"The outside appearance of the motel was dated, but the rooms were wonderful, and the beds were very comfortable. The price was reasonable, and the close access to the airport was very convenient. The real plus of the stay was the restaurant adjacent to the hotel. Susho Wara was definitely 5 stars, with a great selection and some of the best sushi I have had in Canada."
