Quieter than expected. Has long term stays so I wondered if it would be loud. Was quiet at a decent hour and stayed quiet. Rooms have minimal sounds proofing between.

The room was nice and clean, and had everything we needed for a reasonable price. It was quiet and the front room staff member was friendly. We would stay there again.

* Front desk guy was rude. * Shower is not working well. Very little water coming out of the shower head. * There should be hairdryer in the washroom * There should be mirror in the bedroom * Sofa in the living room is heavily stained and looks dirty.

We checked into our room, and found the bathroom was dirty but the rest of the room was clean. The locks on the door did not work which made us feel very unsafe. We ended up putting the iron board from the closet in front of our door just to feel a little better. The outlet in the bathroom was sticking out of the wall which was very unsafe and made it unusable. There was also only one thin blanket on top of the bed which made sleep uncomfortable. The parking lot was very tight which made our vehicle a little hard to get in/out of. Overall, we were not impressed and will not be returning.

Didn't appreciate the police knocking on our door at 2 in the morning because someone complained about a dog barking and loud music, we were sleeping. I know they had a job to do.

We stayed two nights. The area had an enormous amount of snow and there was only one guy working. So the parking lot was ridiculous but I’m assuming that’s because it was beyond their control. Seemed like every parking lot in town looked the same. The room was spotless and quite spacious. Quiet. Heat unit was great. Bathroom worked great. Nicely decorated. Would have given full marks if there was another blanket and a coffee maker in the room. The mattress was the best I’ve ever slept on away from home. Better than any large chain hotel or small hotel. We slept amazing.

Close to many amenities and far enough from loud cities. Walls are a bit thinner that you can hear the neighbours but property is pretty quiet.

The shower didn’t work good. The nozzle was loose and you have almost no water coming from the shower head. The water was leaking from the bath nozzle!!!

Checked into this place during the ice storm, we needed a place to shower and get to work. The "non-smoking" room had a stench of old tobacco and incense mixed together, being asthmatic, it was horrible!! The only heat source to the room was a space heater. In a state of disrepair wires hanging out the wall from an old telephone connection, a little closet without a bar to hang things up, and no hangers to do so. Miss matches chairs that are stained and worn. I checked out a day early, but wwasnt given a refund, because "it's past 1100" was the answer I received. I Holes in the wall, no place to hang clothes,
