Love it. It fills everything what I'm looking for. The down part is beside kitchen staff coughs out side window slams screen door constantly. Dishes clinging co constantly. But compared to every where else I've stayed having a pet friendly room it's excellent I love it. It's my favourite motel despite a couple of things. Highly recommend

Thank you for choosing to stay at Shoredrive and for taking the time to write a review. You will be pleased to know that we have ordered new beds for many of our rooms and these will be replaced shortly. We have also noted that some of our couches and furniture need to be replaced as well and we are also attending to this. Our property will be undergoing major renovations in the near future and if you choose to stay at Shoredrive again we hope that we will exceed your expectations.
