We ended up having to stay an extra two days because of a family emergency and everyone here was very understanding and accommodating. We would definitely stay here again. The cleanest motel we’ve ever stayed in

Our room seemed to have updated features such as the AC, beds, chargers, etc. Very well kept. Legends restaurant was just down the road and Port Stanley was a simple 20 minutes away. Will stay here again if need be.

I’m a Marriott girl. But all hotels in London were sold out due to Convocations at Western. So we took a chance here. We were very happy with our choice!
This motel is not fancy, but it is clean, well taken care of and fairly priced. Beds were in good shape. Very easy to find. Management are friendly, they even waited for us to arrive after hours as we were stuck in traffic.
