We booked this motel on the road.
We were greeted by the son as we walked in at check in (so polite) who got his parents.
The rooms are clean, warm up quickly and beds comfortable.
The breakfast had a good selection - including waffles!!

Super emplacement !
Pros:

Chambre spacieuse, avec possibilité de se garer juste devant la porte de chambre.
Bien situé : super snack dari isle et restaurant bowling juste à côté du motel ; balade à pieds facile en partant du motel.
Le petit déjeuner est basique (gauffre à cuire sois même à l'instant T, céréales, yaourts, café ou thé, pain).

Cons:

On a juste aperçu quelques insectes dans l'accueil/ salle de petit déjeuner en fin de matinée - mais on est entourés de nature donc cela provient sûrement de là. (Mais jamais dans la chambre qui était super propre)

Pros:

Rooms clean and quiet. Convenient access to everything. All staff very nice, serious about you enjoying your stay and coming back again. Breakfast area very clean and everything you need. Dog friendly. Definitely the best choice in town, pleased with value, location, safety and cleanliness especially compared to alternatives. Buildings old, a bit rough looking in parking lot with weeds/gravel but that’s it for complaints…

Pros:

Comfortable, clean, quiet, easy access to everything. Lovely bbq/fire pit communal area. Easy parking. Building s are very old, so not fancy but rooms still comfy. A bit rough in the parking lot with weeds, unpaved. Well worth the $$ though, easily the best choice in the town. Would stay again.
