I don’t normally complain but this “hotel” is beyond REPULSIVE! My suspicions about it being a homeless shelter were confirmed in the morning when I saw a Salvation Army Emergency van outside with clients. I was trying to desperately reserve judgement, even after I removed boogers from the wall beside the sink, but lost my mind when a bed bug crawled over me while my daughter and I were sitting on the bed. I provided a photo of the bug to the desk person who was very apologetic. Yes, they refunded my money. No, the manager has not yet contacted me though I have even phoned the Wyndham head office in the USA. I explained that the fact that it is being used as short term housing for homeless individuals should be disclosed as I NEVER would have stayed there, especially with my daughter!!! We had to pack up and leave immediately as we were so disgusted, and had to find a new hotel, check in, and finish getting ready for the wedding we were about to attend within 1.5 hours! Furthermore, we are praying that the bed bugs haven’t hitched onto our belongings! My entire weekend has been ruined as I was to visit my extended family at a cottage reunion but didn’t want to spread these bugs. This should NOT be a Wyndham property. Advertising is false. We were afraid for our safety in the morning upon realizing what this hotel actually is, apart from the bed bugs and the general filth. I am seeking further Wyndham compensation!

If you just need a bed and a room you can lock, this is the place for you. But if a roadside motel is not your jam, carry on! It's been a long time since I was in a motel that stank of cigarette smoke, but this one brought back all kinds of memories. Breakfast was a banana, fruit loops, counter eggs, or waffles (until the machine broke and they ran out of syrup). Beds were fine. Shower worked and if you 'bap' the microwave just so, it worked as well. Overall, the wifi was functional and this motel gave me a safe place to stay for the week. I am thankful for the budget room. Pub attached to this hotel has SUPER REASONABLE pricing and delicious food!

The room was lightly cleaned, meaning only clean beddings, towels, floor was mopped and maybe some surfaces were wiped down a bit. Walls, baseboards, washroom faucets were not cleaned and the shower curtain was stained. One of the two AC units was leaking as well as the fridge. The pillows were old and hard, like a sack of potatoes. First night it was difficult to sleep in such conditions. I understand that they can't offer anything better so I didn't even bother to ask. In general it felt like social housing building not a hotel or even a motel also, due to some people smoking in the hallway and the stairs. We spent 3 nights there. After the second night I asked a receptionist to get us more towels because it was 5 people and we got only 3 sets of towels and, to mop the floor because our toddler made some mess. So, we got it done before the noon. We had no time to sit and have a breakfast but we would come and grab some waffles and eggs, cereal and coffee. There were no meat choices available at all. Not even breakfast sausages.

The staff were fantastic, the food from the pizza/pub next door delicious, and the location ideal walking distance from many great restaurants. The hallways reek of smoke, there were people sitting in the parking lot all day and night, and the room maintenance has not been maintained so no level of cleaning (which was well attempted) could have made that room truly clean. The reviews were right, there’s a reason the room is significantly cheaper from others in the area.

I booked a suite hoping it might be a bit nicer than just a room.
The room was sparse and fairly clean, but done very economically with little appeal to the eye. The towel racks were rusted. The tub fixtures were very cloudy as if they didn't scrub them and the soap scum had built up.
We used this hotel because we had a pet and the pet fee was only $25 compared to the $75 they charge at other hotels. We have a 5lb dog that doesn't shed, so felt $75 was a bit steep.
We just slept here, so it was okay for one night.
We didn't get an opportunity to use the pool, but it seemed like it was busy. We stayed during a heatwave.

When searching for a place to anchor ourselves (2 adults and an Old English Sheepdog) we tried to keep costs down while still looking for a clean and comfortable resting place. We selected this hotel because we had been to Super8s before and appreciated the lack of carpeting and the reasonable price point. At check-in, I overheard the front desk tell someone the hotel was fully booked…I took that as a positive sign. The person who checked us in was super friendly; he explained about the free breakfast and switched us to a main floor room with a sliding door so that it would be more convenient for us. The lady who checked us out was also super friendly.

The actual room…I was disappointed. Although there was no carpeting, the room was ‘tired’, especially the bathroom. Black patches on the bathroom ceiling which were visible through a layer of white paint, a waffling wall behind the toilet which looked soaked even before a shower, peeling drywall, a toilet which did not always immediately refill after a flush, one ply toilet paper, rusted chrome towel racks, black hair that wasn’t ours, a dirty and malfunctioning sink faucet. Onto the rest of the room, the bedding was thin and dark. The top of the tv cabinet was dusty, as though not cleaned in months if not years. The baseboards, corners and floors had some accumulated hair and debris. The fridge, desk, office chair were all very worn out looking. The grime in the creases of the fridge was quite noticeable. Time for a remodel.

