I was there 7 years ago, and I was looking forward to a colourful room. I miss the murals! I could tell the paint was done recently. Hope there will be new murals next time. Windows and air conditioner filter could use a good cleaning, but otherwise it was very nice.

It was quite pricey for a off highway motel room, i would have expected it to be half of what we actually paid. Aside from that, the owner was very nice and pleasant, the room was clean and tidy but a bit run down, but again, its an off highway motel, not the Ritz-Carlton.

Pretty worn down property. Minimum maintenance done. The guy who checked in was very nice. He was told by property owner to look after when they were gone and he seemed to be confused with our reservation.

Disliked: Amenities
If you want to impress your lady don't bring her here. One thing is they have a portable heater that kept dripping out. Second there is a coffee maker but no coffee or creamer or cups or cabinet to put these things in, these things are standard in the industry. Icing on the cake happened in the morning the power was out so no water to flush the toilet and no shower for the wife. I think there was a scheduled power outage since I saw Hydro One working on the lines down the street in any case no discount was offered.

We have 2 rooms, the heater in room 5 is really loud. The amenities are basic. I like that in each room, there is a fridge and a microwave.
