Guest reviews
What travelers say
A snapshot of guest ratings and stories behind the stay.
“We stayed in one of the family rooms in July 2021. It is nice, quiet, reasonably priced place. The family room had two bedrooms and a large main room with a pullout couch. The kitchen was basic but covered our needs. The wifi was strong everywhere and the the air condition was strong in all rooms. The staff were friendly and helpful. The food in the attached restaurant (Dmitri's?) was good. (We had pizza and the fried chicken.) There is a Save-On-Foods a few blocks away for groceries. I would stay here again.”
“Good place to stay the night at! We got there late after the check in time ended and one of the staff came to let us in which was so nice, we had no idea we needed to be there before 10pm - we booked through booking.com and it doesn’t mention it, so just be aware! Room was clean, beds were comfy, shower had decent water pressure, there was a little kitchenette in the room too, it was a good place for the price!”
