The Dorothy motel is fully renovated.Nice size of room,clean.I was just in shock with desinger choice of flooring it really didn't much with wallpaper and bathroom tiles.The heating element fan was really loud.We had to turned it off for the night. Otherwise it was very quiet place we didn't hear trafic noise or neighbors. Overall I would recomend this motel for the value. It was a nice touch that you have an access to Canoes hotel pools.

We had a very nice stay at the Dorothy. The room was appointed with everything we needed. We all slept well on the beds and pillows. Though simple, it was clean, stylish, comfortable and affordable. Access to the hot pools across the street absolutely was the highlight - they were beautiful!

Overall it was a decent hotel value for money. Unfortunately the floors were very cold and dirty though and no one came to make up our room for the second day when we stayed two nights. I did like that you can park right outside your door and nice the coffee, teas selection and even oat milk they offer at check in. Also I like that you can use the hot tub at the Canoe and Suites.
