nice place for a great price.
Clean, updated room. Excellent stay but for the heater. Heat was fine, but there was no way to put on the fan full time so was sort of annoying as the heat and fan coming on and off all night made it difficult to fall asleep. Would have been great if the fan ran even at low speed all the time.

Last minute booking success story
Night 3 of a cross country drive from Vt to BC. Great price and location, was Sunday morning so quiet. Weekday would have city traffic noise I’d assume. Clean comfortable and easy access

Great location, great staff and great price. The place was really clean and the beds are comfortable. The building is a little bit old and the pictures are a little bit misleading. Overall really happy with my stay.
