If you are looking for clean, comfortable, and affordable, the Ace Motel is for you! I was very pleased with my choice. It’s an older property but has been fully renovated. There are a couple of places to eat within a block and the downtown about three blocks away. Despite being in town, the location is very quiet.

Ace Motel has lovely staff that were very helpful and attentive. From ease of check-in to the clean and spotless room, my partner and I had a very pleasant stay while passing through the charming town of Princeton. After a refreshing night's sleep in their plush and comfy beds, we were all set to resume our journey!

The room was exceptionally clean and felt recently updated. Staff were really friendly and the check-in process was very fast and smooth. What I liked most was the convenient location. It’s right in the heart of town, so I could easily walk to the local grocery store and nearby restaurants. Located on the main road yet really quiet at night.

Front desk great, rooms clean and refreshed (good flooring, half decent shower and accessories), older kitchenette, pricing a little higher than some newer fresher locations I've encountered. Bed was small but comfortable and clean. The outside of the building looks a little aged but inside we were impressed. Good central location. Seems well managed, we'd stay again if coming through.

first off the counter staff April & Christian were polite and helpful with any questions i had. The weather was a bit stormy so April suggested i park my motorcycle up against the office wall for shelter. My first impression of the room was an excellent presentation. They had added striking red bed throws at the foot of each bed. the room was spotless and updated. The a/c unit worked fabulously. I have no hesitation recommending the Ace motel to anyone. Thank you again to April Christian & staff. Scott Atkins , South Surrey B.C.

Stopped here on a whim. Was pleasantly surprised by the nice guy in the office. Very professional. The room was way nicer than I thought it would be. I’ll stay here again no question about it. Thanks again :)
