Nice place. But my door knob was practically falling off. And One day there were 3 police cars at the motel, not sure what for? They rooms could us a little maintenance. But I’ve stayed at worse places.

It's easy to see why this 3rd generation family owned business still does well in the current "big business" world of today. Co-Owner Ainsley and her Staff are friendly, helpful and efficient. The rooms are clean and neat with nice touches like soap and shampoo dispensers and hair dryers, and the light breakfast is cereal, yogurt, muffins, fresh fruit and orange juice as well as the "coffee and a doughnut" offered at some of the other small motels I have stayed at. Combined with competitive rates, I would certainly stay here again and and have no problem recommending it to others. Greg S. Surrey BC
