I stayed here for a week while waiting for my rental suite to become available. It's older but suited me perfectly. The staff were super friendly too. It's hard to find anything negative to say when you pay $85 for a room with a kitchenette and included breakfast. Would highly recommend!

Got booked into a pet friendly room, # 41. It's infested with fleas. The neighbour said a long term tenant just moved out and it's one of the last units with carpet. Hopefully they won't book anyone else into this room until it's clean.

Nice and clean..great continental breakfast. Managers and staff are super friendly. It's an old motel so don't expect luxury. It's built on a hill so there are stairs if you are in above rooms. Two flights down to breakfast. Small rooms..some minor issues like my toilet rocked on the floor and sink was drippy. Still it's decent for someone on a budget.

It was a lovely stay, we were with 5 people, including 3 vegans and they were super helpfull by buying us special vegan breakfast items. Thanks a lot again, it was a nice, clean and neat place to stay

Clean, affordable and the ladies who look after the continental breakfast are wonderful. Missed getting an efficiency but lucky for me, because I got a fresh-made waffle! Thank you
