Property Overview
The King's Motel is a downtown Shaunavon hospitality property comprised of guest accommodations plus a bar/tavern area, restaurant/dining area, and a commercial kitchen. The improvements reflect multiple construction eras and a mixed systems layout, with evident deferred maintenance and areas of significant water damage. This offering is best suited to a buyer prepared for a repair-and-recommissioning project, with the upside of an established hospitality footprint in a C1 Downtown Commercial zone.
Improvements and Layout
The main building contains the bar/tavern area, restaurant/dining portion, washrooms, and a commercial kitchen. A walk-in cooler is present, along with various stainless prep surfaces and kitchen equipment (see Chattels note). The bar area includes a former VLT area (machines removed) and a pool table area. Signage observed includes LED signage elements and a metal sign can. The property also includes an owner/operator suite (2 bedrooms, full kitchen, living room, office area, and 1.5 baths). Based on the current layout, there is no dedicated front counter area; room check-ins/bookings appear to have been handled from the bar area.
Accommodations
- Courtyard Wing (Rooms 112-121 | 10 units): These units were noted as the most serviceable portion of the accommodations at the February inspection, with individual heat pumps providing heat. Typical cosmetic wear was noted in some rooms (scuffs, minor wall damage, a missing deadbolt in at least one unit).
- Interior Rooms (Rooms 1-11 | 11 units): These rooms are impacted by a non-operational boiler / boiler-heated system and other repairs. Several rooms show water damage and finish deterioration. One interior room is noted as having mold (Room 2).
Utilities and Mechanical (observed / reported)
- Water: currently disconnected
- Power & Natural Gas: active and working at time of inspection (buyer to verify)
- Heating: forced-air natural gas serving bar/restaurant portions; boiler/hot-water heating serving interior room areas (boiler noted as not working); courtyard wing rooms use individual heat pumps
- Hot Water: multiple hot water tanks/heaters noted; configuration between interior areas vs. bar/restaurant is not fully confirmed
Condition and Damage Notes (February inspection)
This property has material deferred maintenance and active/legacy water damage in multiple areas. The following items are notable and should be treated as repair priorities and/or due diligence items:
- Boiler / interior heating: boiler noted as not working, impacting the interior room block. Interior rooms are expected to require heating repair/replacement and recommissioning.
- Water intrusion / roof concerns: roof-related leakage is suspected in portions of the main building. The main roof appears older with significant patching observed. Damage in some ground-level areas is also suspected to relate to past radiator freeze events and resulting water damage.
- Interior room damage: multiple interior rooms show water damage and finish deterioration (staining, damaged drywall/ceilings). Room 2 is specifically noted as having water damage and mold, with peeling paint/drywall.
- Commercial kitchen: extensive ceiling water damage noted, including a partial collapse area and evidence of prior repair attempts. One fire hood noted with visible rust.
- Bar area: water staining noted on multiple ceiling tiles. Fire exit door is boarded shut. Additional doors were also observed as boarded for security purposes.
- Basement / foundation: basement used heavily for storage at time of inspection. Floor crowning was noted in areas, and concrete wall surfaces show cracking and deterioration; the extent (surface vs. structural) is not confirmed from a visual walk-through.
- Courtyard wing exterior: asphalt shingles noted with a localized area of lifting/curling at a back corner (no interior damage was noted in that area at time of inspection).
