Online, this property looked like one of those cool old school strip motels. In person, it was run down and on a one-way frontage road that had been shoehorned into a space right next to the freeway. Garbage cans out front the next morning were surrounded by trash.
When I checked in, we had to pay more than expected. This was not their fault-Expedia does not give prices in Canadian dollars, even when that is how you have to pay. On top of that, the person demanded a $100 deposit beyond the pet fee. She said it was for anything missing from the room, and we would get it back. This is a first for us. The room was saggy and the door had no decent lock. The smoke alarms had been gutted, and there were few places to plug anything in.I had called ahead to try to find out what the dog fee was, etc, but I could not understand the person on the phone at all. I had a very hard time understanding her even in person.
At one time, this must have been a nice property. It had a path to a gazebo by the river, and 2 boats were docked there. The houses around it were very fancy.
