Seen a lot of not so good reviews for this place. This was not my experience at all. Good clean room for a very affordable price. Person working front desk (owner I believe) was very friendly and let me see the room before booking. We forgot an item at the hotel, owner called us up and even agreed to possibly meet us somewhere in lower mainland to return item. Good hotel at a good price, well run. You can’t ask for much more.

Manager was friendly and accommodating.
Price was fairly low compare to the rest of hotels in the area during Canada Day long weekend. Parking was available. AC was working ok. Shower and hot water was available. Toilet was leaning and almost falling. Fridge was newer. Front door lock was not working properly, needs a new lock.
BEDS WERE OLD AND DEFINITELY NEED UPGRADE! I HAD BED BUG BITES AFTER THAT NIGHT.
This place has some potential but needs a major facelift! It is extremely ran down!

It was decent for the price. The staff were polite and very accommodating. The remote for the tv didn’t work, but I’m sure they would have helped us with it if we asked. The air conditioner worked great, they could get newer mattress and pillows.

I am not a fussy person, but have to dig very deep to say anything good about this place. It is very old, run down, definitely not well maintained. No basic amenities such as free coffee, no bath mat, no little shampoos or bar soap, towels and bedding were very dingy. Cheaper than most, but would not pay $50, let alone $100 a night. I would not stay there agin.

A horrible night stay
First owner gave me a room without clean up from last tenant. After I complained, he gave me another room which has flies/other insects and water that is constantly dripping from the main switch.

Check in is supposed to be at 4pm The office was not open until 530pm. Electrical outlet had broken faceplates and large spider webs in bathroom. Beds are about 40 years old.
This place should not be represented by Expedia.
A full refund might not compensate.

Furniture was old & broken. Fridge was filthy, Bathtub & toilet were horrifying. Bedding was filthy. It had hair and dirt in sheets.
Floor was so dirty. There was broken glass from a crack pipe on the floor.
Owner couldn't understand why we ran away.

The property smelled like rotting / mould / hospitals.
The smell was so bad that it made you feel nauseated.
The room had stained sheets that looked so old they were crusty. Towels that we did not want to use. A broken shower, lamp and air conditioning and a filthy dirty floor.
My only positive was that the man was nice and that we could check in late and that we did not see any bugs (probably could not stand the smell either).
I am shocked that Expedia would sell such a poor quality motel.
We expected cheap, we did not expect to feel gross staying here.

You get what you pay for
Front desk were pretty rude... we arrived at almost 4pm and the room was not ready for another 30 mins even tho check in starts at noon. The beds were super uncomfortable and the window was left wide open so anyone could have gone into the room

If you are looking for an affordable place to stop for the night, this is perfect. We will be back for a place ti stay when passing through. The reviews had us worried but turned out to be way overblown. The road runner is aged and basic, but rather than blowing $100+ for a place to sleep , for $50 it has everything you need. Just keep your expectations in check and ignore all the other comments.

Disgusting !! Broken locks, rotting food in the fridge, no internet unless you're outside, just absolutely disgusting, I cannot believe that you actually have this hotel available on your website, I need to know how to get this place identified by Health Canada as uninhabitable.

Stayed here for one night on our way to Vancouver island. Rooms were very well priced and once we arrived we instantly knew why this was. There was 8 of us total which would end up making one person sleeping on the pullout couch. As soon as we pulled the couch out there was an excessive amount of dirt / dust on the bed sheet and not to mention the pair of underwear and computer mouse found underneath it. The overall cleanliness of this place was definitely not up to my satisfaction and I am an extremely easily pleased person when it comes to this. I would not recommend this place to anyone.
