Asure Ashley Motor Lodge

Canadian wandererThis motel is very clean with large rooms. The owner was very friendly upon check in and when we had a question about the heat he responded immediately. The only drawback is that there are no dine in restaurants within walking distance. There is a small take out Chinese restaurant close which seemed a bit odd the way it was run, but the food we had was really good.

As a place to rest for a short break on the road, it is relatively simple. It is very close to Caroline Beach. It is not very convenient to walk to the town center. It is not very far to see the blue penguin.

The location of motel is nice n clean also very convenient, there is a park behind and a short walk to lighthouse, Caroline Bay a longer walk. Just a short drive to Oxford resturant and we enjoy a good dinner there. Breakfast the next morning is at station cafe beside the train station… there are also small shopping shops around although is a Sunday.

tommy_dejoNice room, it was exactly like the pictures and description. Price performance value was good, they turned the heater on before arrival and there was a heated blanked. Friendly and very helpful staff and you can park infornt of your room. Only negative thing was the little hole in the window in the bathroom. I wish you and your family the best.
