The Dorothy Motel was excellent. Comfortable beds and clean. The parking was free and you could either walk into town 15mins or get a free bus by using a card the hotel gave us. The hot spa pools were lovely in the canoe hotel which was part of the motel group and free to use. Good value for money and we would stay again.

Excellent stay. Check in desk just across the road in canoe suites. Right next to gas station and convenience store. Only ~2km from main downtown area. They give complimentary roam bus passes. The rooms are new and have all amenities. The small courtyard is also cute.
