Beautiful, simple and brilliant
The decor and the space is amazing. We loved the details and how brilliant every corners were turned into something useful.
We appreciated the little attentions including the personalized welcome note, the apothecary products and the signature coffee and tea.
The staff was very friendly and helpful. You really turned the place in something beautiful. It is a wonderful idea to displayed locally / Canadian made products.
Here's a few points of recommendation:
The listing says there is a kitchenette. It would be nice to include cutlery, plates and a few kitchen items such a cutting board.
Also, the rate per night for bringing a pup is overpriced and deceiving. To charge $40 per night doesn't make any sense, since the cleaning needs to be done regardless of having a fur friend - especially with COVID. Also, we don't understand why charge it per night since the cleaning is only done at departure. We would prefer to pay a deposit in case our dog would break something. Note, that like a lot of people, we bring our dog with us only because we know he is good, quiet and non destructive.
Finally, even if it is beautiful and the simple aesthetic is brilliant it stays a motel. You can hear the neighbor talk quite a bit and privacy feels sometime lessen (it remains a motel not a cabin in the wood). Maybe better isolation and privacy screen on the sidewalks help to feel more private. We are local to Ottawa Valley and wanted a gateway. The price point is too high for longer stay.
