Not a usual Comfort Inn. Cabin like attached to another renter next door. The walls were thin. Bed was not very comfortable. Overall, okay

Lovely location with seaside within 1 min and a stream just next to our apartment. Loved the birds and sunset viewing. Minimal road noise in unit 5.
Clean room. Comfortable beds. Newly renovated bathroom and toilet.
Full kitchen appliances and shared BBQ facilities. It just lacks some cooking utensils: baking dish to use in the oven, big salad bowl and a cover for the frying pan.
Owner was very accommodating - She let us check in without pre-payment as we arrived late.
Thames is a pretty little town.
We enjoyed our stay. Highly recommended.

Had a great 1 night stay. Our kids (4 &2) enjoyed having a lawn right outside to play on and the beach so close. Place was clean, modern, comfortable beds and couches. Will come back here next time we're in Thames

Old resort cabins. Bathroom small and outdated. No staff. No view. Closest store was a bait shop.

Good location just out of town. Beach out front of the motel with lovely views of the sunset over the beach. Comfortable bed, electric blanket, good shower pressure, was able to watch the rugby game on tv because there was Sky Sport and movies in the room. Host had turned heat pump on prior to visit and text instructions on key.
lovely convenient motel situated at the edge of Thames. Beautiful scenery particulalry the wading birds on the beach in the morning.

We always have a great stay at Sunset Motel. Check in is always a breeze with self check in. Diane (manager) is super lovely, always keen for a chat and helps out if we ever need anything. All the staff are great, very respectful of privacy especially during turnover service. Location is brilliant, clear view to the water if you are keen on fishing and need to check what’s happening. Reserve right next door if you bring your pup for exercise. Just a great property to relax or get away.

The beds are super comfy! Air conditioning after. Hot day of hiking was so appreciated!
The owners were delightful and ready to fix any issues that Came up!
Loved this little find!
