This might be the oldest, most crumbling, falling apart motel I’ve ever stayed at. The bed and bathroom were surprisingly clean and the man at the front desk was very friendly, but wow, the place is in rough shape. Paint peeling from the walls, stained furniture, sagging mattress, dust and dirt. Fine location for getting on and off the transcanada hwy, and certainly wouldn’t choose to stay here for anything other than a quick nights sleep.

Everything work but it needs updates like wall paint or newer bedding. There was a lot of people coming and going from a few rooms which was questionable.

Outdated, burnt out light bulb, loose electrical outlet. Friendly staff when they were available. Despite this, it is a place to lay your head for the night.

The host was very friendly , nice and easy to deal with. The property location is easy to find and haze the parking right in front of the door. Checking in was easy-peasy as Sam can handle it oven if he is not on the premises.
