This place is super clean! The grounds are well kept...lots of pretty landscaping. Excellent areas for the dog to be walked. Felt super safe here. We left all of our gear i the bed of truck, something we don't do very often!

We have stayed there 3 times in the last 2 months. The rooms are ALWAYS clean, cleaner than most places The rooms are all nice! The owners are awesome! Val and her husband remembered us (though I do stand out in a crowd a bit) after the first stay. I can tell you this: If there was something unsatisfactory with a room I feel Val would truly be upset, that is the type of people they are. I would stay here over a large chain hotel ANYTIME! First choice for sure. (not for nothing, I dislike writing reviews and I am going out of my way because this place was that good)

I had called to book a room and was answered by the owner. She was very sweet! I had called to see if we could park at the motel while we were in town and the room was ready, almost 4 hours ahead of time! The room was very clean and one of the nicest motel bathrooms I have ever seen. There was a mini fridge and microwave as well, as well as a keurig machine. The room was immaculate and very very clean! If you need a place to stay in Canandaigua, I recommend this motel. Short drive to downtown Canandaigua and local beaches and Canandaigua Lake. Thanks for an awesome stay!

I stayed in the king jacuzzi suite and it was delightful! The owners were so sweet and accommodating - making sure I had everything I needed while solo traveling. And that tub! So relaxing, I think I spent about three hours just soaking. Facilities were very clean and well maintained, and the little coffee nook was a sweet bonus. I will definitely be coming back.

This place is a hidden gem! Valerie was such an amazing person to meet. Her and her husband take so much pride in this place and it showed! I knew my experience was going to be amazing when I walked in the office and was met with her amazing and welcoming hospitality personality. Then I walked into our room and was absolutely blown away! Absolutely breathtaking how beautiful it was. I felt like I walked into a 5 star celebrity hotel! I had such an amazing night! Would like to add the room was insanely clean. The jacuzzi and everything worked like a charm and the bed/bedding was so comfy! PLEASE book a stay here I promise you won’t be disappointed!

This Motel is obviously a labor of love. The owners are genuine and wonderful. You will not find a cleaner room than you do here. If you're looking to keep your hard earned money in the local economy, try this place. We just live down the road and needed a night away. This place is perfect.
