Quieter than expected. Has long term stays so I wondered if it would be loud. Was quiet at a decent hour and stayed quiet. Rooms have minimal sounds proofing between.

Liked: Amenities
* Front desk guy was rude. * Shower is not working well. Very little water coming out of the shower head. * There should be hairdryer in the washroom * There should be mirror in the bedroom * Sofa in the living room is heavily stained and looks dirty.

Didn't appreciate the police knocking on our door at 2 in the morning because someone complained about a dog barking and loud music, we were sleeping. I know they had a job to do.

We stayed two nights. The area had an enormous amount of snow and there was only one guy working. So the parking lot was ridiculous but I’m assuming that’s because it was beyond their control. Seemed like every parking lot in town looked the same. The room was spotless and quite spacious. Quiet. Heat unit was great. Bathroom worked great. Nicely decorated. Would have given full marks if there was another blanket and a coffee maker in the room. The mattress was the best I’ve ever slept on away from home. Better than any large chain hotel or small hotel. We slept amazing.

Close to many amenities and far enough from loud cities. Walls are a bit thinner that you can hear the neighbours but property is pretty quiet.

Checked into this place during the ice storm, we needed a place to shower and get to work. The "non-smoking" room had a stench of old tobacco and incense mixed together, being asthmatic, it was horrible!! The only heat source to the room was a space heater. In a state of disrepair wires hanging out the wall from an old telephone connection, a little closet without a bar to hang things up, and no hangers to do so. Miss matches chairs that are stained and worn. I checked out a day early, but wwasnt given a refund, because "it's past 1100" was the answer I received. I Holes in the wall, no place to hang clothes,
