight stay

Quick overnight visit. Very helpful staff. Stairs to room were steep but nice gentleman helped with luggage. They have two washers and driers, which was a plus in my book. Easy walk to stores for supplies, Four Square has great chicken and fries. Fish and chips next door and a liquor store just round the corner. Couldn’t ask for more and price was cheap. Maybe needs some up dating but it served its purpose and I’d definitely use them again.
