"Close to the highway, but I was surprised that the noise wasn't bad at all. Renovated rooms are clean and comfortable and painted a lovely shade of salmon which suits the name of hotel. The lady at the desk was helpful and changed my room so I could see my vehicle that was loaded full. Very reasonable price and would definitely stay here again. Also must see Canoe beach park which is close by."
