2/10 Poor

A joke of a place. Keep driving

Terrible place to stay, but the only one for ~45km in either direction. If you can, keep driving.

Would stay again

Just needs an update. Fantastic location
Bonnie, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Great staff

The staff were great. The room had mosquitos and there were cobwebs on a couple of the lamps. The motel is well priced and we did get good rest. An air conditioner would have been good. The rooms need an upgrade.
CHRISTINE, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Not too bad

The accommodation provided a room with two double beds, which met our needs. Our arrival was at approximately 9:00 PM. The receptionist kindly provided two complimentary bottles of water, despite our offer to purchase them. The temperature at the time was 10 degrees Celsius. Given the absence of air conditioning, we opted not to use the electric fan due to the low temperature. We did observe some flies within the room. Consequently, we experienced a restless night due to the cold.

Thank you so much. We had some delays in getting there, and staff were very patient and accommodating when we arrived. Really appreciate it!
Chance, 1-night trip

Basic clean accommodation to stop in the middle of nowhere. Was cycling through the area and needed a stop. Food is available to order. Had a delicious burger. Helpful staff.

6/10 Good

Not really as advertised. Nice location. Tv froze or wouldn't load anything. Not really a shared kitchen, regulars at hotel took charge. Not worth the cost.
PATRICIA, 1-night trip

Misrepresented ad online

Upon arrival we smelled a very strong spray. Had to open windows. No microwave, TV had one channel (Shaw Community) and remote was sticky. Bathroom floors were not washed. Bathtub, sink and counter had hair and grime on them. Dead bug on the pillow. Bathroom door would not close. No hot water in the morning. No coffee maker, the closest restaurant was at least an hour away. Beautiful Sunset though!
