Very rude staff. No helped offered instead just focused on forcing us to go away. Expedia didn’t help because it was in the booking information that 6 people were booked but in reality it was 4. No relocation or incentives offered. Very very disappointed, never again.

The only thing upset about. Rate advertised as $149. A night. Then charged $218. When I questioned it. He said $149 was American rate. In a motel in Canada. Felt that was very much FALSE advertising.

The room appeared to be recently renovated. It was clean and comfortable and featured a balcony with a view of the river. We would stay again if we were in the area.

Liked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities
A cute location within 30 minutes of Highland National Park. Nothing fancy but adequate. The rooms are pet friendly and thus had a powerful scent of deodorizer which was borderline nauseating. Would be fine if you brought a smelly dog!? The heater was noisy but the outside temperature allowed us to turn it off overnight.

We stayed in the 2-level block of rooms next to the restaurant and reception with a lake view and balcony. These are the nicer more renovated rooms.They number in the 30's. Restaurant only had a buffet breakfast the morning we were there. A very expensive $60. Friendly staff and service.
