Pros:

We arrived later than our committed time due to unexpected road conditions (I believe we arrived after the stated reception time) but a courteous gentleman promptly checked us in and showed us in. We were very appreciative of that.
Amenities were better than expected, like in-room kettle, breakfast biscuits, hair conditioner etc. The heater worked great as the night we stayed there dropped below 0 outside. The microwave in the covered smoking area was weird but it worked so I am not complaining. The location was convenient as there's a restaurant and convenience store (liquor store too) onsite. Parking seemed plenty within the courtyard, we didn't have to park on the street.

Cons:

The room was tight. We barely had space to open one of our suitecases at a time. It was sufficient for a quick stay in town. The path to the shared toilet was covered, but basically outside; luckily our room was situated right next to it but otherwise the trip to the toilet would have been pretty cold every time.

If you're just looking for a place to sleep, this could work for you
Pros:

The location is good, very nearby to the town.

Cons:

1) The parking was very limited due to there was a Bistro and TAB next to the motel, hence everyone of us shared the same parking spot.
2) The room was in a compact size where we were hardly move/walk around at the same time.
3) If you expect a quiet and peace night during your sleeping time, you can skip this accommodation, reason being the music was still playing after 10pm. Also, you can heard people was talking very loud outside your room too.
