Things were generally okay considering it’s a low cost motel. The couple at the front desk were very friendly. Only criticism I could offer was that the two bars of soap in the shower looked as if a mouse had taken a bite out if them. No complaints about our stay otherwise.

Dave

Disliked: Staff & service
There were no other hotel options within the area available due to a tournament of some kind. Upon arrival staff attempted to increase the rate to double+ the cost because of lack of availability. As I had booked via expedia with the rate already outlined they were required to maintain it much to their disgruntlement.

Ice machine?

Trans Canada LOUD. Maybe earplugs should be suggested? And chiselling frost from owner freezer is not really ice. Ok for the price.
This freezer burn Frost was given to me as "ice" when I asked for ice.
