It was fine for what we needed, a safe place to sleep, as we were out and about every day. Excellent free parking, owners very accomodating, providing extra coffee, shampoos, toilet paper etc when we asked. I loved having the seaview balcony to sit on with my coffee Pillows were too soft for me, otherwise bed was comfortable. Just a small average fairly priced motel, would probably stay again when Im in town

The pros: The property owners are very kind and they keep the hotel super clean. The cons: The rooms are dated and the hotel is right on the highway so you hear all the noise and unfortunately, it would be hard to sleep if you left the window open.

Great Location

Motel was dated but adequate for my intended purpose. It was noisy as it is right beside the Trans Canada, and the garbage truck made its rounds at 6:00am. There is not much soundproofing, but is walking distance to most amenities.
