Overall good place to spend a night

Hot water for shower great
Marý, 2-night trip

4/10 Fair

The towels and bedding are new yet the rooms are tired. The new owners say they are renovating. They painted the building and room doors are a new color. However they just glopped new paint over old and you can see the prior removed room number plate. Also the door bottoms look rotted and they just installed a metal plate at the bottom. The plan is a boutique accommodation. Well they have a long way to go. The area around the lodge is sketchy.

2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

This is a fairly basic motel but perfectly fine, clean and comfortable, in an unbeatable location downtown. Rooms are set back a bit from the street so they stay quiet. The parking is enclosed and seems very secure. For me the biggest drawback was loud and fairly ineffective air-conditioning (although it did work). I would definitely stay again.
Jeffrey, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

A good deal for the price, very centrally located, and bus lines close by.

Edward, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Ok I guess

Graduation day at university stay over. Expensive for what you get. No frills of any kind. Very spartan and cheap. However, people checking you in were nice, room was very clean. This is what happens when you wait too long to reserve a room.,
Terry, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

The place was very convenient for exploring downtown. Staff was friendly but bathroom door was deteriorating and was hard to shut and open.
Radford, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

I was not expecting Clean comfortable place, but it was and it served the purpose of a safe place to stay for the night on the move.
Lawrence, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Excellent staff and they took care of the customers. This is our third time staying at the place and everyone committed to ensure the service of excellence. The property was situated not too far from the University. However, we could not hear any noises around the area. We slept very well for both nights. We will come back and stay at this place again.

CARMEN, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

It’s a little “Schitts Creek-ish”, clean & safe, but dark/dated furnishing/decor. With the new SantaFe facility opening, I imagine the neighborhood will improve. walked to great restaurants , but not alone nor after dark. Soon this place will be updated & twice the room rate.
