Our third stay here. The room was smaller than we have had before. Otherwise everything was good. It’s nice that there is a cafe nearby now and overall the value is great. The location is nice too, especially being able to walk down to the lake.

Clean, quiet motel. Comfortable king size bed with choice of pillows. Nice shampoo, shower gel and conditioner in the shower with plenty of hot water and good flow. The owners were very accommodating, providing an extra blanket and a hairdryer at our request. Housekeeping service was offered for our second night, although we declined. The location is great, right before the bridge. We would not hesitate to book here again.

The lady at the check-in desk is friendly, knowledgeable and super helpful. The room and bed were clean and comfortable. Room is a bit smaller than typical - adequate for 1 person, might be a bit small for 2 people. Sounds (voices, TV) in the next room can be heard through the wall, just the sounds, not the words. Otherwise, this motel is quiet. Overall, it is a nice place to stay and I would stay again.

Usually stay in downtown area, but fully booked due to the Shambala Festival happening near by. This hotel was located on the edge of town with beautiful views of the bridge and city lights at night. Short walk to the town's beach right across the bridge. Hotel was older, but super clean and comfortable; with friendly front desk and cleaning staff. Great stay, thank you:)

We were delighted with our stay. The room we rented had a small kitchen, full size fridge, comfy bed and large bathroom. Room was clean, property is well kept. Plenty of parking. Beach access is a short walk just down the hill from the motel. Cafe on site. Property is family owned, lobby has hours. Be sure to call if you will be checking in late.   Water and other beverages for sale in lobby. Located about 5 min drive from downtown. We didn't notice the road noise. Mini split kept the room very comfortable. Overall would definitely recommend.
