Quiet and comfortable

Cute little place. Quiet and comfortable. Lots of selection on the TV with channels and streaming services. Breakfast was nice - croissants, fresh fruit, cereal. As someone who doesn’t drink coffee or tea I would’ve loved some fresh juice but I know I’m in the minority there. Overall, I really enjoyed my stay and would gladly return in the future.

Great place to stay

Upon walking in, I thought the room was amazing! It was the cleanest motel I think I have stayed in. I thought this room was one of the renovated, until I saw the peeling paint by the heater or AC. But, it was no big deal. The shower curtain could have been a couple inches longer because upon completion of my shower, there was a lake on the floor. My friend uses a cane so I wiped up with one of the towels. The cleaners were friendly as well. I felt the room was quiet, Room 8.

The motel was spotless and newly renovated. The person at the front desk was very friendly and helpful. The bed was very comfortable. And the price was excellent. Have already recommended the place to friends.

Location is convenient - on edge of Hamilton; staff were not friendly: I was called the night before my arrival and asked "are you going to cancel your reservation?" when i checked in, the woman behind the counter said "oh yeah, i called you to ask if you were going to cancel" it seems like this is a property in transition - trying to clean it up and do repair work throughout; maybe it offers hope on the future here
