Mixed perceptions: several guests felt it wasn’t worth the price (high pet/damage fees), while others noted you get what you pay for given the lower tier.

OK at best
Pros:

The room was suitable, but one bed was broken, had squeaky springs and a loose headboard. While pet friendly, the fees were rather high, charging me $50 for my 2 dogs for one night. The area is a bit remote, and walking dogs after dark, we encountered a girl who had been beaten and needed help. The facilities were adequate but not worth the price. I have had better for less. I had planned on stopping on the way home but didn't want to stay there again.

Great Staff But…
Pros:

While I understand it’s a budget hotel, I still expect things to be clean. The toilet was dirty, furniture was dirty, bathroom had mold and hair all over as did some of the sheets, and there was graffiti on the walls. I will stay the staff were excellent and I did not have the breakfast, but based on the cleanliness of the room I will not be back.

Pros:

The front desk person had to give us 3 different rooms because of plumbing problems in the first 2. The bathroom receptacle didn't work and the bathroom door knob was broken. The outside of the building was very run down. Would not recommend this hotel at all.

Pros:

Language difficulties and no Expedia experience made the check-in painful.

There is a $500 posted damage deposit, I paid $200.

It’s a bit rough around the edges but you get what you pay for. The pet fee is $25 per night.

Expedia description noted there is a guest laundry, when I asked about it after the interminable check in the front desk told me there is no guest laundry which is maddening given I chose this place for that reason to save cab fares to and from a laundromat. Thanks Expedia! Not!!!


There is ample semi truck parking in a vacant lot next to the hotel, which is the second reason I chose it.

The pluses are the interior spaces are clean and tidy, beds are comfortable,

We’ll see how the next 3 nights go.

Pros:

Unfortunately the choice of tv channels was very limited. There is no sports channel to watch Oilers hockey.
Also, no face cloth to wash up or to take a shower.
