The room was nice and clean, and had everything we needed for a reasonable price. It was quiet and the front room staff member was friendly. We would stay there again.

Checked in later, around 9pm. The room I received, was an adjoining room that had a door separating my room from the main room. There was no a/c nor heat controls in my room, which I did not appreciate. There was no kind of grab handles in the bathroom. This is something I haven’t done across in quite some time. Room was fairly clean, saw some hair in the made bed.

Would not recommend
The room was dirty and some things were even broken. All the extra locks on the door were broken and the door had a huge gap. Mattress was very springy and there was a weird smell.

Didn't appreciate the police knocking on our door at 2 in the morning because someone complained about a dog barking and loud music, we were sleeping. I know they had a job to do.

Close to many amenities and far enough from loud cities. Walls are a bit thinner that you can hear the neighbours but property is pretty quiet.

We stayed two nights. The area had an enormous amount of snow and there was only one guy working. So the parking lot was ridiculous but I’m assuming that’s because it was beyond their control. Seemed like every parking lot in town looked the same.
The room was spotless and quite spacious. Quiet. Heat unit was great. Bathroom worked great. Nicely decorated. Would have given full marks if there was another blanket and a coffee maker in the room.
The mattress was the best I’ve ever slept on away from home. Better than any large chain hotel or small hotel. We slept amazing.

The shower didn’t work good. The nozzle was loose and you have almost no water coming from the shower head. The water was leaking from the bath nozzle!!!

Do not stay here!
Ok. I wasnt expecting much and I have stayed at number of low end motels but this one takes the cake. It was so bad. Disgusting beyond believe. We stayed here 1 night during an ice storm as we didnt have power for 2 days. We ended up leaving at 4am, couldnt take the constant noise and uncomfortable bed. No sleep. Paper thin walls. Did i mention dirty? Lol When we got there, we had to go home and get our own towels because the ones there had yellow and brown stains. Also no soap at all. The only good thing was the guy at the front desk was nice. Holes in walls, brown stain fluids running down the walls, cobwebs in every corner. I lysol wiped all surfaces, the wipes were brown.
