Use as a last resort.
Pros:

Cheap and restaurant downstairs is good. Free parking

Cons:

Impossible to sleep at night, very loud pokies with loud music all night long. Felt like a night club in the bedroom even with earplugs.
Not sound proof, could hear couples have nocturnal activities, intoxicated people fighting and screaming. Reported to the manager that didn’t care.
Toilets are gros.
Definitely wouldn’t recommend if you want to sleep and relax

Plutôt décevant
Pros:

L'hôtel est bien situé et le lit était confortable. On a le droit à du café et du thé offert ce qui est pas mal pour commencer la journée.

Cons:

J'ai payé une place de parking en option pour au final arriver et voir qu'ils n'avaient que 3 places prises et qu'on me dise qu'il faut que j'aille sur le parking public... De la poussière derrière la télé et dans les coins. Le check-in a pris un temps fou aussi. L'isolation est très mauvaise on entend le voisin tousser et renifler et sa télé aussi. Autant dire que c'est pas l'idéal pour s'endormir.

Definitely not what I was expecting.
Pros:

Nice staff.

Cons:

It's not clear on their advertisement, but it is part of a tavern/cassino complex. Gets a bit noisy you have to go through the gaming/bar area to get to the accommodation.
