    We stayed in a ground floor apartment with spa. Great size. Loved the thermal pool at the Motor Lodge, especially as we were staying in Winter so it was quite cold outside but the pool definitely warmed us up. Very clean rooms and you can see the decor has been updated/refreshed recently. The rooms were also very warm due to thermal under floor heating. Would absolutely stay here again especially with the lake front views that the motel offers.

    Excellent location and extremely kind staff who went above and beyond to help us out. We had a parcel go missing that was directed to the motel and they were so patient, kind and helpful in doing what they could to resolve the issue. The rooms have great cooking facilities for a motel, and housekeeping were non-intrusive with times. Free parking and a good amount of free wi-fi was also exciting.
