Our stay here was so nice and convenient. Perfect if you are visiting the Fortress. It is right in town and it is nice to walk around the town. We appreciated the microwave and fridge in the room. Only thing missing was breakfast. There didn't seem to be much available in the town for breakfast. Beds were comfy. I would stay here again.

Staff was very nice and helpful! My only thing was that the room didn’t feel well ventilated. After showers, everything stayed damp. My book and passport curled when I left them out and towels wouldn’t stay dry. For that reason, I give a solid 3/5.

Older property. Travelling solo and felt safe. Room smelled of febreeze, turned off a/c and smell went away. Location was perfect, which is why I chose it!

It’s what you’d expect for the price point! The room itself was clean, including the towels and bedding. There was obvious signs of mold in the washroom though. Staff was friendly and the stay was good overall.

It was a convenient location. Room was very outdated and could use a good cleaning. Dust bunnies everywhere and on baseboards etc. Again it was convenient and beds were clean.

For the love of god, please dont sleep there! Bathroom ceiling was COVERED in mold. All around the bathroom fan that was useless and on the wall over the toilet. How can you not see this when you clean the room? The AC was the oldest noisiest thing I have ever seen. Barely working as well and it was not particularly hot. The the motel surrounds the parking lot and people tend to smoke and drink outside like if it was a campground. Even past 10pm. I was there with my 2 little kids and I had to ask a few times to please quiet down. The whole town in general is pretty run down but this motel is VERY VERY bad and I had my fair share of cheap motels, although this one was not the cheapest at all. The staff tried to be friendly when we checked in. Smiling and all, I have to give them that. But for the rest, it's just not worth it. AVOID AT ALL COST!!!

A good basic motel, but at this time of year, without dinner or breakfast. The Salty Girls diner, 15 minites walk away provided an evening meal. Breakfast was someway back up the highway.
