it's ok.

The Ascott is an older style motel. The room was large, however the was not enough space to put your luggage except the floor. There were good drapes, so the room was dark at night, which helps with sleeping. the unit was clean apart from a few ants in the bath room

Lots of positives- nice family unit. Separate bedrooms. Staff friendly. Small kitchenette but no oven. Couple negatives- Spa bath had to be filled with shower head- something wrong with the tap. Queen bed super hard, and not overly comfortable. Tea and coffee cheap brands and unpalatable. Overall ok but pricey given what else is available in the area.

Perfectly good motel, as you would expect from an Asure property. Lovely firm bed. Couldn't find tissues, and no decaf coffee sachets, but other than that, a very comfortable stay, with even a view of the lake in the distance!
