This motel was OK for a one night stay. It was clean and the staff were friendly. The pool wasn't open and there were no amenities available on the property. The location was OK but close to a main road with a lot of cars driving by. The TV was OK, not many channels to watch.

This motel was barely adequate. The room has a Strong disinfectant smell. Furniture is old & cheap. The staff were nice especially the morning person (woman). It's challenging To get into the property because of the location.

They are in the middle of renovating. The service was quick and easy. The hard part is access/see/find to the main driveway without going to the back when you get off the highway.

Newly renovated room with stylish upgrades like sleek shower head with additional shower handle and bedside reading lamps. Large TV with plenty of viewing channels. Comfiest beds. Quiet room on side away from highway. Pool was open and being used. Staff very friendly and accommodating throughout stay. The office area is undergoing renovation, so no coffee. The GPS directions for the entrance was off. Had to enter from a side street instead.

Our first room smelt of marijuana and had toilet water all over the floor. so they moved us to another room that smelt of smoke drowning in bleach and chemicals. I asked if we could get a refund because of how bad it was and they said no. Unfortunately. I will never stay again. Non-smoking should be none smoking! Or a refund should be given.

We got there early and waited at the lobby. Called and the young man at the desk apologized because he was helping housekeeping. Speaks volumes of character. He was also very nice and professional. From the outside this seems like a little motor inn. Just from my the lobby it looks like major changes were happening. When we got to our room. Wow! This was nice! Clean, comfy and modern! Had a nice wonderful nights rest.

The location being close to the QEW at Ontario St. makes it inherently noisy. The hotel was under renovations, the room had a new shower and bathroom fixtures. Unfortunately and top hinge of the bathroom door was lose from the frame. The bed was soft and sagging in the middle. The TV remote didn't control volume. Fridge worked well. Some of the lights seem to have a flicker. Bedding and room were clean.

This is an adequate place to stay if you're not expecting a great deal of luxury. The property is near a highway, so be aware of the potential for traffic noise. The room was clean and the shower was updated, which was plus. However, the towels were a bit rough and the room could have used a few more outlets for charging devices.

We stayed last minute, due to a death in our family. Place was clean, comfortable and staff was very pleasant.
