Very nice staff and room was clean and was easy to load and unload the car. Rooms are a bit dated as it's an older motel but they keep it nice and very clean compared to the big chain hotels we have stayed at in our way to Vancouver from manitoba.

The motel is within walking distance to Canooligans restaurant and pub in Canoe, but you have to cross a main Hwy to get there. The rooms appear to have been redecorated and are nicely done but quite spartan. Not much in the way of furniture in the room! It was quiet at night and the beds were comfortable.

A little dingy from the outside, but the room was the best motel room, I have ever stayed in. The AC some might consider a little loud, but I was very happy it had AC, as it was 35°C outside.
