Absolutely wonderful place to visit! The theme rooms are so fun - makes us want to see them all. The staff are great - check in was a breeze and the daily coffee was terrific. Very close to the beach, and all those lovely wineries. We truly enjoyed our stay and plan to return.

Funky vintage inspired decor and top level comfort combine. I wanted to unplug myself from my life for 24 hours and got exactly this with a mini road trip and a stellar stay in the Hop On the Orient Express room. Plush, quiet sleep on a lovely mattress and a hot shower in the morning, plus the amazing coffee at Joe — highest rating

This property is very unique with the retro vibe and themed rooms. We enjoyed our fun stay in the comedian room and look forward to going back to try another themed room. Walking distance to a few dining options and within minutes driving distance to wineries and breweries in the region. Staff were very welcoming and nice and we look forward to visiting again.

Loved our stay stsrt to finish. Staff energy was extra on point to us feeling welcomed and valued as travellers. Dining suggestion that was shorter walking distance than our own original choice was a hit for us too. Only suggestion, downside us lack of elevator at this time (wouldve enjoyed the common room on the second floor but didnt because of movilitu issues. Will return visit for sure and highly recommend for a great unique experience stay!

Loved this motel! It was super clean and the room was so cute. It was walking distance to the lake and a short drive to wineries. I traveled with my fur baby and they treated her so nice. Overall a great motel and I will definitely be staying again.

A perfect hidden gem
Probably one of the cutest motels I’ve ever been to in my life. It has all the positives of a motel, while still being extremely upscale and comfortable. I immediately texted my whole family to tell them we needed to all come back and stay here. The place alone is worth the stay though the proximity to the lake is a huge plus as well. Definitely hoping to come back again soon.

The word "motel" is definitely misleading. This place is just as nice as Ceasars in Windsor. It's retro which is very cool! Surrounded by eateries & a block from Lake Erie. Staff incredibly accommodating! I experienced the May-flies which is definitely an ordeal to say the least. I was in great hands at this hotel! They do what they need to clear paths for you w/o you even having to ask. I'll definitely be a regular here for my visits to Canada.
