Need better lock out system, I waited outside for over an hour in the cold due to being locked out of the hall door, emergency contact or on call should be in place, bed is outdated and uncomfortable, door lock is broken, and shower stall door doesn’t fully close.

This property is in dire need of a refresh, but this is correctly reflected in the room rate. The property is clean and beds were comfortable. It's a minimalist property so keep your expectations in the appropriate range, but as a reasonably priced option, this place does the trick.
When I check in I receive my statement and a note stated the room was renovated. Upon entering the room I gather the room was renovated in the mid to late seventies.

Not a fan of the smoking right outside the door with the door propped open. With the number of cameras, this feels like something that could be addressed
The window next to the entry was broken and the worn tape indicated that the window had been broken for some time. The door to the room fitted poorly and the chain lock broken. It took several minutes for hot water to flow from the shower and a large clump of black hair was stuck on the shower wall. In the morning someone was asleep in the hallway. All in all, not a good experience!
Super clean room with personal touches. Pillows are a bit thin so bring your own if you want fluffy ones. Motel is full so diagonal parking is full/crowded. Great location with friendly and easy check-in.
Room was convenient. The rooms was a different story. The bed was hard the pillows were flat the TV and satellite box were unplugged. There was used soaps and towels in the bathroom, front desk did not care. It was key entry. You can hear your neighbors watching TV or other things.

Good place to stay. Restaurant and gas station/store as part of complex. Rooms a little dated but clean and comfortable. Parking on site could get a little tight in busy times.
The motel is very well located. Near the lake, gas station is right there along with a very good restaurant.
The only part that was a turn off was the $200 damage deposit which was returned on our card 2 days later. We stayed in over 15 motels in our 3 weeks trip to the Maritimes from Calgary and it was the only motel that needed a damage deposit.
