We are extremely disappointed of this place. Room 119 was literally on the street corner with people walking by continuously and looking in. Absolutely zero privacy. The cleaning of the room was not done properly as we could feel the dirt on the floor. For amount of money we paid (1.1K for 2 nights) we were expecting better. I recommend you to stay somewhere else.

Amazing Stay

It was a great stay. It is right across the street from Canoe Hotel. You get to use the same hot tub and sauna and gym as Canoe Hotel guests. No complains here. The room was very close to the bus stop, which takes you downtown.

The property was nice and accommodations good, it was just the check in and out that was problematic. I used Expedia so it was paid for and when my son checked in, they mistakenly charged him for the room when they charged for the deposit; the deposit was expected. They credited him so that was fine, but when he went to get deposit back upon check out (which they said he had to use since using a debit card for that) they were unable to credit on the debit card so they had to wait around until the person was able to get cash. Quite the hassle.

I was worried that it was an unmanned motel, but it was perfect. We had a small issue with the air conditioner and maintenance. Was there within five minutes.. the coffee tea bag was very nice. We were able to walk to the Roam bus. We were definitely book with them again.
Courtyard right outside our door.

The room was great. The only issue with the room, was the only place to sit in the room was the bed. The internet was not great, but functional. The room advertised a pool and a hot tub, but they were actually across the street at a different property.
