It’s what’s on the inside that counts!!!
Very very very clean. My room right up to date with modern amenities and actually more amenities than your normal room would have. Lights under the frame of the bed to name one. Check in was a little inconvenient (had to go to different hotel for keys). The outside isn’t too bad for a motel. Don’t let it fool you…….. it’s probably the best and most clean motel I’ve ever stayed in hands down.

The hotel room itself was okay. We only paid $130 for the night so for the price it worked. But I wouldn’t pay more. Check in was weird. Had to download an app in order to check in but then had to drive to Cariboo Hotel to get the card key anyways so it wasn’t so convenient. Room was clean and the place is quiet. But not much around or to do.
