Very friendly owners and staff
The owners are quite friendly and readily available to attend to your requests and enquiries. They'll happily accommodate early and late check-ins upon advanced notice, and also do what they can to make you feel as comfortable as possible. Staff are equal

Nice breakfast to fill you up
Guests enjoy the breakfast, and are quite satisfied with the selections, quality, and portions. It's a definite plus to be able to get a filling meal onsite.
positive:
Great location to use as a base
A lot of popular attractions are right within walking distance, a short drive, or very easily accessible by public transit. You can see many sites of interest during your stay, without worrying about a long commute or being bored at the motel.
Negative Reviews
negative:
Shower facilities need updating
The bathrooms could definitely benefit from a makeover, through stronger cleaning, refreshed paint and décor, or complete renovations. They are a let-down for guests, and are disappointing even for basic economy accommodations.
negative:
Strong lingering smells of smoke
Be aware that if you are sensitive to cigarette smoke, there are often strong odours that still linger upon new check-ins. Since this is a place where smoking is allowed, it seems to permeate quite a bit.
negative:
Rooms are smaller than expected
Many guests have expected the rooms to be bigger, especially the ones for larger groups. Depending upon how many people you are travelling with, and how much belongings you have, it may feel cramped and a bit stuffy.
