If you're looking for a clean, comfortable room with incredible owners, I would strongly recommend this place. It has nothing fancy, no extra bells and whistles. I felt very safe and very comfortable my entire stay!!!

I travel a lot for work and stay in all kinds of places, so I tend to be pretty selective. From the outside, this property looks old-school, which usually lowers expectations. But inside, it’s clear the management understands what actually matters to people who are on the road constantly. No carpets — which is a smart decision. The room was clean, no odors, and the blankets were clearly fresh and in good condition. Anyone who travels often knows how rare that is at this price point, especially in motels where bedding is usually an afterthought. The focus here is on practicality and cleanliness rather than unnecessary decoration. Everything feels intentional and easy to maintain, which tells me the place is run by people who think long-term. For the rate, the quality and cleanliness are better than expected. This is the kind of place I’d stay at again simply because it’s consistent, quiet, and does the basics right.

Great newly renovated room. Tv a little small and poor sound. Kitchenette was adequate small 2 burner cooktop. Walls a little thin could hear people in adjacent rooms. Loved the full size fridge. I was there for work so it was a great location. Bed was brand new. No housekeeping as I was a monthly resident. All in all it was a good experience. Will definitely be using them again in the future.

The room was good size with clean linens and comfortable beds and pillows. The AC and heating so good that as soon as you enter the room you feel relaxed and like you stay at home. The kitchenette served our needs.The fridge was full size. Price was very reasonable. Big front yard full of greens with Pini tables patches under trees. I would like to stay again .

It doesn't look like much on a first glance but this was one of the most wonderful motel experiences we have had on our journey so far. Comfy beds, clean room. We had access to a full fridge and freezer, little kitchen area with all needs supplied. Beyond that, the staff was friendly and made sure we had whatever we needed. Excited to come back and stay again the next time we visit the island from Ontario.

We stayed at this motel for a few days and were very satisfied. The room was clean, everything worked well, and there was nothing unnecessary. You can feel that everything is done with care. We were especially pleased with the large fridge, microwave, and electric stove.
