Liked: Cleanliness
Room was clean and comfortable. Staff were friendly and welcoming. Room had basic stuff like TV, Microwave, Fridge and Coffee maker.
The room was not like the pictures. There were cracks in the wall, mold in the bathroom, ceiling fan was bent and filthy. The whole room smelled of old cigarettes and pot. Was very disappointed and left quickly.
Parking was easy to find but not secure. rooms were disgusting. Wall panels falling off. Trim falling down. No hot water to shower. Caulking around tub missing and mold growing.
I was fine with a no frills room, but it was freezing in the room and no way to turn up the heat. I had to sleep in my Canafa Goose jacket. Would not recommend during winter.
Way to much noise in the room above me, internet didn’t work in my room and when I asked to use the laundry room they just rudely said “sorry you can’t” I asked why they said it was past 7pm I said ok well can I use it in the morning they said “no we will be using it tommrow” so why list that you have a laundry mat if nobody can use it?

Liked: Staff & service
The bathroom inside door was dirty and the electrical heater and the wall beside the sink
Very good accommodation, clean and comfortable,
I would stay there again.
One complaint is that the Cable TV service said only
“to be announced”. & never showed the actual listings.
Also sugar was not provided with the coffee makings.
Please dont go here !! Very dirty , room . They had no smoking signs everywhere , but the minute we entered our room , the room was full of cigarette and drugs smell , which was awful as we were staying with family and had to endure this the whole night and morning . Authorities pls do something for this , it was really difficult staying there
