They have done a nice job of interior renos and nice extras like bath robes and two outside common patio tables. Easy to find on hwy 1 and walking distance to a river walkway and parks. Front desk staff very helpful. Floor above a bit creaky with heavy walkers but quiet room overall.

Boutique Motel
This is a motel and is excellent for the type of property. Ample parking, decent size rooms and super friendly staff.
The motel supplies plush bathrobes, renovated bathrooms (bathtub replaced with large shower), fridge, coffee maker, iron & ironing board and ear plugs.
If you are on the ground floor rooms, you can hear the people in the room above walking or moving chairs but only during waking hours. This did not bother us but it may others. Very pleasant accommodation for a motel. Very convenient location for my early morning appointment at the Foothills hospital.

Good for stopover
We did a one night stay here to start our BC road trip from Edmonton.
Good local to get on the highway to Kelowna.
This is an updated old style motel.
Doesn’t look exceptional from the exterior but our king room on the street level appears to have been updated in last few years.
Nice comfy bed. Enough space on the bathroom counter for toiletries. A narrow table with a chair was okay but would have been better to have a second bedside table for phone, iPad and other items
All good and desk staff were friendly and efficient.
