If you need a place to crash, crash here. ##### Michael Stayed 1 night in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Hyejeong 20 Jul 2025 It was nice! ##### Hyejeong Stayed 1 night in Jul 2025 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Megan 5 Oct 2025 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities It was dirty and awful. The room smelled terrible. The bathroom wasn't clean and the floors had hair on them. Do not stay here. You would do better to sleep in your car. The shower was disgusting and the shower lever to turn on the shower was broken. The curtain was bad and there was no bath mat. The hotel itself was dirty and dusty. Wish we had never stayed here and wish we could have got our money back. AWFUL!!! ##### Megan Stayed 1 night in Oct 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Veronica 5 Aug 2025 Liked: Cleanliness Check in was quick. Room was clean but there is no fan in the washroom and the cleaning staff left behind the previous soap and shampoo. I didn’t need to use any cause I had my own but it was yucky to look at. It’s an apartment/motel building so there were a lot of people around. Not bothering anyone or noisy so it’s not a complaint. Just to be aware for people out of town. ##### Veronica Stayed 1 night in Aug 2025 ### 4/10 Poor #### Robert 16 Jul 2025 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Run down property. No one at desk. Hallway carpet dirty. Window air-conditioner only heated one room of suite. ##### Robert Stayed 1 night in Jul 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Adeline 7 Oct 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Yes. Exhaust fan not working in bathroom. Hallway and stairs carpet needs shampooing. ##### Adeline Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Mary 30 Sept 2025 Liked: Staff & service Disliked: Amenities Great for pet accomodation with green space but 3floor walk up so not great for accessibility. Staff were welcoming and friendly and beds were comfortable and clean. Toilet and sink were clean. Floors felt grimy, duct tape used for repairs in tub, door didn't latch consistently (had to double check the latch). Room and building generally run down. Room was a little apartment with kitchen which was nice to have space but did not have a coffee maker nor coffee cups. No garbage containers in room, toiletries were just 2tiny bars of soap. No hairdryer as pictured. Fighting heard late at night, many guests seemed to be struggling long term tenants. Noises were not from dogs but unhappy people. Price was much lower than other places and only place that will accommodate pets. We would likely not stay again as it did not feel safe and cleanliness could be improved. ##### Mary Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2025 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Mary 19 Sept 2025 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities This was a dirty, unsafe place that smelled heavily of smoke ##### Mary Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2025 ### 4/10 Poor #### Bruce 11 Sept 2025 Liked: Staff & service Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities The room was clean, but shabby. The rest of facility was dirty. Strong smells of weed being smoked. Scary people in yard. ##### Bruce Stayed 1 night in Sep 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Ronald 2 Sept 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities Room was fine. It met our needs and budget for pet friendly accommodation. The stove was extremely clean, likely because there were no pots or pans or bakeware. ##### Ronald Stayed 4 nights in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Adnam 1 Sept 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Clean room and staffs were awesome There is kitchen in the room. I could cook dinner for my kids! ##### Adnam Stayed 1 night in Aug 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### John 27 Aug 2025 Disliked: Property conditions & facilities I liked that the beds were in separate rooms and the beds were comfortable. Also, it was a full apartment if that’s what you are needing. We were just there for sleeping one night. The rooms were clean as well. Unfortunately there was quite a bit of noise in the hallway during the night and it echoed into our room. The property was all a bit rundown but we just needed a place to sleep without spending a fortune. You get what you pay for. ##### John Stayed 1 night in Aug 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Rodrigue 23 Aug 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities It is good. ##### Rodrigue Stayed 1 night in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Humaira 22 Aug 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Good location.
