We didnt like the fact that the cabin was not clean. We would not use the stove it was disgusting the bathroom had half a roll of bathroom tissue and more to be found had to bug ours no cup to rinse after brushing our teeth the bathroom smelled of urine and there were cobwebs everywhere the furniture looked like it was picked off the side of the road and the floors were not swept.

There were many good things about this motel. Just 1 km. from waterfront area, best deal for a solo traveller, comfy bed and mostly clean. However, some less obvious areas had not been cleaned, caulking in shower needed replacing, key was hard to use and frig was leaking as it had been turned off. Easy things to fix and I'd have given it a better rasting.

Sadly, this property has a lot of potential but needs a little more cleaning and upkeep. Staff friendly. Beds were very comfortable . But that little attention to detail....cleaning..... floors, counters, baseboards, chase out spiders would help.. i would love to see owners fluorish in this business, just attention to detail . For $200 a night, i would expect cleaner.

I reserved this room because my daughter had to do her clinical for school at the local hospital. She said the only thing they noticed there was raw fish in the freezer from a previous guest still in there and some other things that were dirty. Other then that the facility was close to what she was there for and served the purpose.

The motel room itself was quite clean. And seemed nice at first glance however as the evening wore on I noticed more things wrong. There was no cream for the coffee that was in the room and they had none at the main house. The owner said there was a man down the street who sells coffee. Towel rack in the backroom was mostly missing, just one end was on the wall. There is poor water drainage when using the sink or shower. There were no sheets on the bed and no pillowcases, just a comforter, pillows and the mattress cover. I had stayed here several times years ago back about 2010 and it was a beautiful spot to stay. Too bad it isn't like it used to be, no longer a free breakfast either.

We loved it here and would stay again, the only we found was it could be cleaners bit better. The drawers had hairs and crumbs in them and the floors were pretty dirty. But it was very cozy and nice. The heat pump was fabulous. The staff was very friendly. And the gas station across the road is convenient and open 24/7
