Pleasant - 3.0 out of 5

Jeannie Sun, 17 August 2025

Unfortunate disappointment for the cost!

Liked: It was a perfect distance from the ball fields, where my granddaughter was playing;and also not far from the Falls, which I was able to enjoy.
Disliked: When first entering my room, there was a terrible odor, as I have a sensitive sense of smell. I notified the desk Manager, and he provided me with some air freshener. However, when I went to adjust the curtains, they were corroded with bird feces! I contacted someone from the cleaning and showed it to her, which in turn showed it to the manager.Fortunately, he was able to provide me with another room a couple doors down!Ultimately, I gave the first room the lowest score, but the second room was very satisfactory.

Superb

Liked: The rest was pretty good I slept well there, until I heard some loud music in the afternoon because I worked all night and slept from 7am to about 1pm.Not bad for me. I enjoyed talking to the front desk guy. I need to find good rest stops like these to be able to work 12 hour shifts at night.
Disliked: The toilet was pretty old and slow. That's the worst thing about the room. Other than that it was fine
