OK for one nght but I'd look for an alternative in future.
Pros:

Parking easy and breakfast in the motel's partner cafe was very good.

Cons:

The motel is located right behind a major shopping mall, difficult to find and not very attractive, and not very close to town centre. We were treated rather off-handedly by check-in staff. It's decor and furnishings had a very 'tired' look.

I don’t mind paying more for good quality…this wasn’t the case
Pros:

Location of hotel is in close proximity to St FX where my daughter goes to school

Cons:

1. TV did not work. Found it wasn’t plugged in. When it finally powered up there were no (0) channels available. Called front desk and got answering machine.
2. Found black specs on the bedsheets. Was concerned there were bed bugs
3. Feel I had no choice to pay higher price due to no rooms available in town. When checking in overheard someone walking off the street got room for $60 less.

Room was clean and a nice size. Loved the smart tv and the ability to connect to our subscriptions .
