April Brown Motel Makeover
April Brown and Sarah Sklash first met at the University of Western Ontario and they have remained friends for over 17 years. Their friendship turned into a business partnership when they bought the motel in Prince Edward County in 2016.
It was hard work in the early days, especially because they did not have experience in the hospitality business or renovation works. Now, however, almost five years later, they have an additional location in Sauble Beach, an online shop for visitors to buy souvenirs, and a Netflix show.
Talking about the Netflix show, Motel Makeover is going to follow April and Sarah as they renovate their second motel on Sauble Beach. Motel Makeover is set to premiere on 25 August 2021.

Per sources, April Brown has a reported net worth of $1.5 million.
April’s Linkedin profile says that she is a “Motelier” and co-founder of The June Motel. Now, we know April and her best friend cum business partner Sarah are successful entrepreneurs but once they were very frustrated with life.
Since their college days and the beginning of their friendship, April and Sarah had “a bit of an entrepreneurial spirit” and were always talking about doing this or doing that. However, life was never really as easy as bouncing ideas of each other.
It took them a long time, but they eventually did it. On 1 June 2016, they bought and moved into “a dingy roadside motel in Prince Edward County called the Sportsman Motel.” The most interesting part was that they had bought an operational motel, which already had reservations and people coming in soon, and they knew nothing about running a hotel.
This is how The June Motel’s website describes the early days of April and Sarah’s journey as Motelier:
“We built the website, created an online reservation system, painted the 60’s wood paneled lobby white, replaced the horrid flower quilts with fresh white duvets and learned how to make a hotel bed. My mother cleaned the rooms while Sarah’s Dad was the onsite handyman. We had zero staff at this point…Somehow though, when the guests finally arrived, we were ready for them.”
After that first summer, when they operated the “dingy motel”, it was time to renovate the hotel and turn it into something. They had to get really creative and resourceful to pay for the renovation. It took them a lot of asking for help and the entire winter, but the next summer, i.e. June of 2017, they were ready for the opening day of The June Motel.
According to the website, the name The June Motel came from “a very long brainstorm, fueled by a bottle of wine”. And apparently, the name reminded them of “that start of summer feeling”.
That is how the first The June Motel came about. After that, the second one happened or is happening, in Sauble Beach.
Is April Brown Married?
No, April Brown is not married but she has a boyfriend. His name is Ingo Rauth, 42 years of old as of 2021, and a “career coach”. He has his own inspiration brand called School of Becoming. And apparently, Ingo is “passionate About Supporting Professionals Go From Paycheque To Purpose.”
