Breakfast is always fantastic, great service my friend Cheryl says. They have a couple dog friendly rooms. She always stays in rm 24 with her frenchies.... Cheryl stayed off and on for approx. 13 days. Highly reccomend, reasonably priced, does the job. The only thing is the room heat is unbearable

Clean room and was far beyond my expectations of motels. Definitely feel like I should’ve paid more seeing how well-kept my room was. Their restaurant was just as amazing and tasty with amazing staff all around.

Hot water in shower was a dribble. Shower head old and plugged up. Non-smoking rooms but smokers encouraged to smoke just outside their units so neighbouring units can’t open their windows without getting smoked out. Nice hosts, convenient location, full size fridge. We will stay elsewhere though next trip.
