James, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Perfect for one night

Affordable and clean. Staff was accommodating to our late arrival.
Angela, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Good shower

Shower was amazing. Great pressure and temperature. Thin walls and door make it quite noisy if it’s busy or people wake up before you.
Nathan, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Okay for 1 night

We occupied the last available room. Neighbourhood not the best but okay for 1 night. Beds comfy.
1-night trip

8/10 Very good

The room was clean but in need of painting and repairs. Fortunately the room our other family members were in was updated and not rough like ours. Overall it was fine and in a convenient location.

Clean and quiet
Bertha, 4-night trip

6/10 Good

Was there for a ball tournament and was unable to use the laundry facilities due to it being closed at 9. Area was super sketchy and I couldn’t find an ice machine. The beds were super uncomfortable and squeaked every time you moved.

10/10 Exceptional

Good value. I would stay there again.
FRANK, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

The staff are excellent…friendly, accommodating, hard working. Unfortunately the place is old and rundown and when you open the door, it smells strongly of cleaning solution. That’s good…because you know it’s been properly cleaned…but it wasn’t a pleasant smell and we had to air out for quite awhile before feeling comfortable. If you simply want a place to sleep for the night while driving through, it’s fine.
Zeta, 2-night trip
