We found this a nice place to stay. Older motel that has had upgrades. Clean and the staff were really nice. Cat friendly which is important to us. Good place to stay in Duncan. We would certainly return.

Awesome staff!! :)
This motel used to be a dump, unsafe, and I normally wouldn’t stay here, however, the new owners that took over just over a year ago, have made it so much better!
Rooms have been renovated & look great.
The beds are comfortable.
There is a security gate from 12am to 5am to block anyone from going in or out of the property (they will open it if you need to leave)
I travel alone and my last THREE trips I have made to the Cowichan Valley, I have stayed here.
HIGHLY recommend 😁

Fluffy bedding
Motel in a quiet residential part of town, but walkable to downtown. My room was recently refurbished and had the loveliest newest fluffiest bedding of any motel in B.C.!!

It needs some paint and the bathrooms were clean, but falling apart basically. Even the walls were marked up and the floors weren't clean
