Pretty nice old motel

Room was good, swimming pool the kids loved to play in, common area with bochi ball/cornhole/yard zee was fun, bbq area is a great thing to have they just need too be cleaned out. The beds were uncomfortable is the worst part. The location is great and we would stay here again even though the beds are not that comfortable.

The Bowmont is a great for gathering groups, with the common dining/cooking area. The location is unbeatable, right across from Loco Landing and a block from the beach, but not along the main beach (less walking traffic.) Downsides: the building is old (example - anyone using water in your unit or other units turns the water scalding); the office being closed after 6pm is sometimes inconvenient; sound travels well when groups hang out outside late - but all of that is fine as long as you're prepared.

Well situated with a pool

Although a little older (my wife remembers staying here as a teenager) it was clean. A previous guest had stolen the HDMI cable for the tv (yes we have Netflix on my iPad and laptop) but once informed they came quickly to fix. Steps from the beach, bike rentals and some good restaurants. Starbucks and Tim Hortons also also not far.

Some rooms are renovated, and we asked to be moved to a renovated room because we were staying for 4 nights. The owner was very accomodating. The rooms are very clean. Pool is nice and clean.
