We stayed here for two nights and really enjoyed it! The location was great, right between Nanaimo and Victoria. The nature around the motel was beautiful, and it was close to pretty much everything we needed. There was also a gas station right next door, which was super convenient for grabbing snacks and other things. Overall, everything was good and we had a great stay!

the mattress on the bed was great. the staff were friendly and helpful. the fountain doesn't work but there's some cute frogs living in it. was not hard to get to from the bus stop. AC worked well but the bathroom fan did not. smelled like cigarettes in the room when we got there but it went away after a day of running the air conditioner. the room was clean enough for me but my standards are lower than a lot of people's. quick walk to fuller lake. it was the only hotel in town within my price range but were happy we stayed there. it's pretty quiet there and you can see stars well from their garden at night. try the curry at the Haida Way restaurant next door.

While it may not be much to look at from the outside, its a great little place to stay. Very quiet, very clean and friendly staff. Air conditioning worked great and the beds were very comfortable. We stayed there once before, and the experience then was great as well. We will definitely stay there again.
