The Mighty Fraser Motel above the river of the same name just north of Boston Bar, BC. It is paired with Fat Jack's Pub, both of which are reasonably priced.
The place is somewhat dated, but clean and in good repair. I'll avoid an overly-wordy review and just list the basics:
Cleanliness:
Very good. All rooms are smoke-free, but all of them have a small ashtray sitting on the air conditioners outside the door for your use. They don't discriminate against smokers, just don't want the smoke in the rooms.
Amenities:
Decent. TV (I didn't use it), microwave, small refer, WiFi is available, but I didn't sign up for it. Oddly, there was a small table, but no chair. There is a small air conditioner in the window, but there was no need for it.
Bathroom:
Basic - it did have a screened window that made for a nice cross-breeze.
Shower:
Not so hot. The water couldn't decide whether to gush or dribble out of the shower head, so it sort of did both. If you stand directly under it, you can get wet.
Location:
Very nice. It's fairly quiet, or was when I was there. It has a view of the river that is more peak-a-boo than expansive, but it's pleasant. There is a large fire pit with rough log benches that would be great for sitting out under the stars.
People:
I met Todd, the owner (and chef at Fat Jack's). He's a very likable guy, very friendly and easy to chat with. If I hadn't been so tired I probably would have stayed up and chatted with him a while longer.
Price:
For the location, not bad at all.
I would definitely stay here again.
(Note: The motel didn't have a listing so I created it - and typed the name. It should be 'The Mighty Fraser Motel', not 'Faser'.) read more
