No frills accommodation
Pros:

easy check-in and check-out. Clean room, inexpensive - basic accommodation. We just needed a clean bed for the night before continuing on our trip, so it suited our needs.

Cons:

The room was worn and tired looking., for example damage to a wall was not repaired and a piece of molding was missing.

Room good breakfast flop
Cons:

Breakfast could have been way better minimum standard should be brewed coffee not hot water from machine. That was very disappointing Should offer bread for toast bagels or croissants and apples not just bananas

Pros:

I felt that the manager probably very clean and neat person. it was so clean I love it!

Cons:

I expect that I could go to City Cruises Gananoque stop(?) by walk, it around takes 25mins . so we just drive to there, but still so cheap and clean I recommended!
