White Caps Motel

White Caps Motel

8/10 Good
"This was an excellent place for an overnight stay. The room seemed to be recently renovated with new flooring, tiles in the shower/ bathroom and walls with fresh paint. For a budget type person this is the right place for the value. Do not expect any extra amentities such as microwave oven, big mini frigerator or any coffee maker in the room. Also, there was no ice maker available that we were aware of on the premises. The rain shower was nice and hot which made it a great way to start off the day. The only negative thing was that the bed mattress was not comfortable in which I woke up with a minor back ache the next morning. Overall, I would stay here again overnight because of the convenient location, budget friendly and cleanliness of the place."
