An older motel but nicely renovated. Staff very helpful and accommodating. Very clean and quiet. It is right behind the PetroCan truck stop! Expected to be up all night but it was very quiet. Great location and could walk for dinner and breakfast.

Stopped here on my way east. Was a nice place, memory foam bed and pillows! My only complaint was I had to shower sideways. Need a curved curtain rod in there!

We stayed here a few years ago and the same friendly young fella is managing the place. He is super helpful and kind. The rooms are cozy and the beds are great. Warm, cozy and quiet.

The motel exceeded our expectations. This is an older motel that has been nicely upgraded. The room was spotlessly clean, the beds comfortable, spacious fridge with large freezer, microwave and coffee maker. We weren't aware of any traffic or neighbouring room noise. The front desk staff was very welcoming and courteous. The pet fee was very reasonable. I would have loved to try the homemade breakfast buns or cinnamon rolls but were pushed for time. Will definitely try to stay here on our way back. BONUS, Tim Hortons next door.

Friendly courteous staff. Comfy bed. Great WiFi. Good tv channel choice. Bath and shower over. Red rose tea bags in the room would have been nice. The additional breakfast was really lovely. We chose homemade breakfast buns and tiny meringues apple slices and blueberries plus milk and a hot drink. It came to our room so we could enjoy breakfast in bed. Such a treat.

The room was really clean and fine for one night stay. I needed a few things and the manager was so kind that I felt totally comfortable asking. Ahh and there weren’t many spots for breakfast nearby,so I ordered their handmade morning set, tbh it was just great haha. Highly recommend!

Cozy and warm place The mattress is super comfy, and even though the room is a bit small, it has everything you need. Very quiet and bright. Perfect for a short stay!
