Reviews

Highly recommend this motel (although we expected a hotel)

by Eileen K

We enjoyed our stay at the Zen Hotel, although at first glance it was a bit of a surprise. When we drove up to the address, we were puzzled that the Zen was not a hotel but a motel. We had expected a full-service hotel. We received a first-floor room, because we didn’t want to carry our luggage up to a second-floor room.

After we were settled in our room, we couldn’t be more pleased at the comfort, spaciousness, and cleanliness of our room. We received bottles of water and several tasty snacks, as well. Breakfast in the reception area was much better than most hotel buffets. Instead of the typical waffle maker, they provided a pancake maker. Try the pancakes---they are quite good! The décor and landscape warrant the “Zen” name. Quite nice. We’d return.

Absolutely Lovely! Highly Recommend!

Absolutely lovely hotel with fantastic staff, facilities and service! Our favourite hotel from our month away! Lots of 'extras' which helped it to stand out, such as complimentary snacks, a beautiful breakfast with everything you could think of, washer/dryer facilities, safe/secure, lovely rooms inside and out. We wish we could have stayed for longer!
