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.
