We love the intimate size of the motel and the charming art work in the rooms. We also love the location of the motel at the edge of the forest - we have stayed there several times over the years, and hope to be back.

The room was very nice and very clean. The staff was very curteous, including the help desk when I had difficulties with the app. The communication ahead of the stay was very good and the check-in was very simple. Would definitely go back

Don’t let the word “motel” deter you. This place has been recently renovated to an adorable, clean, cozy place that my friends and I had a lovely time staying at. I’m looking forward to staying there again!

Great motel on the edge of downtown. It was a great value, motel was recently renovated and very cute/clean. I did not give the condition five stars because someone had recently made a hole in the wall, which the motel can't be faulted for unfortunate guests. It was quiet and pet friendly. Bed was very comfortable as well and you had access to the facilities at their sister hotel, Canoe, across the street. I would definitely stay here again and recommend anyone looking for a nice, clean, quiet stay without all the fuss you'd normally get from the hotel experience.

10/10

Highly recommend Dorothy Motel. The room was great, spacious and clean. The bed was very comfortable. All the amenities were included (kettle, fridge, tv, hair dryer, safe, there was also a microwave). Tea/coffee/milk provided. Room was cleaned everyday. There was a nice courtyard where you could sit as well as use the Hotel Canoe’s facilities (pool/hot tub etc). You can check-in and out at Hotel Canoe (and I was able to leave my bags there too on checkout). Hotel Canoe have an on-site restaurant (Sudden Sally), good for breakfast. It is a little outside the downtown area (20 min walk) but the hotel provided a 3 day bus pass and so it really wasn’t an issue. The bus stopped very close to the motel.
