The door handle on the fridge/sink/stove combo was attached with duct tape and hot glue. The carpets were gross and the beds were 3/4 not even a double. Disappointing.

I won't ever go back there. The place needs a LOT of "necessary" repairs and maintenance. Some of which is many years overdue.

Don't get fooled by old reviews, this place didn't get cared of since a lot of time. Look at recent reviews. Room was dirty (sticky floor, wall) Room was in a bad condition (missing tiles, wallpaper peeling off and more) Plumbing doing awful loud noises (had hot water) Uncomfortable beds. Broken furniture. mattress protector was stained bad. Tv and wifi was good. Worst night ever.

Try somewhere else. Owners do not care.

Hot plate on top of stove. Blackish mold on tub grout, and tub was tiny. We shipped a shower and just hit the road. Ewwww.

In Pictou for a family wedding

Great affordable room, very friendly staff. My only wish is that I needed a plug in for my hair dryer next to a mirror! Bathroom one wouldn’t work, and the only other one I found was in the kitchenette. One other small disappointment, I could get th3 coffee machine to work properly, got lukewarm coffee. Would indeed stay there again.

Motel qui a besoin d'être rénové et mis au gout du jour. Près du traversier et de l'essence. Une nuit seulement pas plus... Très cher pour une chambre de motel très très ordinaire. Lit confortable, mais le lit à la tête plus basse que les pieds.

We were initially sent to a room that smelled quite bad with a fridge that didn’t work. We were able to change to a cabin which met our needs and matched the pictures that prompted us to book here. Worked very well for our needs.
