Quick Take: It's a dated, noisy budget motel that delivers on cheap thrills for kids but frequently drops the ball on cleanliness and peace.
Reviewed by @jjoyw3: My stay here was exactly what I needed for my West Edmonton Mall trip. Waking up to a huge free breakfast spread and grabbing a coffee to-go made the mornings so easy. The room was super clean and the perfect place to crash after a long day of shopping.
