Nous y avons bien dormi, ce qui était notre objectif primaire.
Pros:

Le logement était propre, bien situé, spacieux, les lits étaient confortables, les équipements tous fonctionnels.

Cons:

Le mobilier était plutôt vieillot, l'équipement de cuisine était le strict minimum (à mon avis). J'ai un peu moins aimé d'avoir à aller récupérer et remettre les clés à la réception située un peu plus loin.

no regrets - low price, clean, comfortable, well equipped
Pros:

While not a 5-star place, it deserves 5 stars for what it has to offer at a bargain $$$. Nothing fancy, but fully functional, spotless clean, and comfortable at an unbeatable price. We especially enjoyed the hard mattress and the many tables to place our things on without cluttering the suite. Easy to tell that the property is well taken care of, as there is a mix of new and old, and in fact using the old stuff until it breaks down is the best environmentally friendly approach. The fridge for example was pretty new, if not "just" bought. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook a home-made meal. Excellent choice for those you prefer a more "homey" place to stay. Comfortable couch to relax after a day of walking on the beach and trails, or strolling through town. Location is smack downtown, so close to the grocery store, no need to drive.

We absolutely enjoyed our unit and would definitely choose it in the future.
Pros:

Received a delightful upgrade to a 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom fully stocked Whales Tale Guest Suite. We came for a Family get together for Thanksgiving. Unfortunately, when our host ( where we were going to cook and eat ) woke up ill that day, we were able to cook a full dinner of turkey, ham and all the trimmings at the motel. And loads of gratitude for the dishwasher! One other perk to mention - a gorgeous sunny weekend to explore the beaches and trails. October on the Coast is awesome!

Cons:

Please put scissors in your units. I got a nasty cut trying to open the in room coffee bag with a knife. Some sharper cutting knives would be good too. One last thing, the coffee pack was dated Feb. 2024 for best before - maybe check your inventory closer.

Pros:

The location is great, it's also great value for money. We got the house, and it was really spacious, definitely a nice place to stay.

Cons:

As you can probably see on the pictures everything is a bit dated. This is not a big problem, but it was the biggest downside.
