Room looked nothing like the pictures. All the rooms are on the second floor and there isn't an elevator. Great that they have breakfast, if you wait until they serve it at 7. I had to eat on the road because I left at 6.

The building itself is a little dated and the beds aren’t the comfiest but the amazing staff made up for it. So accommodating and welcoming. Would absolutely stay there again for that reason! The staff went out of their way to ensure we enjoyed our one night stay.

Staff are great and it’s clean. It’s good if you’re a solid sleeper and can sleep through heat, noise and through discomfort. The kitchenette had a mini fridge, stove top and microwave which was great. The continental breakfast was decent but the only protein source is peanut butter and maybe some from the yogurt. It had toast, bagels, cereal, yogurt, milk, pancakes, waffles, juice and apples. Rooms are hot and need AC to be comfortable, the AC is incredibly loud. My sleep was poor because of the loud AC, and uncomfortable bed, and the pillows were super lumpy - luckily we got different ones.

This is the perfect motel when passing through Grande Cache. Good mattresses, pillows and toiletries. It is not deluxe and we skipped the meagre continental breakfast. We appreciated value and would stay there again.

This is our second time staying here and both times the lady at the desk said she wasn’t able to give us keys and had to let us in the room. This just seems very off and unsafe for us to not have access to our room. Also be aware that if you’re traveling with pets they put you on the top floor without an elevator and in the older rooms.
