We requested one room as we were only there for the night, it was after midnight and we were leaving first thing in the morning. We do this trip every year all over North America and have always shared a double occupancy room without issue.
The manager advised us that due to Covid, we could not do this. We told him we were all from the same family, had been travelling together for the last couple of days and that Covid wasn't an issue.
He then said it was a fire code violation. It is not. He said that if there were a fire that getting four of us out of one room would be too difficult. We pointed out that getting us out of two locations (as the rooms he was providing were not near one another) seemed to be more of an obstacle than one location.
We were tired and just rented two rooms. The difference in the rooms was startling. One room appeared to have all brand new linens and was very clean. I was pleased.
The other room was old, smelled musty and the linens were very stained and very old. When we opened the fridge, the strong smell of "rotten pepperoni"immediately filled the room to where we all had to go to the nicer room while it aired out. It was pungent.
We were also able to clearly hear the people in the room next to us speaking. When they were in their shower it was as loud as if we were in our own.
Do not use the shampoo if you have coloured hair. It completely stripped all the colour from one of us. She said that when she rinsed the shampoo out, the colour was as though she were rinsing freshly dyed hair. I realize that using motel shampoo is risky but because we were separated, the sister with the shampoo (me) was in the other room and at 6 am she decided it would be fine. It was not.
The view is very nice.



-opening doors, closing doors
-people walking up and down the stairs to the second level
-people drinking beer in the plastic chairs outside our window late into the night
-a domestic fight which broke out at midnight
-the arguing couple's screaming children
-the arguing couple's makeup session (thankfully shortlived)
This was not high season and I think maybe 3 other rooms were occupied. The room was clean and the tv worked but otherwise I would not recommend this motel.
Price was reasonable for a king bed. But the room # 103, was on second floor with a narrow and steep stairway. So narrow that climbing up with luggage in both hands was tricky. My wife tripped on the top stair and went down face first on the landing. No harm done.
The room had a nice comfortable bed but was badly dated and not attractive at all. Fridge door cracked, door frame to bath room broken, but the bath room floor and walls seemed newly tiled and pretty. Good water pressure in shower. Large t.v. worked well, seemed new. Perhaps efforts are being made to upgrade units. The unit needs carpet update. A/C noisy and bothersome but worked well. I sat on the chair and wife said "Be careful" The dowels holding legs to frame had come out and a complete chair collapse was imminent. I shoved it together and left a note for owner to fix it. Saddest of all, when I made coffee in the morning, there was an old coffee packet in the machine. One can only presume the cleaning staff were not thorough.
Nice to have 2 chairs on deck to enjoy the view. There are no ice machines but owner/operator came up with a baggie of cubes.
Owner/operators quite friendly and helpful, but over all, I would pass on this motel. If you look at owner supplied photos of the grounds you will think it is splendid, but, photos do not tell whole story about this place. The pretty stone seating area is completely overgrown with weeds and unusable. Not shown are the crumbling brick BBQs and shaky hand railing at the dock, nor the difficult stairway to second level.
Not for me again.
