This was a very clean and comfortable roadside motel just off the TransCanada highway which made it a great stop on our road trip. The staff was friendly and helpful, the beds and linens were very good quality and it was quiet at night.

It was a nice room. Bathroom was a bit cramped, but ok for 1 person. Bed was comfortable. I was in the last room on the end, so it was quiet.

Fine for overnight stay

Attached restaurant was nice, I had a pleasant dinner there. Despite being just off the highway my room was quiet. Certainly the base is a classic dated motel but they are doing their best to keep it up.
