Our room was not great at best! The bed was terrible, the bathroom not great but I guess the price reflected on it. We stayed in 10 hotels/motels along our Maritime trip and this was the worst hands down.

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
This unit looked nothing like the pictures on Expedia and was quite dirty. The unit was dim, smelled moldy and bedsheets were not clean. We checked in as 2 adults and all they provided us with was 1 coffee pod, 1 shampoo and 1 shower gel. Luckily there were sufficient towels. The microwave door was jammed on most occasions and we had to ask for cups (plastic ones provided for coffee) and toilet roll. I feel I can go on and on whining about this unit but enough said.
