The room was very large with 2 big beds, though the bathroom was very tiny. The motel reminded me of traveling with my parents during the 70's on a road trip. Its dated, but comfortable. The carpet had a big stain...so though I felt the room was clean, I wasn't comfortable walking on the carpeted floor and wore slippers. The continental breakfast was simple...bagels and yogurt in a small fridge. The office hours didn't start until 8:30 which is a little late if you want to hit the road early and grab a quick breakfast. But overall, everything was good. Our thanks to the staff.

Check in girl was super friendly. Our room was number 14 and it was quiet and clean. Only issue was the TV did not work. Other than that it was a great stay.

Nice Place

This was a nice place that was fairly close to Port Stanley. Staff were nice and friendly and the room was clean inappropriate. The only issue was the AC was not fully working initially.
