David, 1-night trip

2/10 Terrible

I like the back of the motel, it has a table there, and the view there is pretty good. We booked two rooms, but the smell in the rooms was so bad, and the neighbour was pretty loud in the morning too.
Lini, 1-night trip

6/10 Okay

The property was spacious for our family. It was deathly hot as they do not have any air conditioning and it was 30 plus humidex. Despite that we enjoyed our stay. It was very 1980 ish retro style. Overall a nice stay but definitely could use new furnishings and a good reno. Bring towels as they do not provide them.

Good value and nice convenient place to stay.
carol, 1-night trip

2/10 Terrible

I had a really terrible experience with this motel. I was able to “check in”, even though there is no staff on site. This is where the problems really began. Since there is no staff on site, if you have an issue, you are going to have an even bigger issue getting it resolved. The toilet in my room had its chain disconnected, and to fix that, you had to know how toilets work and stick your hand in a tank of dank black mold tainted water. Staff were unresponsive to multiple texts and calls. Avoid this motel at all costs.

Good lady at the front really helpfull , dine in restaurants nearby good too
urwashi, 2-night trip

2/10 Terrible

I stayed up all night because of the terribly mold smell of the room. No air conditioning and a small fan. I keep the fan on all night tried to get the mold smell away. However despite of the fan and essential oil, the mold smell is still intense. The room is small, no sunlight so it's explained the terribly moldy smell... So painful and didn't even sleep for one hour
Abby, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

Nice location and reasonable; easy check in and out; room is ok; small shower and flat pillows.
John, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

It was clean and quiet. The staff was very friendly. The motel is a good choice for a short stay of 1 to 3 nights. It could do better with some upgrades of the facilities.
Jin, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Great motel for the money. Clean and has everything you need. staying as a family, we just wanted a place to sleep over night that clean and convenient. This hotel met all expectations.
Evgeni, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Janet was very helpful when arranging check in and out. Room was somewhat dated, but very clean, comfortable and convenient.
Ruth, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

The motel was nice, clean and quiet for a short trip of one night stay. Janet, one of the staff, was super friendly and gave us lots of information about the area. I recommend this motel as it’s very close to Tobermory around 30minutes and you can explore Lion’s Head as well.

10/10 Excellent

Great Little Local Motel

Fantastic service! This was a very local motel where we stayed one night in 2 rooms (out of the 4 available). This was a no frills stay in a quiet area, a reasonable drive from Tobermory. Great place to get a good night's sleep. The owner was so accommodating with our arrival, and the free parking was great.
Jason, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Good place to stay...quite and pleasant area in and outside too. Found safe 👌 Just go with ur own food coz there are very rare options available outside, specially for vegan people😉
Dixitkumar Rameshbhai, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

Our overall experience was good and Janet is a great host. I beleive we shouldnt expect too much from motels in the area, and we booked it just to sleep overnights since there's a lot to do in the area from beaches and hiking and it met our expectations.
Sara, 2-night trip
