Super friendly service, the people who work here want to ensure you have a terrific stay. The place is clean, bright, and there is a wonderful coffee shop across the street that open early! Unfortunately our mattress needed replacing and the topper kept sliding off, and since we stayed in order to sleep, this made for a less pleasant stay.

What a pleasant surprise this place turned out to be. Not only was it a very economical stay, but it was very clean and well taken care of (and beds are super comfy). The owners, Diane and Mike, are very friendly, and after a little chat, we soon discovered that we are all island transplants from the same city in the interior of BC. Great small town hospitality!

This is a clean, quiet little motel in a pleasant area. Within a reasonable drive of Nanaimo and with decent access to several nearby beaches. Will likely stay here again.

Nice property at a fair price! Only issue we had was that our suite had a slight smell that may have been from previous tenants cooking.
