Cameron

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
Overall experience was good. Convenient clean and efficient for the price. Definitely on the cleaner side compared to other motels. Shops and convenience stores are within walking distance. The walls are quite thin and the motel is directly next to a main road so if you are sensitive to sound or have kids, be aware... Even though I stayed in a room furthest from the road, the sound of traffic still carried in pretty loud.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
This place is more like a short stay for prostitutes, dirty, and rundown. I had ants in the room facilities, old, dirty, and tired. I would recommend you remove this from your site.

Comfortable bed

The room was clean and the bed was quite comfortable. It is a bit dated, and could use a bit of paint and sprucing up. Our room had only a blind on the window, so it was pretty bright overnight. I slept well and that was the purpose of ghe room. It was easy to get to and close to my final destination. Plenty of places to get food nearby. Friendly staff and cheap rate

Nice place with a great staff

The staff is very friendly and helpful. The rooms clean and have clearly been updated recently. We did find a lot of light in the room from outside that was difficult to block, but we still enjoyed staying there and would happily go back.
