This was a quiet motel that served its purpose for me (rest stop between destinations). Nothing outstanding. Room had an older TV, desk, chairs, mini-fridge, and coffee machine. Bedding, towels, bathroom and other surfaces were clean, and staff was friendly enough. Heat was a bit confusing at first, but worked well once I got it going. Bed was a little bouncy for my liking, but I was able to get a good night’s sleep, shower, and be on my way. Sobeys and Subway around the corner was convenient. I would stay here again if I needed a low-key place to crash for the night.

Great location and good price. It's right near big Sobeys store for groceries etc and MacDonalds - both I think open until 9pm. MacDonalds opens at 6am - great if catcing the 7am ferry to PEI. The parking lot coming in is a bit chaotic and our room was a bit run down. It can also be a bit noisy with main roundabouts at doorstop and hectic comings and goings. But absolutely great for anyone on road trip - and the Caribou to Wood Island (NS > PEI) car ferry.

The room suited my purpose, inexpensive and it was very handy location, but room and property were old, dated, and would benefit from some simple updates eg unbroken TV, windows.

I want to give it a 5 just for the frendly staff but the rooms are run down and could use a good cleaning although the beds and washroom where clean. Thelocation is awesome. With a little TLC this place could be a winner.
