Pros

Complimentary BBQ facility for guest use

Walking distance to multiple restaurants including Tim Hortons, KFC, and Denny's

Close proximity to cultural attractions like TCU Place and Wanuskewin Heritage Park

Weekly rates available for extended stays

Cons

3 miles distance from downtown requires transportation

Exterior corridor access to rooms may be less convenient in winter

“In my opinion, the budget-conscious traveler might find the price appealing, but be prepared for basic accommodations. Based on my findings, some rooms present cleanliness issues, and amenities may be limited, with reports of malfunctioning TVs and air conditioning. Ultimately, the friendly staff seems to be the most consistent positive aspect mentioned.”
