Was an amazing stay and will be staying out there again when we come back for vacation again. The maids were amazing at handling some lady that was attacking us verbally for no reason. Was very clean and quiet. The room set up was amazing

Nope.
The guy at the desk wasn’t very friendly and my room was gross! Omg, I’ve never been in a room that felt this dirty and uncomfortable. The bedding was thin and I decided to sleep in my clothes to stay warm and protect myself from whatever may be on the sheets. The chairs in my room had stains and holes. The walls were dirty and the shower was so bad I decided to skip it. Would NOT recommend.

Considering the area, I felt very safe during my stay. The only con I have of my stay was that the room was well kept but it did not feel “clean”. The furniture was dusty, there was a used soap bar in the shower, and the pillows were extremely yellow as if they were stained I brought my own blankets and pillow so I slept on top of those. There was also a distinct smell, like dirty sheets and dust. Other than that the service was excellent.

Stayed here for one night being close to Honda Centre for a hockey game. Check-in was professional & lady at the check-in window arranged for our rooms to be close to each other. Older style motel with free parking. Room was basic & clean. Very spacious with a king bed , timber floors, table & chairs, microwave, fridge & ac. It's not fancy & I found it comfortable & room was reasonably priced. There are dining options nearby. Honda Centre is walkable , about 3 miles. Big A Motel suited our purpose fine.

The bed had old style springs that squeaked every time my wife or I turned in the bed. The bed spread was dirty and the cloth style overstuffed chair in the room was filthy! The bathroom was old and it took me 5 minutes to figure old the cold was hot and hot was cold!

So bummed about this. We basically checked in got ready, went to our event and didn’t even stay the night. The hotel was dirty and cold. There was only a sheet and the thin little blanket cover in the bed. No blankets! It was cold and dirty. Waste of money

Nice spot to stay in if you just need Quiet place to sleep. Staff was very friendly, and we appreciated that there were no surprise charges or fees when checking in. Room was overall clean and average. Good space, working mini fridge and microwave. Bathroom was still visibly a little dirty like hairs from previous stayers around and the shower is a bit small. Room smelled kinda old and weird, and the beds left us a little stiff and sore but you get your moneys worth. And if on a budget, we would stay there again
