4.8 Mediocre
Pros:Very clean, good check in time.
Cons:The room was very drafty probably due to poorly insulated walls. The TV remote wouldn't allow to adjust the volume, and to top it all off, the continental breakfast that we were really hoping to utilized got cancelled due to a worker not showing up. I couldn't understand why the owner of the place just couldn't step up and lay out what was needed to serve her guest. Instead she did nothing and then decided to place blame on an employee. That was our first experience at Departure Bay Motel, and most definitely our last.
