Oh, dear motel reviewer, it seems like you stumbled upon the Motel of Mysterious Misadventures! While you may have encountered some quirks and surprises, we like to think of it as our way of keeping life exciting. Sure, the light switch may have played hide-and-seek, and the shower had a unique temperature preference, but hey, we believe in providing you with a memorable stay. Who needs consistency when you can have an adventure, right? Remember, not all heroes wear capes; some of them run motels with a sense of humor! We appreciate your feedback, and we'll work on refining our quirks for your next visit. Until then, keep your sense of adventure alive!

Hello Jason,Oh my stars and garters! Your review has us grinning from ear to ear like a bunch of emoji enthusiasts on a caffeine high! We're so thrilled to hear that you had a positively epic stay at our humble abode.Frankly, we're wondering if we should hire you as our official Motel Review Maestro. Your words were like a warm blanket of kindness on a chilly night, or like finding an extra French fry at the bottom of the fast-food bag – pure joy!It's heartwarming to know that our cozy corners and fluffy pillows provided you with the ultimate cuddly haven. And those complimentary mints? Well, they've been practicing their curtsies in preparation for your next visit!As you can probably tell, your happiness is our secret potion for success. We've even started a motivational dance-off in the break room to keep the good vibes flowing. Let's just say our rendition of the "Motel Mambo" might not win us any talent show trophies, but it's a certified mood lifter!We can't wait to have you back and create more unforgettable memories together. Until then, keep shining brighter than the neon lights on our sign and keep rocking that positivity like a pro.Sending you virtual high-fives and enough good vibes to power a rocket to the moon (or at least to the nearest space-themed mini golf course)!Warmest regards,The "We're Blushing!"

Do not stay it is a fire hazard. The air conditioner would trip out every five minutes. It was too small for the room. It was plugged into an outside electrical outlet. If your vacation includes staying in a skid row motel stay here. Road noise was horrible. There is a lot of jerry rigging repairs and renovations that would not pass building code in Canada. The shelves and cupboards across the ajoining room door is one.

Greetings from the management team! We hope this message finds you well, and we sincerely appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts about your recent stay with us. As they say, all feedback is a gift, and well, we can't resist unwrapping it with a sense of humor! First and foremost, we want to extend our sincerest apologies for any inconveniences you encountered during your stay. We assure you, it wasn't a covert operation to test your detective skills, nor was it a social experiment to challenge your patience – we are truly sorry for any shortcomings you experienced.While we may not have reached the level of "luxury" that even the Queen's corgis are accustomed to, we do take every guest's feedback seriously. We will be investigating why the hot water seemed to take an impromptu vacation during your visit. Rest assured, our maintenance team will be on their toes, armed with their best Sherlock Holmes cap, to unravel this mystery!As for the "suspenseful" Wi-Fi, we apologize for putting you through a digital treasure hunt. Apparently, our Wi-Fi router was feeling rebellious and decided to play hide-and-seek. We've now equipped it with a tracking device and reassured it that it's no longer participating in the Wi-Fi Olympics.Now, let's talk about our signature bed - oh yes, the one that gave you the spine-tingling experience of a medieval torture device! Fear not, we have taken this bed to a secret lab where it will undergo an intense transformation and emerge as a cloud-like oasis of comfort. Trust us, it's going to be so cozy you'll feel like you're sleeping on a marshmallow (without the stickiness, of course).Regarding the "entertainment" from your neighbors, we agree, sometimes it feels like we're hosting a talent show of enthusiastic nocturnal performers. We're planning to introduce our very own soundproofing solutions, complete with invisible earplugs, so you can have the peaceful retreat you deserve.We're glad you found our complimentary breakfast both thrilling and adventurous! We confess, it was a risky decision to challenge the culinary status quo, but fear not, we'll be sticking to the classics from now on – no more "mystery muffins" or "surprise sausages."We can't thank you enough for your witty and candid review, which brought smiles to our faces and reminded us that even in challenging moments, humor is the best companion. We genuinely appreciate your understanding and taking it all in stride!Should you ever decide to embark on another daring expedition to our humble abode, we assure you, we'll go above and beyond to give you a stay that's nothing short of legendary. In the meantime, please accept our heartfelt gratitude for your valuable feedback.Wishing you unforgettable adventures and memorable motel experiences in your future travels!Warmest Regards,

Very average and over priced for what it is. Definitely needs some updating. No blackout on any windows, a/c couldn’t keep up. Mattresses need updating, you could feel every spring.
