For the price it was good, convenient location just off the 401, country side atmosphere. The balcony is outdated, railing not safe for kids, the door to balcony in my room wouldnt stay shut, chainlock kept it shut.

Nice old style motel. Has been renovated but doors were hard to shut tight and could see outside light coming in. Didn’t feel super secure. Nice size room, busy road so could be louder for sleeping the AC running blocked to noise nicely.
