Motel vieillissant , mais très propre

Motel figé dans le temps par ses meubles et literies. Pas d’air climatisé, un ventilateur est fourni dans la chambre. Chambre très propre et lit confortable. Très bon prix pour la région en ce temps de vacances

I had a really terrible experience with this motel. I was able to “check in”, even though there is no staff on site. This is where the problems really began. Since there is no staff on site, if you have an issue, you are going to have an even bigger issue getting it resolved. The toilet in my room had its chain disconnected, and to fix that, you had to know how toilets work and stick your hand in a tank of dank black mold tainted water. Staff were unresponsive to multiple texts and calls. Avoid this motel at all costs.

The property was spacious for our family. It was deathly hot as they do not have any air conditioning and it was 30 plus humidex. Despite that we enjoyed our stay. It was very 1980 ish retro style. Overall a nice stay but definitely could use new furnishings and a good reno. Bring towels as they do not provide them.

I stayed up all night because of the terribly mold smell of the room. No air conditioning and a small fan. I keep the fan on all night tried to get the mold smell away. However despite of the fan and essential oil, the mold smell is still intense. The room is small, no sunlight so it's explained the terribly moldy smell... So painful and didn't even sleep for one hour

I like the back of the motel, it has a table there, and the view there is pretty good. We booked two rooms, but the smell in the rooms was so bad, and the neighbour was pretty loud in the morning too.
