Great location close to public transit
One good quality about this motel is its convenient location for transit, immediate needs, and sightseeing. You don't have to go far to explore popular cultural spots, or to find cycling and walking trails. You also don't have to completely rely upon a car to get everywhere.

Negative Reviews
negative:
Staff is rude and unfriendly
Guests aren't too pleased with how the staff treat them. Customer service is poor, with staff not overtly friendly or approachable, and seemingly of little to no assistance with anything during one's stay. They have also been reported as being difficult if you need to dispute charges.
negative:
Rooms are filthy and bathrooms have mould
Even though you may not expect much from budget accommodations, this place disappoints on a much greater level because of the condition of the rooms. Everything from unclean beds and furniture and stained towels and linens, to dirt, grime, dust, and trash are clearly noticeable upon check-in. The bathrooms are also dirty, bearing signs of previous use, and indications of mould.
negative:
Strong smells of cigarette smoke
A common complaint is the strong lingering odour of cigarette smoke that permeates the rooms. Be careful of this if you are sensitive to it, since it doesn't seem to go away so quickly or easily.
