Nice spot for a meal - lovely views over the Passage. Good parking. Kids OK - but not a place for them to really let loose. We've usually enjoyed it here. Good for groups.

I booked here last March 2021 for 2 bedrooms and our stay is really good. Recently we book again and our experience is not good we booked for 2 nights.
Spare pillow was not been changed it smell like a man. I asked the receptionist for 2 new ones and explained to her why? She was very apologetic and even offer that she can change it. But i refused since she is busy dealing with customers. My husband took the blanket and i started to sneeze and eyes are itchy my allergies flare up. I'm not sure because of the blanket or carpet.

Although it has location and views. That is where it stopped. The mattress was not good at all. Reception is only open 9-11am and 2-5pm. No one onsite out of these hours. So on arrival, I was told if we locked ourselves out it would be a $45 fee to get security to come let you in and up to 3 hours wait. No hairdryer in room so had to wait till reception opened to get that. It was a long weekend when we stayed and the rooms were not made up. Clean towels offered and that was it. Personally when we stay in a motel I expect the room to be made up each day. It is always part of the deal. Overall -
