Good

Upon arrival, my room was given to someone else. Took awhile to find me a vacant room. Once I entered there was someone working on repairs and painting. The room had little privacy as the blind was broken, carpet was dirty and stained, bath mirror falling off the wall. I took pictures.
I paid the pet fee and $100 deposit, didn’t use their linens, pet does not go on furniture, and they took $100 deposit and I said I wanted it back. I took photos. The place was spotless when I left. And they kept my $100. That is theft and the owner swore at me when I called twice politely to work it out and get my deposit back. Terrible and illegal. THEFT!!! I will be calling authorities.

Disliked: Amenities
It is an old motel. Taps did not work properly. Chipped sink and tub. Lights flickered constantly after being on for awhile fridge solidity froze the water bottles . Room was clean but overwhelming Lysol smell even on second day. Restaurant good food but pricey.
Yes, the bathroom is more or less the size of a closet. And does it really matter? It was clean and on a budget holiday I’m spending most of my time off doing things, not hanging around in the room.
The attached restaurant WHIFS is lively and filled with happy families and trains and dinosaurs. What more can you ask for?😎
Hotel was good. Bed & pillows good. The place is a little outdated. Could use new carpeting as it is dirty. Check-in was good. Small room, but for the price good. Grounds are clean.
Right on the highway to the Tyrell museum. Busy road even at night. Thin walls make it a noisy sleep. Floors are definitely not level or solid but they keep it very clean.
Is a good spot to stay if you have children and need a suite to prepare food. Also, the attached restaurant serves good meals and reasonably priced. Good location too.
