Quaint but needs repairs
The motel grounds are very well kept and are quiet and clean. The front office is cute and clean. The room we were given in the back of the lot was large but was in need of some simple repairs. For the cost of the room the quality of the room was not inline. Good location and easy access. They just need to make simple repairs that make a big difference. Our phone did not work, the tv did not work but they did come mess with it and it finally worked. We plugged in a hairdryer and it blew a breaker - they did come fix that as well. The service was good, the room was so so.

Beware that there is a bar at the property with live music in the evening that goes til 1:30 a.m. This bar was right beside my window. I was told at checkin that the music only went til 11 p.m., which I didn't think was unreasonable. However when it was still going strong at 12:30, I called reception and was told, "No, it doesn't end til 1:30 a.m." I find it hard to believe that they didn't know that when I checked in. At first the manager was not willing to allow me to cancel my second night and get a refund. It was only after I got Expedia involved (thanks to the helpful folks at Expedia) that he was willing to do so. He remainded unwilling to discount my first night. So I paid $350 CAD for 3 1/2 hours sleep. He assured me that he would let all staff know how late the music actually goes, so if you are told otherwise, let my lesson be your guide. Otherwise the property is fine and the bed was comfortable. It will work if you don't mind live music literally outside your room (Room 19) til 1:30 a.m.

First time for us visiting the Southwinds and we thought it was a great location. We had a daily stop at the Tipsy Rooster, which is located on the property, to relax while listening to the live music.
