South Shore Mitel- try it; you will love it!

For an unmanned office the check in was simple with clear instructions. The room was comfortable, clean, spacious and the kitchenette well equipped with utensils. The property was topped off with easy access to a nature reserve and trail through a great stream side forest.

Lovely little motel! Very clean and comfortable. Was a 10 min walk to downtown shops, restaurants, and the river tubing. Self check-in was a breeze. Although there’s no front desk/lobby the motel is available by phone. Someone was there shortly after we checked in and made sure everything was all good as we were heading out for a walk. Definitely would stay here again!

Credit card was charged and we didn’t get any check in information. Tried calling the number with no answer or option to leave a voicemail. Suspect this place is a scam.
