I did not like that it says there is air conditioning but the rooms were so incredibly hot we could barely sleep. I beds are very uncomfortable and noisy. If someone gets up to use the washroom you are sure to wake up your partner or the person staying with you. It's a very average place. People are nice but I was very unhappy with not having any ac at plus 25-30 degree weather.

The price is why me and any other person looking, after reading the reviews is considering. It’s a place to sleep on a travelling across country trip. The room was tidy looking but the walls, floors etc were grimy and dirty. Sleep on top of the blankets and sheets and bring your own t cover your body. You’ll been fine for one night. The man running the place was nice to me and my two sons.

So quiet at nights. There’s a store that they owned, so it’s not far to buy some snacks or water. Including there’s a water park across the road behind the railway museum. For kids to go play with other kids…

This is a small 12x12 room with two beds, which was incredibly uncomfortable and hard, same with the pillows. The building and rooms are rundown and dirty. For the price of a night stay, you would think that the owners would modernize or take better care of their facility! Sleep in your car! You'll wake up with a sore back and neck, but you'll save 200 bucks!

There was nothing we liked, there was mould around the tub. The room had a terrible odour. Vents were falling out of the ceilings and full of dust. The best thing I could recommend is that the room be gutted and redone. The price charged for the night was atrocious

Very run down. Front door to the entrance lobby left wide open with questionable persons smoking weed and cigarettes at the door so the whole place stunk. There is no one around to assist as it shuts down in the evening and the staff are all new to the area from the Philippines. Nice people but they are shipped in to take care of everything and have no knowledge of the area. Fights happening outside at 11pm and then again at 1:30am in the room next door waking us up. Don't stay here if you need a good sleep or with families.

The rugs were dirty and mold was growing in the bathroom sink. The bed was disgusting and the bed was being held up with bricks. The box spring was absolutely filthy. I would not recommend my dog to stay the night there. And when I checked in they told me I had to put down a $200 damage deposit. I thought that was quite ridiculous considering what the room looked like.
