Pros:

Good parking, quiet area, good for an overnight stop on the way to/from Canada. A little overpriced for the rather outdated property, but one night was okay.

Pros:

The staff were friendly and helpful, and were kind enough to sort out a technical glitch (on Expedia's end). The rooms had updated furniture, but this is an older motel building so even though it's non-smoking there is still a bit of that old lingering whiff. Leaving the window open for a few hours was very helpful, and the room was otherwise clean.

Pros:

On our way up to Canada. Decided to stay the night in Blaine to be able to cross the border in the morning. Room was nice, only big complaint it that if you're taller than 5'6" or so, the shower head is too low

Pros:

Quick stop for us. We got in late and just slept and then moved on. I think the price is a bit on the higher side for the motel as it is old school. It was clean and comfortable though. We would stay again if needed.

Pros:

It is an older, cinderblock motel, but it is clean, newly renovated, and the beds were very comfortable. If you just need a place to sleep, it’s perfect.

Pros:

Although this is an older property, it has been beautifully renovated. The room was spacious and updated, with a comfortable bed. The bathroom is still a bit dated, but clean and functional.

Pros:

The room was clean except for an unpleasant smell from sink when water was turned on. Dated decor and poor placement of furnishings. TV either didn’t work or was an extra charge which was not disclosed. Pillows were flat and very few towels which were not refreshed for our second night stay. Not like to stay again.

Nice hotel
Pros:

Hotel is close to the Canadian boarder. It was a nice hotel. Nice staff. There was no hand soap. They did refill. Bathroom was small. If you were in the millitary back in the 80's and early 90's you will understand my next reference. This hotel was like Base housing with the unfinished basements . Thats what it felt like.
