It was decent for the price. The staff were polite and very accommodating. The remote for the tv didn’t work, but I’m sure they would have helped us with it if we asked. The air conditioner worked great, they could get newer mattress and pillows.

Seen a lot of not so good reviews for this place. This was not my experience at all. Good clean room for a very affordable price. Person working front desk (owner I believe) was very friendly and let me see the room before booking. We forgot an item at the hotel, owner called us up and even agreed to possibly meet us somewhere in lower mainland to return item. Good hotel at a good price, well run. You can’t ask for much more.

A horrible night stay

First owner gave me a room without clean up from last tenant. After I complained, he gave me another room which has flies/other insects and water that is constantly dripping from the main switch.

Manager was friendly and accommodating. Price was fairly low compare to the rest of hotels in the area during Canada Day long weekend. Parking was available. AC was working ok. Shower and hot water was available. Toilet was leaning and almost falling. Fridge was newer. Front door lock was not working properly, needs a new lock. BEDS WERE OLD AND DEFINITELY NEED UPGRADE! I HAD BED BUG BITES AFTER THAT NIGHT. This place has some potential but needs a major facelift! It is extremely ran down!

You get what you pay for

Front desk were pretty rude... we arrived at almost 4pm and the room was not ready for another 30 mins even tho check in starts at noon. The beds were super uncomfortable and the window was left wide open so anyone could have gone into the room

If you are looking for an affordable place to stop for the night, this is perfect. We will be back for a place ti stay when passing through. The reviews had us worried but turned out to be way overblown. The road runner is aged and basic, but rather than blowing $100+ for a place to sleep , for $50 it has everything you need. Just keep your expectations in check and ignore all the other comments.

Disgusting !! Broken locks, rotting food in the fridge, no internet unless you're outside, just absolutely disgusting, I cannot believe that you actually have this hotel available on your website, I need to know how to get this place identified by Health Canada as uninhabitable.
