This is a very charming little motel and we loved staying there. It is very clean as well. My only complaint is that room cleaning service was not as great. But the staff at the mother hotel Canoe were great.

Cute cozy rooms with warm lighting. We had access to the hot pools of their sister hotel, which was amazing! Right behind Route 1 bus stop, and they gave us complementary bus tickets for the duration of our stay. We had an excellent stay. :)
