Not your typical motel

Our room was spacious and the bathroom, specifically the shower, was enormous. The bed was also extremely comfortable.

Very good motel. It seemed like it may have been recently refurbished. It is not self service check in but you check in at the sister hotel just across the road which was efficient and easy. Friendly staff. You can also use the facilities at the sister hotel. Bus stop right outside if you don't want the walk in town. Very pleasant and easy stay.

Uncomfortable Sleep

Everything was perfect except for the pillows. They were a bit stiff and ended up hurting my neck. Would not stay again only because of this. There are a lot of hotel options in the area that I would rather try. I paid $350 for a night. Wouldn't pay more than $280 for this one.

The Dorothy hotel

The Dorothy was a great place to stay. Large spacious quiet room. Comfortable. We did have a slight maintenance problem and we just went across the street to the Canoe hotel and they responded quickly. It’s a self service hotel so there’s no office but they are affiliated with the Canoe hotel so no problem. Bring your own tea/coffee as there’s a kettle /cups in room but not tea or coffee. I missed that
