Great staff, easy to deal with, clean, comfortable, good food, all you need
Pros:

These answers are based off my son's stay. I booked for him from Calgary. He had no issues checking in. No, issues rebooking or extending his stay. He likes the food. The staff is friendly overall good experience.

Meh...
Pros:

Proximity to the highway. Close to the restaurants. Good wifi. The room was clean.

Cons:

The breakfast was made of leftovers from previous day. At 5:05 AM, I went to get some food and all I could get was some cold 'boiled' eggs and one greasy sausage. The only one in the tray.
