This is an older motel that has been repainted and refurbished. The rooms are very clean and bright.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Disliked: Amenities
The motel was noisy by the highway but we didn’t seem to be bothered once inside the room. I liked that the bedding and linens were clean. The only dislike is the bedside lamp was too bright for night reading.
I didn't like that there was no elevator. I walk with a cane because of a bad knee & ankle so stairs are difficult. However, they did move us from the 3rd floor to the 2nd.
I would rate this property 7.5. I liked the location just a bit out of town. It’s not too far to get to some food. It is just a short driving distance to the lake and dock. It’s an older style ground floor motel. Bathroom upgraded. I got to my room and thought cool, this is old style. But the room smelled musty and also like cooked rice. I didn’t like the smell it bothered me. I decided to enjoy the peaceful room, and then the neighbours showed up. They were noisy and when they finally went to bed and I was trying to get to sleep, I could hear the guy snoring next door. Next day, noisy and could hear him coughing. It ruined my whole experience. Not the motels fault. If I could offer a suggestion it would be, tv’s are pretty cheap to purchase these days and the tv in the room was a bit bigger than a wide computer screen and everything looked squished on the screen.
Great location if you are just passing through and don’t need to hang out in town.
The rooms we had were very clean, comfortable beds and pillows and little seating areas on the grass in front of motel which was nice for
Evening socializing.
