Family of 4. This was an unexpected stop for us and it was the nicest Super 8 we've ever stayed at. Possibly the nicest stay of our 8 day trip to NS/NB. It was clean and well-kept. The staff was very friendly. They had lots of options for snacks in their "store". It's near the highway - I was the only one in my family to notice the road noise at night. They did have a white noise machine in the room, but my kids didn't want it on (I guess because they couldn't hear the trucks!). Staff was quick to keep the breakfast area clean. Would highly recommend this hotel. We didn't use the pool, but it was busy and had a water slide (word in the elevator was that it was super fast!).

We stayed in a room with a queen and double bunkbeds. After 4 days on the road with two teens the bunkbeds were greatly appreciated and everyone had a great night sleep. The water slide was fast and enjoyed by my older kids.

We had Such a Perfect Stay!

We had such a great time! Anna and the other staff members were so friendly and accommodating! There is a nice pool, breakfast and peace and quiet. There is access to restaurants, a hospital, pharmacy - all in great proximity! It is also great to hop on the highway to go to numerous areas to explore! Moncton, Eatonville and Amherst itself. If you love history you really want to check out the Cumberland House Museum located in Amherst! We will be back next summer!

The staff were terrific. Friendly and efficient. The furniture was scuffed and tired. We couldn't use the pool or hot tub due to 8 to 12 children dominating use of it. Perhaps you could set a time aside each day exclusively for adults? The hotel limits smoking in and around the front of the hotel BUT not only allows but encourages smoking right at the rear entrance which is where any cars parked there are using that entrance. After a few trips in and out, our clothes stank of the cigarette smoke from those sitting at the door smoking. Lastly the breakfast was minimal at best. All in all, not the best stay for us and when in the area again, I doubt we would revisit.
