Close to ferry, easy to get to just a bed for a night not too bad
Robin, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Old motel. Price is expensive. Front door knob broken. Hard to use the key. Washroom sink knob rusty and broken. No aircon. Check out, front desk not available. Parking is free, but going in and out is a downhill/uphill challenge. Coffee maker is old and dirty.

4/10 Fair

Just a dirty small room for 100$ no tub, no shampoo an old saggy bed, no coffee maker, not worth the money.
Phillip, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

This property is very economical and affordable. They upgraded my room without any extra cost. The owner is awesome and helpful. I will definitely visit again.

10/10 Exceptional

Brian and the owner are amazing and very friendly. Very Hospitable. We have nothing to say but all great things about our stay here.
Leah, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Owner was extremely accommodating and understanding with our late check in. He upgraded our room to make our room easier to find if he was unavailable when we arrived. Location was very convenient to catch the ferry to Digby. The room suited our needs- close to the ferry for early departure the following morning.

Nope

It was advertised and a quaint little roadside inn, but when we got there it was dilapidated and unkempt. Looked more like a hostel type establishment. The owner was nice but we only stayed one night because it was sketchy and I didn’t feel safe.
Megan, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

While the manager was friendly, the room was pathetic. Not only very small, but in serious need of a major overhaul. From doors to shower stall to window and curtains, toilet, walls, and more, the room we were in, #7, should not be rented out in its current condition.
Gary, 1-night trip

Property and condition is poorly no conditioner
Elton, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

The room we were given reeked of cat urine and there was a hornet’s nest right by the door - my husband was stung. We asked for another room, we’re given one, but for a “renovated room” is was very low class.
Gloria, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Would be nice if there’s a screen at the door coz lots of mosquitoes and flies, u have to get in very quickly. At night time & morning No hot water when we showered- water so cold (5deg C) . I have to call the office in the morning, they said be patient lots of people using it but after 5 mins we had extremely hot water. I believe they are controlling this.Wifi not working, no issue for us co we have data plan. Cleanliness 90:/:.

Not much of a motel Very dated and could definitely use a make over but rooms were clean and bed very comfortable Staff are very friendly Lovely view.

2/10 Poor

Disgusting!!!!

I have no problem with old hotels and don’t expect gold; however dirt-lined door frames, a bathroom gerbarator (a pump that chews up your toilet waste and pumps it out due to being below sewer grade) that made the room smell like we were sleeping in an outhouse; was definitely NOT worth the stop! They made you prepay for your room before giving you the keys and then never came back to the office when you wanted to speak to them (an office in which was locked and you had to buss for service)! Now I understand why!!! Convenient but disgusting!

Horrible

Not the same as pictures shown on website. Screen door did not close. And bottom pane off track. Bathroom door didn't close. No room to walk between bed and walk. Had to crawl in from end of bed. No place to hang towels. No hangars. No tea or coffee provided. There was a coffee pot. Small bottle of shampoo, no conditioner or bath wash. After getting out of shower walked to bed. My feet were black. Filthy floors obviously. Upon arrival we were told the room was an upgrade. What a joke. Ridiculous. Bed reasonably comfortable, towels clean. Not happy.
