This is a bit of an older motel, Needs a little sprucing up in some areas however the room was clean, staff friendly and helpful, and I received a free upgrade because I was a later check in and there was a king bed room available. For an inexpensive stay near McMaster that was well lit, safe, and quiet, it was just right.
