We love our room at the Dorothy Motel - clean, cheerful and welcoming. The beds were comfortable, the mini fridge and a microwave were very useful. We used Canoe Hotel roof top hot pools and sauna across the street - the view was awesome . All in all it was a great experience. We will definitely stay again. Thank you !
