So quiet at nights. There’s a store that they owned, so it’s not far to buy some snacks or water. Including there’s a water park across the road behind the railway museum. For kids to go play with other kids…

This is a small 12x12 room with two beds, which was incredibly uncomfortable and hard, same with the pillows. The building and rooms are rundown and dirty. For the price of a night stay, you would think that the owners would modernize or take better care of their facility! Sleep in your car! You'll wake up with a sore back and neck, but you'll save 200 bucks!

There was nothing we liked, there was mould around the tub. The room had a terrible odour. Vents were falling out of the ceilings and full of dust. The best thing I could recommend is that the room be gutted and redone. The price charged for the night was atrocious

Very run down. Front door to the entrance lobby left wide open with questionable persons smoking weed and cigarettes at the door so the whole place stunk. There is no one around to assist as it shuts down in the evening and the staff are all new to the area from the Philippines. Nice people but they are shipped in to take care of everything and have no knowledge of the area. Fights happening outside at 11pm and then again at 1:30am in the room next door waking us up. Don't stay here if you need a good sleep or with families.

It was a very rough area. Not much parking. Room was very in need of renovating. I have to say the beds were comfortable which is the main thing we are looking for.

The rugs were dirty and mold was growing in the bathroom sink. The bed was disgusting and the bed was being held up with bricks. The box spring was absolutely filthy. I would not recommend my dog to stay the night there. And when I checked in they told me I had to put down a $200 damage deposit. I thought that was quite ridiculous considering what the room looked like.

While the staff was excellent, the stairs to our suite broke while I was descending them. Definitely need more timely and regular maintenance. I appreciate that they refunded some of our money for this unsafe situation.

Beds were clean and comfortable, wood decor was pleasant, and shower was very nice. But - stairs to suite were falling apart and unsafe, supported by cement bags and bricks. Screen door handle was broken and sharp. Main wood door was in poor shape. Door lock between our and the other suite was shoddy and we could see/hear other side messing with the lock. Balcony door was locked and would not open. Room was no smoking but there was a tray full of cig butts we could see on the balcony and room smelled slightly of smoke. A full coffee mug with coffee from previous occupant was still in the microwave. No TV as no signal due to no HDMI cable and remotes were non functional. Mgmt said they would fix it but never did. Room was way overpriced for the shape it was in. Also surprised with a $200 additional deposit at check in. Suite would not pass any fire or building inspections.
