The motel is located next to the Trans Canada highway and is well marked with signage. It is a very well maintained piece of property. The rooms were very clean, including a microwave and small fridge with a freezer. It was quite quiet considering its proximity to the highway. The staff was friendly, polite and very helpful. We would recommend this motel, if staying in the area.

This is an old fashioned motel with few amenities and showing its age a little bit, but with decent updates that make it feel comfortable. We thought it was worth the price and kind of charming. The staff was welcoming and helpful. The beds were comfortable. It was quiet and we felt safe there. What more could you ask for?
