Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Very affordable, clean rooms, very quiet, room are well appointed and fresh. Nice paint on the outside. We loved this place. We spent 5 days and had a kitchenette suite that was very well furnished. The exterior is very pleasant, clean and the beautiful hanging flower baskets complements the surrounding. The highway traffic is minimal and its doesn't reach the rooms or in any way affects or disturbs the stay. We will come back.

One night stay, booked ahead online. This motel has only a plus column list. Bathroom: Pump shampoo and conditioner bottles, soft towels, good bathroom fan, great water pressure, real hot water. Beds: soft sheets, 3 pillows, softer side matress. Slept great! Kitchen: cutting board, utensils, pots, coffee, etc. Apartment size fridge. Air conditioning unit. Great paint job. Wood tones with grey paint. Very well maintained property. Mature rose bushes and hanging baskets finish our experience here perfectly. Well done!

This motel was not what we expected. When we drove up it looked like a typical small highway motel. Nothing could be further from the truth. Our room featured one bedroom, a second queen bed in the entrance area, a kitchenette and a small table and two chairs. The bathroom had colourful decorations on the wall and the towels were nice colours rather than institutional white. We really liked the colours. The fridge was bright red, the plates had bright patterns and the quilts were also patterned, not white. The only drawback was the limited space for luggage. Everything was very clean and while close to a busy road, it was very quiet at night. It was also a short walk to the riverside path. Restaurants and services are about a block away.

Was a great overnight stay, very comfortable and quiet. Had all the amenities needed for having a meal in your room and a nice little table to eat at. It suited our purpose and would definitely stay here again. Was pet friendly as well which is also a plus for us!

We stayed here for 2 nights - attractive, quiet location with pleasant walks to the waterway and restaurants. The room was meticulously clean and nicely updated, air-conditioning and overhead fans kept us just the right temperature. Very comfortable bed and linens. Friendly owners. Would definitely hope to return, as well as recommend this cute spot to friends and family.

We stayed in the cottage lastnight and it was so beautiful and clean. It was super quiet. Rooms with a full kitchen was more than we expected. Staff were so friendly. Highly recommend, we'll be back again next summer for sure.
