Quiet retrieve.

This motel is located in a quiet village. Nonetheless, it is located right by the marina and a two minute walk to a very splendid museum. At the museum staff give you an insightful tour, and near by are beautiful trails. We stayed two nights to decompress after a long journey. The owner is very nice and accommodated us with dogs, and was very reasonable. There are also a few lovely shops to meadier about if you would like to. We would stay again for an overnight before making the next leg to Thunder Bay from the London area again. Thank you!

Beds were clean but everything else was just surface cleaned. Bathroom could have used a thorough cleaning, but I could be picky with bathrooms. It was fine for an overnight stay.

Staff was very friendly, check in was easy and room was very clean. Only issue we had was getting the tv to work. Turns out both the batteries for the remote and the remote itself were faulty; however the staff were very helpful and rectified the problem.

At the time we stayed they were undergoing renovations which was not clear when we booked. Our room was updated but very dusty that seemed like post-reno dust. Overall I think it will be a great place if all rooms are being renovated similarly.

Hard to find parking as there were several transports taking up most of the parking spaces. The drivers were congregated just below our room and were boisterous and noisy. Some of the trucks were left running and also very noisy. It was supposed to be an updated suite, but with the exception of a very small area of newly tiled floor in the bathroom area there were no other updates. Did not feel safe here and barricaded the door! Not recommended!