The hotel could easily pass for a motel and the pictures shared on their online page were much better than what you experience physically on ground. Their breakfast was horrible and not in the best shape. The swimming pool was also non-functional and the ambience needs to be kept cleaner and tidier. The amount charged for the facility is way too expensive for what they offer.

The complementary breakfast was either waffles or cereal and being gluten intolerant there was nothing I could eat and no breakfast place opened before 7am. Thank goodness there was a Starbucks nearby for a quick egg bite before being in a seminar all day. Overall it was meh, but probably wouldn’t stay again unless have to.

Check-in was uneventful. Room was on the 1st floor close to the lobby. It was relatively quiet. The room is dark and showed the main years of use and neglect. It's definitely nothing like the advertised picture. A coat of paint, new caulking, touchups - would go a long way. I'm not 100% sure but it looked like mold in the corner of the ceiling in the bathroom.

The room had a microwave, fridge and coffee maker. The bed was ok but the pillows were too thick. It was like +6\" high. Ended up not using the pillows.

Breakfast: just grabbed a yoghurt. Saw some hardboiled eggs, cereal and a waffle maker.

Would I stay here again? Only if no other choices.

If you must stay here make sure your room in in the south east corner. The rest of the hotel positively reeks of cigarettes. The first room we were given smelled so bad I had an asthma attack. The walls were banged up, looked like someone had taken a hammer to it. When checking the mattress there was all sorts of gross accumulated crud in the bed frame. Saw one person in the hallways with lit cigarette.

The only reason this review gets a slight bump from me is that the lady at the desk was extremely apologetic, and let me check all available rooms she had till we found f one that didn’t smell like an ashtray. S bit the cleanest, but at least we were able to bathe and sleep. So top notch customer service at the desk, the rest is outdated, dirty, and in the case of most of the rooms, smells and looks like the 1960’s.

Overall, for the price and type of hotel, this was a decent stay. The location was very convenient — just off the highway and close to restaurants, shopping, and everything we needed. The bed was comfortable, the shower had great pressure and hot water, and the microwave and fridge worked well. We also appreciated the main floor room with easy access to a grassy area for our dog, plus a green bin for waste bags. Continental breakfast was about what we expected.

Unfortunately, there were a few negatives. Our vehicle was vandalized in the parking lot during our stay. Thankfully it wasn’t broken into, but it was still upsetting.

Our room was also never serviced during our 3-night stay, although when I did find a housekeeper she was friendly and quickly provided towels upon request.

The biggest issue was the front desk staff. Our key cards repeatedly stopped working and every interaction about it came with attitude from multiple staff members, as though it was somehow our fault. We travel often and have never experienced ongoing key card issues like this before.

Overall, the hotel met our basic needs with decent sleep, good showers, fair pricing, and a convenient location, but customer service definitely needs improvement.

If you're looking for five-star luxury, this isn't it but if you need a reliable spot to crash after a night out or a quick place to stay while traveling, it definitely does the trick.
The staff is lovely and very welcoming, which makes a big difference. The rooms are basic but neat and tidy, and while the beds are actually quite comfortable, the pillows could definitely use an upgrade. Full disclosure: I’m the type of traveler who brings my own bedding anyway, so I was perfectly cozy!
The rooms do have a bit of an old-fashioned smell to them, but I found a quick hack: I clipped a linen scented car vent air freshener onto the heater/AC unit, and it cleared the air right up.
A huge highlight was the King Suite. It’s massive honestly felt more like a bachelor apartment than a hotel room. It comes with a full kitchenette, a full-size fridge, and Smart TVs, which is a nice modern touch for a budget friendly stay.
Bottom line: It’s nothing fancy, but it's clean, comfortable, and the extra space in the suites makes it a great value.

We had reserved for two nights but left after the first night. We found the rooms very dated, curtains were worn and the bed sheets had seen better days. We were on the first floor (by our request as we are older and stairs pose a bit of a problem) and we found there was quite a bit of noise in the halls. I also felt uncomfortable during the night as I thought I heard someone trying to access our patio door. I woke my husband and he checked outside but couldn’t see anything. The hotel cost was very reasonable and now I know why. I had read most of the reviews and none of the reviews reflected the shabbiness of the rooms. This hotel certainly needs a facelift!
