Excellent in every way! The check-in time of 2pm beneficial and staff very friendly. The room was exceptional - very clean, comfortable beds (always my concern!) and clearly updated. Highly recommend!!

I’m a Marriott girl. But all hotels in London were sold out due to Convocations at Western. So we took a chance here. We were very happy with our choice!
This motel is not fancy, but it is clean, well taken care of and fairly priced. Beds were in good shape. Very easy to find. Management are friendly, they even waited for us to arrive after hours as we were stuck in traffic.

This motel is lovely! They’ve clearly put a lot of work into maintenance with all new windows and doors and bathrooms. The groundskeeper, Ian, learned our names at check in and remembered them for our entire stay. The property is super pretty and well cared for. Definitely worth the visit!

My only problem with this motel was that I had trouble getting enough heat from the in-room heater during the night.
