The window next to the entry was broken and the worn tape indicated that the window had been broken for some time. The door to the room fitted poorly and the chain lock broken. It took several minutes for hot water to flow from the shower and a large clump of black hair was stuck on the shower wall. In the morning someone was asleep in the hallway. All in all, not a good experience!
Super clean room with personal touches. Pillows are a bit thin so bring your own if you want fluffy ones. Motel is full so diagonal parking is full/crowded. Great location with friendly and easy check-in.
Room was convenient. The rooms was a different story. The bed was hard the pillows were flat the TV and satellite box were unplugged. There was used soaps and towels in the bathroom, front desk did not care. It was key entry. You can hear your neighbors watching TV or other things.

Good place to stay. Restaurant and gas station/store as part of complex. Rooms a little dated but clean and comfortable. Parking on site could get a little tight in busy times.
The motel is very well located. Near the lake, gas station is right there along with a very good restaurant.
The only part that was a turn off was the $200 damage deposit which was returned on our card 2 days later. We stayed in over 15 motels in our 3 weeks trip to the Maritimes from Calgary and it was the only motel that needed a damage deposit.
I gave this a 3/5 mostly because this isn't the worst place i have ever stayed. I booked this place driving back from Alberta to Ontario, it was cheap and the only thing available at the time. Its kind of the side of the road motel you could expect
We did not actually stay the night as we requested to see the room prior to registering. The hallway had a stale smell and the room was extremely small as the bed took up most of it. The parking was extremely difficult to navigate as it was narrow and was extremely sloped. Check-in was through a convenience store as well. As for cleanliness we did not look any further after seeing how small the room was.
Paintwork in room 21 was grubby, it needed cleaning. The carpet was dirty and stained. There was a fitting on the bath top that was was black. Wall paper was hanging off the wall. No tissues despite there being a holder and we were told they had none, although they owned a convenience store on site. Bed coverlets were worn and tired. It was very much overpriced for the quality of accommodation. It needed a complete renovation. On reflection, it was worth only one star
