Great check in. Centrally located but off the strip one block so less noise. Many families were outside having gatherings and dinner outside on barbecues. Nice kitchenette and good breakfast.

They'dnoted when booking that the pool at the property was closed, but when we arrived we found they had arranged for us to be able to use the Parkinson recreation centre facilities for free, which was super and a couple of mins walk away. Room and location nice and convenient, and a good breakfast.

It was a bummer the pool was not in service. However the communication that it wasn’t working came right after booking. Messaged the evening before our stay to see if we could maybe get an early check in due to being in town for a funeral. Already had a response by 730 am that they would see what they could do. They called before 11 am and said it was ready for us. Great customer service and communication.

The room was clean but had a very unpleasant smell. We tried a 2nd room and it had the same smell, so it's perhaps a combination of cleaning products and just old carpet, furniture, etc. We got some air freshener from the front desk and that helped, but each time we left and came back, we were grossed out by the smell. The staff was pleasant but I wouldn't stay here again unless they make some updates.

The price was right for this motel. Parking was convenient right outside the unit door. Staff were welcoming and helpful. The area is very quiet and we did not hear the neighbours. Two areas could be improved a lot: The room needs a major cleaning. Rugs shampooed and walls wiped of many finger marks. Breakfast offering could be improved with more variety like hot cereal pouches. I would stay here again.

A typical motel, though clean, with nice beds, TV, appliances (in a room with kitchenette). Breakfast is OK, not too fancy, but good enough to start the day. Rooms are a bit dated. Our A/C was ridiculously noisy - had to turn it off. The fridge was another source of noise, but manageable. The bathroom door was getting stuck, almost impossible to open. If not these issues, could be 4 stars.

Terrible staff service. We had not checked in yet and still received 2 phone calls from the staff. In the first call they said we need amex or visa for deposit. I think everyone knows about that. We go to number of hotels because of business meetings this is the first time I’m getting calls from their staff for no reason. And the second call was for that what time you are gonna arrive at the location like what? They should mention online if there is specific time for check in.

We had high hopes based on some of the reviews, but our experience fell short. The biggest issue was noise — kids were constantly shouting and running around just outside our room, making it hard to relax or sleep. The room setup was also lacking: we booked for 5 people, but there weren’t enough towels or toiletries provided, which was frustrating. The lighting was poor, with only lamps available — no proper ceiling lights, which made the room feel dim and gloomy. Pillows were extremely worn out and flat, offering no support at all. Breakfast was another letdown. It was exactly the same every single day with no variety, which got old quickly.
