Loved this place! Convenient location tucked away from city life but close enough to drive to many activities. Convenient and clean gas station next door. Large rooms. I would definitely stay here again if I am in the area.

2 night stay good walking distance to town and beach. Rooms are nice, no frills. I bit pricy for what you get but there are not many options in town. Overall worth the stay.0

I booked this place on expedia and it was not what I wanted. The room that I had booked had a jacuzzi and snack bar. This place did not. I would never pay $1380 CAD for a place that was a step up from a motel for 3 nights. It was pretty clean, paper thing walls to the point where my partner thought I was making noise in the shower, when it was really someone walking down the stairs from above us. (we had the end unit). Not worth the price, but for half the price I would stay there again. Very convenient to the beach and food spots.

New clean simple traditional motel. No views, next to a clean new gas station. Again, nice, adequate but mundane.
