The room was very nice and very clean. The staff was very curteous, including the help desk when I had difficulties with the app. The communication ahead of the stay was very good and the check-in was very simple. Would definitely go back

The room was very comfortable with unique patterns. Everything was so quiet. The hot pools across the street were lovely. The in room coffee/ tea with fresh milk option was such a nice touch.

This is a very charming little motel and we loved staying there. It is very clean as well. My only complaint is that room cleaning service was not as great. But the staff at the mother hotel Canoe were great.

Cute cozy rooms with warm lighting. We had access to the hot pools of their sister hotel, which was amazing! Right behind Route 1 bus stop, and they gave us complementary bus tickets for the duration of our stay. We had an excellent stay. :)
