The room was clean and quiet, however, the property is showing its age. We were advised not to use the microwave and another appliance at same time as it could trip a breaker.... We also received a phone call close to midnight asking when we would be arriving which was odd since we had checked in 6 hours earlier.

We stop by overnight stay in our road trip to Vancouver. On the way our arrival was delayed due to traffic. But night staff was so understandable and nice. She left the room key for us even though reception desk close at 11.00pm. Very much appreciated that help.
