Our renovated room was clean and spacious. The motel wasn’t busy but they put guests next to each other and the walls are thin so conversations could be heard. Also tried to check in at 2 and told to return because carpets were being cleaned but our room had no carpet. Strange. The price was right for overnight stay and we were only there to sleep. Noisy road in front. Towels were like rags. Clean but very worn and rough. When we did check in after 4, the lady at the desk was much nicer than the man was earlier.

What a pleasant surprise this place turned out to be. Not only was it a very economical stay, but it was very clean and well taken care of (and beds are super comfy). The owners, Diane and Mike, are very friendly, and after a little chat, we soon discovered that we are all island transplants from the same city in the interior of BC. Great small town hospitality!

Nice property at a fair price! Only issue we had was that our suite had a slight smell that may have been from previous tenants cooking.
