This motel was such a treat. Impeccably clean. The spa bath was awesome and great for a mid winter get away. Would highly recommend.

− It doesn't have a private balcony area but other than that everything was great.

Enjoyed our stay

9.0

Great location. Parking included. Was quiet even though we were on ground floor and facing the main water front road. No view from our room but we did expect that. Finding the spa bath was in the main room rather than bathroom was a little weird. Room was clean, warm and well serviced. We enjoyed our two night stay
