Clean rooms, friendly and extremely helpful. They went above and beyond to make our stay enjoyable. Will be going back there again.
Staff was very accommodating. Clean, spacious and renovated rooms. Great price, and it's right next door to Tim Hortons. Wifi is fast and the atmosphere is good. Will be back again!
The room was comfortable and clean. We couldn't locate the thermostat so it was a bit cool. The sign for $35 a night is only if you stay for a week. The regular room rates are $50 a night plus tax for one bed and $60 plus tax for 2 beds. Prices are good! The rooms don't provide ashtrays. We wanted to use the Wi-Fi but didn't feel like bothering the lady again. The rooms should have the Wi-Fiand password posted or provided with the key. Other than that it was a good place to stay. I would return again.
Quiet rooms, fast wifi, appeared clean but had to ask for fresh towels and were told there's a limit. The owner seems nice. Nice staff.
I stayed in room 15. The room appears to be newly renovated. Very clean large room. The owners are amazing! Super friendly and will do anything they can to make your stay comfortable. I mentioned to the owner I was skeptical because of the reviews of the place being dirty. The owner grabbed some keys and said I'll show you many rooms to prove it's clean which boosted my confidence that this place is clean. Had 0 issues here besides maybe put some black out curtains on windows as they don't stop much light. Overall I would come back.
Here for work. Not the best but not the worst either. They do what they can to make sure your happy. Check-in is easy. Staff is amazing. Second week here. Will probably just come back if I'm working out here again.
We always stay at Willie's because Mr Lee & his wife & Staff are very friendly & Mr accommodating Bedding is always clean the staff is friendly & accommodating as well.They have Always made our stays Welcoming & Comfortable Thankyou Mr Lee & Wife Sincerely Christine & William Cobb
Willie's is clean, the owners are friendly and keep you safe, they are respectful and expect the same . I feel at home here. The managers are on site and part of the community. There is 24 hour security, a pop machine, an ice machine, wifi, cable, microwaves and fridges, also really big bathtubs... like cast iron old school full size bathtubs.... they don't make em" like that anymore....
