What Guests Loved
Based on 456 reviews
Pros +
- As usual , staff very friendly and helpful
- It was ok, definitely cold. Probably wouldn’t stay in that same apartment again.
- Easy check in, very nice owner/manager. Parking right outside door, very large open living/dining/kitchen. Although not there long (just overnight, passing through), would have been a nice property for a longer stay. Had everything needed.
Cons -
- Everything was great except the light outside the bedroom window kept turning on and off all night
- Main bed was too hard. The apartment we had was too cold you could feel the freezing cold come through the windows. The apartment we had was old compared to all the other apartments we’ve had in the past.
- The high dining table with stools was not ideal - the stools were quite saggy. A minor point.

Spacious and clean room with everything you need. The bathroom was superb with the best shower I've experienced in a motel. Location is very convenient to the centre of town and beautiful Queens Gardens.

Great location, amazing people. Spacious and lovely accommodation. Really clean and everything you could need full kitchen facilities separate bathroom and toilet. Layout was like a one bedroom flat, very warm and cozy. Used laundry while there and was great.
Friendly staff, immaculately clean, large rooms and great heating. Everything we needed for a comfortable stay.
Nothing, it was great.
Peaceful quiet neighborhood near Queens Park. Roomy two-bedroom apartment.
Location, cleanliness and friendliness of the staff. Would stay again.
The place was clean, warm, spacious and it had everything that we need it. It was really lovely. We will definitely stay here again.
how warm it was on arrival and the friendly service and late check in flexibility
This place was absolutely amazing! Super clean, warm, cozy and had everything we needed.
There is nothing to complain about whatsoever!
Some of the friendliest and most helpful staff I have ever met at a motel! The rooms have been recently renovated. The beds were good, it's also on a quiet street yet quite close to the city centre. It's fantastic! I highly recommend staying here :)
This motel unit is large with a full kitchen and comfy king bed. It is very well located in a very pleasant area.
We were advised that the unit we were in is to be updated soon and it needs it. The decor is tired generally and the bathroom is to a 1970s design.
Friendly staff. Great space with separate bedroom. Kitchen and cooking facilities. Great location just out of the city.
Very large spacious unit, hostess was lovely. Unit bathroom needed upgrading which the host said was planned for.
Comfortable room well located and reasonably priced.
Nothing much.
Comfortable, clean, beautifully appointed bathroom, Netflix, very pleasant lady at reception.
The little 3-bedroom unit was clean and had everything we needed. The location is excellent just a straight drive to town center for dinner.
There were no faults.
Staff were amazing, facilities were fine and comfortable enough, very very quiet
Unit was quite dated and could have been cleaner, main areas were clean but the doors, walls and carpets were a bit grubby
Location fine, and older motel but adequate for one night stay.
Nothing untoward, just a bit older .
