North West Restaurant & Guesthouse

8/10 Good
"The property is clean, staff was helpful and the dining area was busy, lots of people eating good food. Now the reason I gave 4 stars is because this is a truck stop, literally drove right by the place because it does not look like a hotel. The noise from the trucks and the highway was alot until after 10pm. Also the room was cool when we got in so turned the heat up and it never got warmer. The bathroom is tiny! When you shower nothing in the bathroom comes out dry, even with the shower curtain nothing was safe. Expedia has it advertised as Breakfast for a fee, but after October the breakfast is not offered at all. Overall, if all you need is a cheap room,clean bed, shower, and convienent location, literally 50feet off the highway, this place really is great."
