Clean and good value

We enjoyed our stay. As it was a motel we weren’t sure if they had an ice maker somewhere. Being in the room for about ten minutes we get a call asking how our room is from the front desk. Good timing! I asked about ice. He said he would be right over with a bag and ice bucket! Great service, super friendly, and very clean rooms. Can’t beat the price!

The surrounding area is a little bleh, but I guess it's to be expected that the motel was meant for people coming off the highway, given that it's on the Trans Canada. My scrub ass just doesn't have a vehicle so running errands was a bit of a pain
