It was very convenient for the Swim Meet we were attending at the Duncan Aquatic Centre. It was close to eating establishments, and easy to find and exit. SO GLAD the Air Conditioning was really good !! Very Hot weekend, and coming back to the room was a big sigh of relief !!

Wish I had a bit more time to explore Duncan. It was a pretty intensive weekend at the pool, and all I really wanted to do once done the day was head to my room, have a both, and get a good night's sleep in a wonderfully cool room.

The location was very convenient to the Cowichan Secondary School, where I had wanted to go for meetings.

On the second day of my stay, there were some ants that appeared in the room.

Nice to have laminate flooring not carpet. Room and beds were very clean. Good central location, and walkable if you need to get a snack or coffee nearby.

One queen bed was very worn and soft, but we could share the good bed. Bit of sound bleed from the partiers below us, but if we kept the fan/heater on then we couldn't hear them.

Was breakfast included? If so nobody mentioned it to us!

We had noisy people in the unit above us and the guests a few units away from us were outside talking for hours.

Need to advertise better. Repair your neon signs. It gives the wrong impression. It's a perfect place to stay. We loved our first motel experience!
