It's very convenient that the twin-bedded room is divided into two rooms, even though there are no doors. The room was cozy and clean. A huge thank you to the staff for their responsiveness and professionalism.

We did not care for the coffee supply. Had to go out to MacDonalds to buy our own. Back room was lovely and quiet, front room noisy from the traffic. Thanks.

Was a very good deal for having 2 separate rooms. Bathroom was nicely renovated. Bed was firm and comfortable. Good location not too far from downtown, but is along a busy road so if you are in the room facing the road, you can still hear some cars at night.

Great friendly service . The family suite is nice & spacious, just the only down fall was the hot water running out half way through 1 shower (there were 5 of us) & the weak water pressure but otherwise great place to stay , beds are comfortable & the free parking was a bonus.
