The motel is right on the road, with lots of late night and early morning traffic. Had to sleep with the window open as the air conditioner was a unit that only sorta fit into a gap in the window, the pipe kept falling out, and was noisy.

Room was older than we expected but safe and a good location. Smelled a bit musty but aired out easily. Excellent value for waiting for an early morning kayak departure.

Good in general. Room is big. There is a bath tub and plenty of hot water to fill it. Staff is very helpful and understanding of the needs of disabled clients. The few things that can be improved are... Hardwood floors are not even, and can be cleaned more often. Internet speed is slow. Yet. I would recommend this place to travelers for one or two nights.

I don't like writing bad reviews but am really feeling uncomfortable staying here due to the condition of the room. The room has seen better days. The bathtub looks filthy, once the smell of nilodour goes away, the smell of urine is very strong. The fridge was leaking so I asked for some rags to put on the floor. The side of the mattress digs into you when you try to get into bed. There are dents in the walls, a lot of chipped paint and rust. There aren't a lot of cars parked in front. If there are better rooms unoccupied I suggest putting guests in those rooms first. This room is not worth over $200 a night after taxes. Our room is poorly maintained.

The rooms are clean enough, but they smell of cleaning agents. The odor of the first room was unbearable for me, although some people might not mind the citris smell. The owner was kind enough to move me to another room with less odor. Alas, this room had no deadbolt or even an operable chain on the door (a chair did fit under the door handle--I've never done that before!) and the guests overhead woke me when they walked overhead. Fortunately most guests were quiet but walls and ceilings are thin and the windows rattle. Argh, not good night. The linens are fresh, but the property is a bit run down.

The owners are really nice people . The room was clean and had a really nice ocean and boat launch view right across the street . My room 37 had a fridge , microwave , coffee machine and an airconditioner . The ocean walking path is right across the street and runs 28 km along the ocean . I had car troubes and had to stay another night. The motel said no vvacancy but the owner was able to let me keep my room another night which was super helpful as i really liked it there and has happy i didnt have to move to another motel.
