It appears there are new-ish owners who are really trying to bring this property to life. Although most of the property is “old” it was very very clean and they had lots of workers renovating. There was also a new pool. And there is no longer a hot tub. My children loved the play area. I’ll be excited to see this place in another year or two. Also loved that our accommodation was like a little two bedroom apartment. So convenient!

Okay I’m going to start with the positives- this is in a great location! Very close to all the water parks, amusement parks, restaurants: basically everything you want to be close to! The pool seemed to be brand new so we really enjoyed that. That’s honestly where it ends. The exterior of the rooms are very outdated paint chipping. The room inside definitely requires some updates. It’s very outdated, tv doesn’t get many channels, the curtains were broken in our room so a lot of sun came through, the light in the bathroom wasn’t working, some interior updates like lighting, furniture, bedding, etc could definitely help with this establishment! The worst part was that we saw several earwigs when we were showering or using the bathroom. The playground area was also extremely outdated. Lots of pieces missing, wobbly and just in poor condition. The staff were great and friendly. Overall, great location but some major updates would help!

The staff are very friendly and come each night to see if we needed more towels etc. The room was very clean. The property is very outdated and in need of paint and repair outside. Staying in Cavendish it's close to everything. A Tim Horton's and Petro Canada are next door which was nice.

The rooms were clean but the area around the property was kept up very good. We also checked in and had no idea the pool wasn't open as it wasn't posted on Expedia when we booked and that was one of the most important things for us when booking because we have 3 small kids who love to swim. The BBQ area was a nice bonus but the bbq we were using (only one there) had a broken handle so it was a bit tricky. It was the perfect location though right near everything we were there to do and so we would stay again. They always say you get what you pay for!

Great Location

The room was clean and private. The room has been renovated nicely. It was very quiet despite there being construction and lots of families and children. The outside was messy because of on-going construction work, however it didn't bother us as the rooms were nice and clean. I did notice some dead bugs inside one of the lamp shades and the AC unit was dusty. The wifi didn't work well. it was nearly impossible to use electronics on wifi. My only recommendation would be to improve the wifi. We will stay here again. Things were reasonable priced and all we needed. The location is prefect for everything you need.

this motel is in need of some serious upgrades/renovations. It would not take much to make this place nice, update the comforters with some cheap ones from IKEA etc. we stayed in the strip part of the motel last stay (2023) and it wasn’t as dingy and horrible as the building rooms. We had room 34 and inside of the walls were infested with baby mice/squirrels? The non-stop squeezing day and night was a bit much.
