The place was updated with walk in shower. Kitchen with fridge & kitchen suite and all utensils. They continued to provide coffee & creamer for the length of our stay. Everything was clean and in excellent shape. We saw a peacock and deer in the yard. Excellent coffee shops, restaurants, shopping, parks, trails & beaches within short drives from the motel. We stayed for a week and we plan on returning next time we return to the island.

We stayed here as part of our bike tour across Vancouver Island. The queen bed barely fit in the room, but the room was clean and even had a refrigerator (not expected). No office, check in is online (l love the locks!).
