Well priced extra clean property, 100m from gas and convenience store. Everything works and is newish. You have to register at canoe hotel so one star off for service but on balance it is excellent with very reasonable price.

Great stay.
Everything about the stay was wonderful! Our room was clean, quiet, comfortable and newly renovated. The only downside was the clearance height required to enter the parking lot, considering the truck we brought was significantly higher than a normal car.

Room was decent and competitively priced. Room was icy cold on arrival. HVAC was noisy but effective. Hard floors took forever to warm up. Shower has limited water pressure and facilities was sent but not much changed. A more suitable shower head than a small rainfall head might make a difference. Expected more given the price a And affiliation with canoe

Exceptional Stay at Dorothy Motel
I had an exceptional experienced at the Dorothy Motel! The room was spotless, the bed was incredibly comfortable, and the staff went above and beyond to ensure my stay was perfect. The location was peaceful yet close to everything I needed. I loved the cozy outdoor area, and the hot pool—such a nice touch! I’ll definitely stay here again. Highly recommended! 👌

Stayed there for a night. Room was clean and quiet. All amenities were there. Hotel has ample parking space. Check-in check-out was smooth as well. As core downtown is around 1.5 km they provided us free transit passes without asking. Overall a nice stay.
