Well this place needs some TLC. It’s old and run down. My room was above another with tenant slamming the door all day and night long until almost 4 AM. Lots of people coming and going. I didn’t get much sleep.

The room stank so we purchased some incense. The carpet was filthy and clearly not been vacuumed for a long time because when you walked on it bear foot loads of crap stuck to our feet. The door to the balcony was broken so had a broom handle to keep it secure. Then there was the bathroom which was tired and in need of attention. What was also concerning was thier use of blue towels which clearly one cant check for cleanliness unlike white ones. Not good at all!

Motel is situated at the north end of Williams lake and we were lucky to have a room with a balcony overlooking the water. The motel attendant was pleasant and accommodating.

There was nothing about this property that I liked its run down and worn out, the pictures and reviews are misleading at best, they are taking money under false pretences, stay here at your own risk.
