The motel was nice, clean and quiet for a short trip of one night stay. Janet, one of the staff, was super friendly and gave us lots of information about the area. I recommend this motel as it’s very close to Tobermory around 30minutes and you can explore Lion’s Head as well.

I like the back of the motel, it has a table there, and the view there is pretty good. We booked two rooms, but the smell in the rooms was so bad, and the neighbour was pretty loud in the morning too.
