Colonial Lodge Motel
Our two bed unit was clean and well appointed. It was well out of the way of the main units so it was quiet. The kitchen had everything we needed.

Heritage Court Lodge
I wasn't so sure about this place when we arrived but we ended up having a very nice stay here. The bathroom was huge. The master bedroom had a comfy beds and the heated mattress pad was outstanding! My friends were in the second bedroom and she didnt like that her bed was against an outside wall ...
