Very rude staff. No helped offered instead just focused on forcing us to go away. Expedia didn’t help because it was in the booking information that 6 people were booked but in reality it was 4. No relocation or incentives offered. Very very disappointed, never again.

The only thing upset about. Rate advertised as $149. A night. Then charged $218. When I questioned it. He said $149 was American rate. In a motel in Canada. Felt that was very much FALSE advertising.

The room appeared to be recently renovated. It was clean and comfortable and featured a balcony with a view of the river. We would stay again if we were in the area.

A cute location within 30 minutes of Highland National Park. Nothing fancy but adequate. The rooms are pet friendly and thus had a powerful scent of deodorizer which was borderline nauseating. Would be fine if you brought a smelly dog!? The heater was noisy but the outside temperature allowed us to turn it off overnight.

We stayed in the 2-level block of rooms next to the restaurant and reception with a lake view and balcony. These are the nicer more renovated rooms.They number in the 30's. Restaurant only had a buffet breakfast the morning we were there. A very expensive $60. Friendly staff and service.

If you are looking at this property to book and you are ok with the rate you get, do not hesitate and book. The rooms at this property have all been renovated and are great!!! New beds , tv, air conditioning and new bathroom. The new owner has done a great job at upgrading the property so you should ignore the old reviews before renovations were done. You get free cable tv with lots of channels and access to Netflix. Amazon prime etc if you have subscriptions. Room has refrigerator and microwave. The breakfast was really good at a reasonable price !! I will definitely book here again if I return to the area.
