Room was very clean and well laud out with terrific vuews of the lake. Bit of musty smell maybe because off season and the room had no temperature control, overall very satisfied. The lady that greeted us when we checked in was very friendly and the check in was very efficient.

Clean room. Friendly staff. Casino just 7 min drive.
Minor issue is you can’t control the heat in the room but we just kept the windows open and all was good.

Great home base for cycling the Simcoe Liop. Well maintained and very clean motel. Beautiful views and cozy campfire pit. We stayed in a junior suite, and the only improvement I could suggest would be a solid door on the washroom for a bit of added privacy:) but did not detract from our stay.
