Absolutely Incredible service. Room was super clean, cozy and beds were comfortable. Extremely good value for the price. We loved the convenience of it being so close to the US border, as we were using this as a stopover on our trip home from the US. We will definitely be staying here again, and will be highly recommending it.

everything was clean and comfortable. I would suggest they add hooks or shelves in the bathroom. No place to hang clothes while showering. Nice little vanity to put something under the sink, but not much room on the top. No hairdryer either....but would definitely return and recommend them. Wonderful owners

Low water pressure in the room. No hot water on one night of our stay. We were in town on a work trip, when we finished up our project earlier then expected and wanted to check out earlier then expected the owner didn’t want to refund us for the nights we weren't going to be there which he as already changed us for, instead he wants to give us a credit for the next time we may be in the area. He did give us a refund after arguing with him for some time but it wasn't for the full amount. If your going to check into this motel do it one night at a time and just keep extending as needed.

We are sorry to hear that you've experienced a discomfort using our motel.For the hot water issue, please accept our apologies that we were not aware, and this problem is now fixed.About the refund issue, we would like to mention that we have followed our cancellation policy ;less than 2 days prior to arrival, all cancellations are charged the full cost of stay.This policy was shared with you on March 28th, 2024 with the confirm your reservation, and this is why we indicated "Please read carefully our cancellation policy" at the end of confirmation.Despite this policy, even if you requested a refund the day you left, we gave a refund for the two days you did not stay.To clarify the reason why not the full amount was not refunded, However, your reservation was not made directly through our website or over the phone, but via Expedia.If you check the Expedia website, it also indicates the amount is fully refundable only when cancelled two days before.Since our motel had to pay a commission to Expedia even for the two days you did not stay, so we deducted that amount and refunded you.Please consider this refund was made due to this reason.Nevertheless, we feel sorry to have come across this review. We hope that we can serve you better if you visit us again.Thank you.

Clean. Working fridge and microwave. Working TV. Bathroom clean. Loved the fact that there are no carpets - floor very clean. Two very comfortable beds. Coffee in the office in the morning was appreciated. Bathroom is a bit small. Could also use a few more clothes hangers - I had brought some with me. And it would be wonderful if small pets were allowed inside, if they stayed in their own crates. Our 15-year-old cat had to stay in our car overnight. But the weather was fairly warm, so he was OK. Overall, we enjoyed our stay.

Very basic needs covered. Cheap place to stay when just need a place to sleep for the night. Very friendly owner. Obvious problem going on with the water. Informed on arrival something wrong with water softener that would be fixed the next day and not to drink water. Was gone most of second day and upon getting up 2nd morning, there was no water at all. Not sure what happened. Also noticed carpets need a very good cleaning. Overall, this place will cover your basic needs for a place to sleep for the night at a reasonable price. No extras involved such a coffee in room or such.

Hi,We used drilled well. We experienced trouble once or twice a year. The water softener equipped with the latest dual filter was replaced a year and half ago to provide good quality water to customers. The electricity went out twice last Tuesday and we thought it causes damage to the the water softener. So one day the water condition was bad and the technician checked and went, but this morning there was no water for about an hour and a half. The plumber and technician came and checked again, and as a result, it was confirmed that both filters didn't work due to a sensor error in one of the two filters. Defective parts have been replaced. Now working fine. Anyway, we're terribly sorry for inconvenience. Thank you.

We specifically booked the location because it was listed as pet friendly. On checking in they told that wasn't true, but we could stay for another $23. I felt like I'd been had.

I don't know reason why our motel is pet friendly ?I think previous owner was pet friendly.Officially, we don't allow pets. But we have one room for customer with pet for just in case. At every reservation, we inform and send a message that "we do not allow pets". Nevertheless, there are occasional guests who bring their pets. Or should we send the customers away late at night ?The fee is charged because it requires so much labor.Thank you.

Room was clean, and quiet. Parking right outside room, convenient. Stated they had wifi, however our room was at the end of the motel which may be why we couldnt connect. The beds were ok, great cheap place to sleep on the way through while travelling!
