The property was recently renovated and it is very nice! It suited the 3 of us well. The only issue was we smelled mold as soon as we opened the door. It seemed to be coming from the bedroom area. We also would have preferred a fridge versus a wine chiller. But this place was amazing! We loved how roomy, clean and quiet it was.

Clean and comfortable. Even though it was self check in, owner responded quickly to inquiries. Family suite was great, though friends who booked the single room found it a bit cramped.

I almost don't want to give it a rating because I lived how quiet it was, but it's lovely. It's been lovingly renovated and a short walk to everything. I've already booked another booking!

South Shore Mitel- try it; you will love it!

For an unmanned office the check in was simple with clear instructions. The room was comfortable, clean, spacious and the kitchenette well equipped with utensils. The property was topped off with easy access to a nature reserve and trail through a great stream side forest.

Lovely little motel! Very clean and comfortable. Was a 10 min walk to downtown shops, restaurants, and the river tubing. Self check-in was a breeze. Although there’s no front desk/lobby the motel is available by phone. Someone was there shortly after we checked in and made sure everything was all good as we were heading out for a walk. Definitely would stay here again!
