Room was clean and comfortable, close to amenities and beach. Didn't realize the kitchen was not available, although it had a fridge and microwave there were no plates, cups or cutlery.

Wonderful staff! Rooms were clean, motel was easy to locate; perfect for our trip. Just a little drive into Salmon Arm for all amenities. A little noisy being right off Hwy 1; but that was completely expected. Would definitely stay here again.
