Plot Synopsis

MOTEL MAKEOVER is a half-hour docuseries that follows best friends April Brown and Sarah Sklash, as they run and grow a motel empire, by renovating old motor-inns and redefining the expectations of a roadside stay under the retro-chic umbrella of The June Motel. Three years earlier, the duo turned a dilapidated inn in the Great Lakes wine country into the rose-fueled The June Motel, where the ultra-Instagrammable rooms have been sold out ever since. Now, in this series, the BFFs are leaving their city lives behind in the midst of a harsh winter and moving on-site to their newly purchased property: the Knight's Inn, a 1970s-era motel in the sleepy town of Sauble Beach. Once a summer hotspot for urban holiday goers, Sauble Beach has seen better days. But its proximity to some of the most picturesque destinations in the region make this opportunity a diamond in the rough. April and Sarah are seizing their chance to be the go-to spot for sunset seekers around the world who are drawn to the breathtaking seven-mile waterfront along Lake Huron, the fourth largest lake in the world. Together with their young protege and Project Manager, Courtney Mann, these women roll up their sleeves and take on a lot of the work themselves. They have just five months and a $600K budget to finish the massive project in time to throw a jam-packed pool party to launch the summer 2020 tourist season. All six episodes of MOTEL MAKEOVER dropped on Wednesday, August 25, 2021 on Netflix.
