I almost don't want to give it a rating because I lived how quiet it was, but it's lovely. It's been lovingly renovated and a short walk to everything. I've already booked another booking!

Lovely little motel! Very clean and comfortable. Was a 10 min walk to downtown shops, restaurants, and the river tubing. Self check-in was a breeze. Although there’s no front desk/lobby the motel is available by phone. Someone was there shortly after we checked in and made sure everything was all good as we were heading out for a walk. Definitely would stay here again!

The property was recently renovated and it is very nice! It suited the 3 of us well. The only issue was we smelled mold as soon as we opened the door. It seemed to be coming from the bedroom area. We also would have preferred a fridge versus a wine chiller. But this place was amazing! We loved how roomy, clean and quiet it was.
