It was newly renovated and very nice. The bed was comfortable and was on a beautiful property not right on a road.
Karen, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Good option for a short overnight on the way through. Room is very small - (no options to sit inside other than the bed) but clean, modern and quiet with a comfortable bed. Easy check in process. Good restaurants within easy walking distance.

Dorothy, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

South Shore Motel was ideal for us for a night stopover on our road trip. Our room was obviously refurbished recently and was smart and spotless. The remote check in would have been smooth if we had been given the correct door code, but this was corrected when I rang them.

The was a last-minute booking and found this motel. it was clean and well designed for a short stay. Staff service was excellent. We will stay again.
Dan, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Clean and comfortable. Even though it was self check in, owner responded quickly to inquiries. Family suite was great, though friends who booked the single room found it a bit cramped.

Jennifer, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Lovely little motel! Very clean and comfortable. Was a 10 min walk to downtown shops, restaurants, and the river tubing. Self check-in was a breeze. Although there’s no front desk/lobby the motel is available by phone. Someone was there shortly after we checked in and made sure everything was all good as we were heading out for a walk. Definitely would stay here again!

South Shore Mitel- try it; you will love it!

For an unmanned office the check in was simple with clear instructions. The room was comfortable, clean, spacious and the kitchenette well equipped with utensils. The property was topped off with easy access to a nature reserve and trail through a great stream side forest.

Charles, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

The property was recently renovated and it is very nice! It suited the 3 of us well. The only issue was we smelled mold as soon as we opened the door. It seemed to be coming from the bedroom area. We also would have preferred a fridge versus a wine chiller. But this place was amazing! We loved how roomy, clean and quiet it was.
Melissa, 1-night trip

Comfy bed and quiet - slept well. Nicely refurbished too. A great location for tubing on the River.
