The person at the front desk was not very friendly especially when told we had two dogs. If you have an issue then don't be a pet friendly establishment. There was hair around the tub area, not ok.

Overall good cheap property to stay at for a few nights. The biggest problem was the loud open exhaust motorcycles speeding by the hotel at all hours of the day and night on Terminal Ave North.

It was a very clean and upgraded room. Beds are comfortable and motel is walking distance to downtown. Some improvements: providing some herbal teas and decaf coffee for those who do not use caffeine. One box of kleenex (tissue) per room.

I have been to this hotel a number of times but was not super happy this time as the heat was not turned on in the room when I arrived. Was very cold and took a good hour to heat up. I think this is unacceptable for a hotel but I’ll give them the benefit of the doubt this time.
