Hotel staff are great.

Front desk staff was absolutely outstanding way to go girls!!!!
dave, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Terrible place. Avoid staying at this place.

This place stinks, very rude front desk (Omar). We left the property with in an hour due to its inhabitable condition. We booked 2 rooms for 3 nights but ended up not even staying for the day. They still charged 1 night for 2 rooms. I understand they might have strict cancellation policy but the place have to be habitable. I have small kids with asthma and this place is dangerous.
Pruthvi, 3-night trip

6/10 Good

It had beds and we did sleep

We were greeted by a welcoming daddy long legs on the wall. The room was reasonably clean unless you looked under the beds. The burn marks on the table gave it a rustic feel. The stick in the open sliding window gave a faint sence of security. The premium HVAC system included a fan on the desk and an AC unit on the floor with a hose out the window. We had the VIP suite on the second floor closest to the road for maximum noise. The courtyard has a large non-functioning fountain.
Mark, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Very run down. Mattress and pillows lumpy. Worst of all bottom sheet on bare, old mattress. No mattress pad. The sheet was too small and we had to get up multiple times to try to fit it back on. Curtains too long on floor but let light in insides. Lots of road noise. Bare bulbs in bathroom light. Outside cement dirty.
Rita, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

This was legitimately the most disgusting place I have ever stayed. Everything was dirty, the toilet was taped together, and the bedding had tons are hard crusty spots.
Crunchy spot on the comforter. There were multiple.
Kristen, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Stayed for one night. The room was clean with coffee machine and mini fridge. Pretty quiet overall. Easy check in. Would stay again

great place to stay
Grant, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

This hotel is ok for a quick stopover. We could see daylight around the door so it is not very soundproof and combined with traffic it was noisy. Room was small…barely room for our luggage. Hotel is just alright.
Donna, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Pretty much completely average
Devon, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

My room smelled quite unpleasant and was very warm. The window did not lock properly so did not feel comfortable opening it overnight, and the supplied air conditioner unit was very loud. Bedside table was somewhat sticky.
Madeleine, 1-night trip

Very nice room but floors are cold

Yo, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Definitely a 2 star hotel. Don't take your shoes off. There was once a peep hole in the door, now there's just a hole. Door felt secure other than that. The tap in the shower moves freely, pretty sure that's not supposed to happen, shower still works but water pours out the tap at the same time but what do I care, I'm not paying the water bill. Outside smelled like a carnival but maybe that's just Nanaimo or BC, I'm not from here. It really wasn't as cheap as it could've been for all this!
Tara, 2-night trip

4/10 Fair

Looks like nobody cleaned the room: dust and cobwebs on the ceiling and lamp. The faucet in the sink is barely holding up, and it's scary to use it because it seems like it will break with just one movement. The staff were friendly and helpful. And you will not find a hair dryer in the room or motel they don't have it.
Iryna, 2-night trip
