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.

Emergency purpose room only

Was an emergency extra night stay due to weather. Could not accommodate parking car+trailer. Had to leave 300M away and walk along snowy road to reach room. (Sidewalks were impassable - not Motel fault) No hangers in closet area. Forced air heat system - could not control temp, but at least relatively quiet. Room access via narrow laneway. No coffee/tea maker.

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!!!

It is time to invest money in cleaning up this hotel. It could use proper caulking in the bathroom, new paint everywhere, fixing and stabilizing of the toilets, and leveling of floors so when walking on the laminate it does not crack under your feet.
