Christena is like a breath of fresh air, customer service at its finest! Wish they had hairdryer and at least some semblance of a continental breakfast (good that there’s a Tim Hortons nearby!)

I stayed for 3 nights and it was so relaxing to have the lake and mountains view when you wake up, very quiet no loud noises and super friendly stuff and the best part it is that there are very pet friendly and you also can use the laundry facilities. Management is very friends also. I’m staying again very soon and I feel that this will be my a must go motel while I need it . Great stay highly recommended.
