I stay at McIvers every year when I make the trek across the country to see family. Always a good stay. Clean, comfortable, and the staff is always helpful and courteous. They are pet friendly too which I appreciate. Bonus, Tim Horton's is only 5 minutes down the road, lol.

I had one of the best sleeps in months at the motel. And the tub was just what I needed at the end of a long day of travel.Tyler and his dad were very welcoming. The bed was SUPER comfortable and I appreciated the fridge, microwave, and tv. I would definitely stay there again! Highly recommend.

Wonderful location, family owned business that's been operated by them for over 77 years. The room was very clean, as was the bathroom. Service was great! I plan to return whenever I travel that area. Oh, and there were three beautiful cranes that wander the property!

Old school, drive up motel. Very retro, but brings about the vibes of a pleasant nostalgia. Room was clean and serviceable. Limited amenities, but Tim’s was only 5 minutes away for morning coffee. We enjoyed sitting out with a beer, watching the sun set over the Spanish River.
