Motel Makeover

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Motel Makeover is a Canadian reality television series, which premiered August 25, 2021 on Netflix.[1] The series centres on Sarah Sklash and April Brown, two entrepreneurs who have purchased a decrepit motel in Sauble Beach, Ontario, and are renovating it into an upscale boutique motel.[2]

In advance of the official series premiere, two episodes were screened in a special event at the Mustang Drive-In, the duo's first boutique motel renovation in Prince Edward County.[3]

The series was produced by Boat Rocker Media through its Proper Television division.[4]

The series received three Canadian Screen Award nominations at the 10th Canadian Screen Awards in 2022, for Best Lifestyle Program or Series, Best Editing in a Documentary Program or Series (Samantha Shields) and Best Direction in a Lifestyle or Information Program or Series (Jessica Nahmias).[5]

The graphics featured on every episode are made by an outside company called NEEZO Studios.[6]
