History

The current owners of the Beau Rivage Motel have been in business for four years and plan to continue running the motel for years to come. The Beau Rivage Motel was initially built in 1966 to function as a motel. Since then, it was passed down through four generations by the family that first opened it. The current owner decided to enter the lodging industry after working a few other jobs throughout his career. After purchasing the motel, he and his family began running it and have done so for four years. Since they first got the property, they have made some changes. All of the carpets were removed from the rooms and replaced with wooden floors. They have also modernized the motel by changing the decorations. Future plans for the motel include upgrading the bathrooms in the more popular units and getting new doors for the more frequently used rooms.
