    Good stay but some tweaking would be good.

    The floor felt dirty under bare feet, probably because the car park is not sealed and it was easy to bring dirt into the room. The water pressure in the shower and hand basin at night was very low and a shower took twice as long as normal. The pressure seemed to be better in the morning so I wonder if it drops from multiple simultaneous users. The floor seemed to be lifting in one spot near the bed. We had to remake both beds as the sheet and blanket folded edge was about 300mm from the pillows and would only have covered your tummy. The space and layout in the room was poorly thought out and a bit of shifting of furniture would improve the space much better. For example a tall 3 drawer cupboard could be replaced with a writing desk which would be more functional. Having 5 drawers in the room is overkill as most customers would stay overnight and probably not unpack.

    The beds were comfortable. The room was clean with exception of the floor. The receptionist was very friendly and helpful. Despite being on a major road, the noise in the room was quiet, providing a good sleep.

    The room was small, spotlessly clean, renovated. Perfect for a night or two - very convenient - right on the highway. E

    The water pressure is very weak. This was our second time staying and both times we experienced this. The use of an extension cord in the room for the fridge and microwave is concerning. There is no surge protector it looks to be a very simple dollar store cord.

    The location was great for our event at Garden River First Nation. The room was clean, newly renovated bathroom and fridge with a freezer. Parking at the door is very handy.

    If you're a light sleeper, this isn't the place for you. There was next to no sound proofing through the walls. So not only do you hear nearly every word of conversations held outside, but you also get the noise from all the traffic passing on the highway that's right there. Not sure about the other rooms, but mine had the shower shelves installed upside down, rendering them non-functional as the ones they'd installed had slanted bottoms.

    It's about what you'd expect to get for the price. A room with a lock, clean beds, a table, tv, and bathroom. Nothing really stood out as excellent. Overall, it was a good room. It was easy to relax here after a long day at work.

    The room lacked a desk to work at which wasn't great as I was travelling for work and often like to get some work done in the evenings. The parking is also awkward to get out of on a busy road with poor visibility.

    The room was very comfortable and would be great for families visiting or passing through. The room had a comfortable sofa and great facilities for food (microwave, fridge/freezer, plenty of space)

    Shower took 5 minutes to give hot water and the pressure wash terrible. Light cover on the ceiling above the bed fell off when I was in the shower.

    Location was great. It was very quiet. I slept great. Bathroom was newer and modern.
