Quiet, clean, friendly, and inexpensive little motel just off highway 97 on the northern edges of town. Very convenient and very reasonably priced. Nice professional and understanding staff who are happy to help and accomodate while giving their guests the space and privacy needed to have a comfortable stay. Very enjoyable experience and will definitely be staying there again next time I am in Quesnel over night.

My husband and I are staying here for a while, until we find a place to rent. This is a cozy space that feels like a cabin. We absolutely love it and are thrilled to be staying here. The prices are also amazing and it's pet friendly with great wifi and kitchenettes.
