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!).

Charming motel
This was a pleasant surprise. We weren’t sure what to expect, but the room was enchanting. Things look to have been redecorated recently. I was a bit surprised there was no air-conditioning, and completely surprised there was no hairdryer. I would have brought one had I known. Those two things aside, I would definitely stay here again. Good value for the money.

The room was very small, but super clean and comfortable. Make sure you know what type of room you are buying. I thought I booked the large room with the sofa and kitchenette, I did not. The delux room is the small room. It all worked out. If you stay here consider having breakfast at the Country Mart Grocery Store, their food is excellent.

Very clean, but nowhere to sit, had to leave the window open for circulation but many people walked right by and looked in. I dont recall seeing anything that described the room as micro but that may have been my mistake. It would have been nice to have a couple chairs to sit on outside, maybe have a drink instead of having to leave. Overall… too cramped for our liking. Getting around the bed, trying not to hit the tv and trying to find an outlet for the coffee maker were just a bit frustrating. Contactless check in and out was good with good communication.

Fantastic stay! Highly recommended!
Amazing motel! Would highly recommend! Clean, comfortable, in a lovely area - with all the mod cons you’d want and Tim Horton’s coffee pods! The owners responded in a timely manner with all access information - couldn’t complain! Our nicest accommodation whilst on the island. Book now!!
