Wonderful

Despite our late arrival (11:30pm) the lady in the office was pleasant and extrememly helpful. She got us checked in fast. Helped us with advice for our drive to Thunder Bay and offered us blankets for our pets. If we ever find ourselves doing this cross country drive or move again, we will def stay here!

The hotel itself was very nice… but the area appeared a little “rough” and unnerving. I’d still recommend the hotel to friends and family. Just need to be aware of your surroundings.
The motel was exceptionally clean and much better than expected

The room is decently big.The bathroom is updated at least.
The door knob doesn't open or locks easy (they were aware of it even before) until we figured the technique to it. The air conditioning unit does not turn on at all even for a fan.
Very Clean, good value. Stayed two nights for the tourist train trip. Yes it is an older place but it is very clean and has large rooms . had the 2 bed room. Our room was very quiet and comfortable.

This is a small older motel that has done some upgrades. Room was ok for one evening. Room had a musty smell. There are many nicer places to stay in this area probably around the same rate. Bed was comfortable, the air conditioning unit looked rode hard and put away wet. Staff were friendly. If you are on a tight budget it will work for a. Short stay
Staff were very friendly and helpful. The room was clean. We would stay again! AC is a bit noisy but I wear earplugs anyway. The trick to use the AC is to turn on the switch on the wall. Shower water temperature fluctuates so be ready to shift away when it goes very hot. Stayed 3 nights in room 22 at the back. Perfect location for peace & quiet. No street noise or cart noise when staff have to clean. Plenty of room for my dog to walk and do his business. They even provide doggy bags for you to pick up after your pup. A good variety of restaurants in the area to choose from. Close enough to downtown, farmers market and waterfront area.
The property overall was fine. The room was very clean and spacious. The parking was not the greatest and some of the people were tenants of the property, not guests.

Disliked: Amenities
Very tired looking. Room was not refreshed on second day. Had to go to the desk to get fresh towels. No replacement toilet roll. Very very noisy neighbours until 3 am both evenings. Overpriced for the standard
Basic motel just off Hwy 17. Use GPS to locate as it is hiding behind Catalina Motel. No carpet in main room, so take off shoes ASAP otherwise you get grit all over the room. Metro and Stacked pancake house nearby. Parking lot needs to be repaved as it has uneven surfaces. Clean room and bathroom. Toilet requires holding the flusher down a long time.
