I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms were spacious and offered a nice spa bath outside, which was a great touch. However, I found the cleanliness to be lacking in several areas, and the staff at reception could definitely use some training in customer service. The location was decent, but the noise from the busy road nearby was a bit bothersome, especially at night.

I had a mixed experience at this motel. While the room was clean and tidy, the traffic noise from the main highway was overwhelming, especially at night. The amenities provided were decent, but the Wi-Fi connection was quite frustrating. If you’re looking for a quiet getaway, this might not be the right choice.

I had an overall great weekend at Birchwood Spa Motel! The hosts were incredibly welcoming and made me feel at home. The location was perfect for attending the Raggamuffin festival, although the rooms could use some updates. It's a comfortable and clean place if you're looking for budget-friendly accommodations, but don't expect luxury here.

We had a wonderful stay at this motel. The cleanliness and coziness of the location were standout features, and it was perfect for accessing nearby attractions. We loved the comfortable rooms and the helpful owners. However, the spa bath experience was a bit misleading as it didn’t have jets and was more like a large bathtub. Also, the noise from the main road was a bit bothersome, especially during the night.

The rooms were cozy, clean, and featured a comfortable king bed along with a single bed in the living area, though the spa bath was not quite what we expected.

My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The unit I was in was clean and well-equipped, but it was right by a busy street, making it hard to sleep due to the noise, especially at night. On the plus side, the private spa bath was a great touch. However, the Wi-Fi was quite slow and frustrating to use, which also detracted from the experience overall.
