Oct 1, 2024 Liked: Check-in, location #### Would not stay here again Place smelled bad when I came in Tv didn’t work Very minimal kitchen equipment No shower curtain One mirror in whole place was so high I could only see the top of my head Advertised as waterfront but looked out into a parking lot Really awful lighting Big sign in kitchen saying all dishes to be done and rubbish removed but still charged a $65 cleaning fee Pros Was very close to waterfront once I got outside Bed was surprisingly comfortable Bed was ##### Susannah S. Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lay Eng Audrey Jan 11, 2026 Great location, short walk to town centre. The bed was comfortable. I paid to stay at this motel wasn’t cheap. The price I paid the same for other motels are much better. I asked to change the bath towels and clear the rubbish bins, I was told that I had to pay. Hmm... The slidling door bottom rail was so dirty. It looked like it hadn't been cleaned for mamy months or years. Kitchen window I couldn't opened it as there were tons of ants. I rang the receptionist and letted the lady know. The kitchen drawers were old and needed some attentions. The kitchen doesn't have a cooking stove, only a microwave. Luckily, we brought our electric frypan to cook. Good experience. ##### Lay Eng Audrey Stayed 3 nights in Jan 2026 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Nomads Rest](https://www.expedia.ca/Lake-Tekapo-Hotels-Nomads-Rest.h27954748.Hotel-Information) > > [Beach Hotel in El Salvador](https://www.expedia.ca/Destinations-In-El-Salvador-Beach-Hotel.0-0-d53-tBeachHotel.Hotel-Filter-Destinations) > > [Sonesta ES Suites Anaheim Resort Area](https://www.expedia.ca/Anaheim-Hotels-Sonesta-ES-Suites-Anaheim-Resort-Area.h846133.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in L'Anse-au-Clair](https://www.expedia.ca/LAnse-Au-Clair-Hotels.d181829.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Residence Inn by Marriott at Anaheim Resort/Convention Cntr](https://www.expedia.ca/Anaheim-Hotels-Residence-Inn-By-Marriott-At-Anaheim-ResortConvention-Cntr.h9476.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Express & Suites Allen Park by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Detroit-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-Suites-Allen-Park.h23830566.Hotel-Information) > > [Radisson Blu 1882 Hotel, Barcelona Sagrada Familia](https://www.expedia.ca/Barcelona-Hotels-Hotel-Barcelona-1882.h29700999.Hotel-Information) > > [Grand Riviera Princess - All Inclusive ](https://www.expedia.ca/Playa-Del-Carmen-Hotels-Grand-Riviera-Princess-All-Inclusive.h2661557.Hotel-Information) > > [Auberge de la Montagne Coupée](https://www.expedia.ca/Saint-Jean-De-Matha-Hotels-Auberge-De-La-Montagne-Coupee.h2822412.Hotel-Information) > > [#17 Tanglewood Pl - 2bd 2bth BEACH FRONT 2-level unit - Beach, sun, sand & relax](https://www.expedia.ca/Parksville-Hotels-17-Tanglewood-Pl-2bd-2bth-BEACH-FRONT-2-Level-Unit-Beach.h57131426.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Mystays Premier Akasaka](https://www.expedia.ca/Tokyo-Hotels-HOTEL-MYSTAYS-PREMIER-Akasaka.h15197839.Hotel-Information) > > [Best Western Plus Lamplighter Inn & Conference Centre](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-Best-Western-Plus-Lamplighter-Inn-Conference-Centre.h22270.Hotel-Information) > > [Canad Inns Destination Centre Fort Garry](https://www.expedia.ca/Winnipeg-Hotels-Canad-Inns-Destination-Centre-Fort-Garry.h52976.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flair Airlines](https://www.expedia.ca/Flair-Airlines-Flights.cF8.Travel-Guide-Airlines) > > [Flights from Mississauga (YYZ) to Calgary (YYC)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/yyc/toronto-to-calgary) > > [Flights from Calgary (YYC) to Hounslow (LHR)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyc/lhr/calgary-to-london) > > [Flights from Ottawa (YOW) to Greensboro (GSO)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yow/gso/ottawa-to-greensboro) > > [Flights from Mississauga (YYZ) to Cancun (CUN)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/cun/toronto-to-cancun) > > [Flights from Calgary (YYC) to Krabi (KBV)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyc/kbv/calgary-to-krabi) > > [Flights from Mississauga (YYZ) to Ponta Delgada (PDL)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/pdl/toronto-to-ponta-delgada) > > [Flights from Calgary (YYC) to San Francisco (SFO)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyc/sfo/calgary-to-san-francisco) ### Activities ### Packages > [Orlando Vacations](https://www.expedia.ca/Orlando.d178294.Destination-Travel-Guides)
