We would stay again!

Like it’s advertised, a no frills hotel and the price was right. It was clean, quiet & convenient. Walking Distance to the Savemart Center where we were going for a concert. No coffee, and no closet. We would stay there again.

The only positive thing I can truly say that it was convenient for the save mart center. They had absolutely no toiletries, had to go ask for everything at the front desk. The staff aside from the cleaning lady were mean.

Very noisy at night. The window has no insolation. I can hear the wind, the cars outside all night. The shower room doesn't even have something to hang a towel. No place to hang clothes.
