My stay was pleasant. I will definitely stay there again.
Pros:

I like the fact that I can pull right up to the door easy access to room

Cons:

My only wish was that there was a bedside lamp. I had to leave the TV on in order to have light in the room in case I have to go to the bathroom.

Super pour une nuit d'étape.
Pros:

Motel rénové et propre a 15 min a pied du centre ville (restaurants, bar, animations).
La propriétaire nous accueille avec le sourire et elle est très gentille.

Cons:

On est proche des places de parking donc quand les pick-up américains démarrent (tard le soir ou tôt le matin), c'est un peu bruyant. Sinon, rien d'autre a dire.

Excellent stay with friendly staff, great service, and outstanding value for money.
Pros:

This is the kind of classic motel you see in movies, with parking directly in front of the room. The staff were friendly, welcoming, helpful, and always willing to assist. The reception desk is open 24/7. Although daily housekeeping is not provided, they were happy to clean my room when I extended my stay. They also recommended several places to visit in the area over the weekend. Excellent stay, excellent motel — highly recommended.

The check in lady was very nice and accommodating. The overall state of the room was good and served my purpose. The plu
Pros:

Easy access to the main road and local restaurants

Cons:

The rooms are minimal. The hot water for the shower took about 7 minutes before it became hot. The sink water never did get hot and needed to shave with cold water. Would have been nice to have a plush chair to sit in versus the old office chair that leaned back way too far.

Clean but not perfect
Pros:

The location is near downtown. The rooms were clean and appeared to have been updated fairly recently. The staff was very friendly.

Cons:

The lighting was horrible. There were no lamps on the bedside tables which was very annoying. The hotel is on a busy street so noise was high.
