I basically ignored the negative reviews and hoped for the best and was quite satisfied with my stay. If you're looking for a 5 star hotel in the lap of luxury this is not the place for you. It is however, an affordable motel with a comfortable bed, AC, clean bathroom, working tv and is located about 3 miles from the Falls and in close access to restaurants and shopping. My room also had a refrigerator and microwave which were quite useful. The service was extremely good since the manager seems to be an all around great guy.

First off, I don't know what part has been renovated but it definitely wasn't noticable. When we got there to check in, you had to buzz to even have the lobby door opened ( at 3:00 in the afternoon), the key that was given us did not work in the door, when we finally got in there was a strong odor of goo gone or something similar, no fridge, no microwave, no iron, cover off the thermostat, stains on the wall, bathroom was disgusting, decided to shower right away and tub overflowed while showering, cigarette butt in radiator vent which was broken. No towels, had to go get management three times in first half hour. Finally moved to new room where it reeked of cigarette smoke, holes in bedspread, stains on pillowcases and sheets. We had to ask six times for extra pillows and did not receive till 2nd night. There were other problems but I think you get the point. Definately will not stay there again!!!

Wow.. all rooms smell like Smoke chamber.
Even their cleaners are smoking during their cleaning.

Every thing was broken, tab water does not work.
Carpets are very dirty. Tv remotes do not work. Internet did not work.

What surprises me the most was, how these motels are approved from Health inspectors. I thought, usa was not a third world country.

if you perfer to live at a ghetto place OR you are looking for a dirty hole just to hide yourself for the night or you can not afford any other thing , then this is the right place for you.

First, i want to move immediately But i was too tired to move somewhere else at 2AM after too much driving.

I complained the problems but soon realized, manager was originally from pakistan & just keep on saying Yes, Yes, & does nothing to your complain.

Guys, there are thousand of motels on this road (62). This motel experience makes me feel so bad, even i do not feel booking anymore on internet unless & until i have seen the place.

  • Liked — dirty smoking chamber hole
  • Disliked — Never trust, what asian motel managers says on the phone.

we booked a 2 room family suite (lol!)with 3 beds for my family of four a month ahead, and received confirmation on the type of accommodation that we booked. When we got there, the manager told us that he only had one room for us with 2 beds, and to take it or leave it. It was Black Friday and he claimed that he could easily sell our room for double the price. Having driven all the way from Toronto, we had no other choice.
The motel looked nothing like the pictures on the website. The room was the dingiest, filthiest hole we had ever been into. The toilet didn't flush, the towels smelled, and worst of all, there was no heat!!!. Fortunately for us, the 2 heater units which we bought from Target came in very handy. 2 thumbs up for those heaters, but I wouldn't go back to the motel even if my life depended on it.

you want a real dirt cheap place and can't find ANY OTHER hotel. Me and my family had a really bad experience. The place was so filthy and smelling, I wouldn't stay there for free.
