Lots of room

Overpriced compared to other options in the area. No balcony or deck space. AC were very noisy; need updating. View out the BR window was on to a patio of construction materials and storage. I would not recommend your motel or stay here in the future. There are other options in the area for the same money, or less, closer to the beach, or with decks. Nice remodel that still needs work and is overpriced for what you get.

Friendly and helpful tide. Perfect location. Recently updated. Complete kitchen.

Our suite did not have a sofa bed as advertised when we booked, but the staff provided an extra mattress.

Overall, we enjoyed our stay very much.

8.0

Room was clean, spacious, nicely furnished and comfortable. Staff gave good service and were friendly. The location is perfect and it was quiet for sleeping, which was much appreciated.

We found that the TV was very difficult to use. We are seniors and not into technology, so ROKU and all these other technologies are very difficult for us - we had to ask for help just to turn it on and off. We did figure out basics after that, but really couldn't watch anything that we wanted to because we didn't know how to get to it. We would recommend going back to one of the normal providers like Shaw or Telus who have formats we can understand. The quality of the picture was excellent, however. We would also like to have seen a soap dish in the bathroom, as the raised sink didn't provide a space to put the soap, and also a lamp on both sides of the bed instead of just one.
