Just a wonderful place! Great for families with dogs. The fenced off area in the back is perfect for off leash fun. BBQ shelter! Horseshoes if you're so inclined. We stayed in 107 once we explained to the manager that stairs are a problem. Since we are seniors, he gave us a discount. We had a very large suite with 2 queen beds. The kitchenette was a blessing not expected and very clean with everything needed to prepare a meal. Even a built in hot plate. The towels were fluffy, 100% cotton which is always a pleasure. Comfortable white cotton linens on the beds. There is no question that we would stay here again for a week on our trips to visit BC.

The rooms were clean and the beds are comfy. There was no water in the pool and the motel is ready for a much needed make over!

Pleasant host, and staff. Very accommodating. Despite it being an older motel, the room was comfortable, up dated, and well laid out. Extra little touches make it cozy. A/C, parking out front.

Rooms are updsted in furniture but not things like bathroom etc. Property has so much room and potential so I hope they are planning to do some upgrading on the landscaping and pool. Beds were very comfortable so that was great. Will stay again!

It has an inclosed bbq area in the back of the hotel, with 2 bbq's a small fridge as well as a fire pit with the wood supplied, all bottom units are kitchenettes, its close to everything, rooms are very clean, they go above and beyond to clean it updated an very clean, the young gentleman who checked us in was very friendly and went out of his way to make sure all guests had towels etc, he was there alone and multitasked so well, we will definitely stay here again.
