This was legitimately the most disgusting place I have ever stayed. Everything was dirty, the toilet was taped together, and the bedding had tons are hard crusty spots.
Crunchy spot on the comforter. There were multiple.

This hotel is ok for a quick stopover. We could see daylight around the door so it is not very soundproof and combined with traffic it was noisy. Room was small…barely room for our luggage. Hotel is just alright.

Definitely a 2 star hotel. Don't take your shoes off. There was once a peep hole in the door, now there's just a hole. Door felt secure other than that. The tap in the shower moves freely, pretty sure that's not supposed to happen, shower still works but water pours out the tap at the same time but what do I care, I'm not paying the water bill. Outside smelled like a carnival but maybe that's just Nanaimo or BC, I'm not from here. It really wasn't as cheap as it could've been for all this!
