Drive up rooms, very dark when you pull the drapes, nice chairs outside your door, comfy beds, felt very clean, and you can watch deer in the yard eating grass. I saw 9!

Karen Canada

The property is an excellent location. The grocery store , liquor store and Movie theatre are literally seconds down the street . The rooms are very clean and comfortable . The staff were very friendly and welcoming :)

Collette Canada

This is the first ever motel I have stayed at that I can say is sparkling clean. The lady at the reception is super friendly, super polite and super helpful. The continental breakfast is not available due to covid but she gave me a bowl, a mug, some spoons, a kettle and 2 packages of cereals. You can have tea and coffee too but they don’t have decaf tea. She came right away to my room when I wasn’t able to make the shower work. There are restaurants within walking distance. The WiFi works really well. I have cemetery view and I enjoyed it. I would definitely stay here if I visit town again.

We stay at this location yearly when passing through. We have never been disappointed.

Holly Canada

An older property.well kept and in a great location. Good value

Roger Canada

Property was what you would expect for a motel...but... the room was super spacious, two beds (definitely not queen-sized, though), a love seat, table with 2 chairs and a fridge/microwave! Bathroom was renovated and very bright and clean! I’ll bring my own toilet paper next time, though. Good breakfast included... cereal, toast/bagels, oatmeal, fruit, yogurt, and hot & cold drinks. We will definitely stay there again, if we needed to stop in the area again

Gail Canada

It was easy to find , rooms clean, older motel , however, as long as it is clean. The breakfast was good. The only thing would be ‘to go’ cups for coffee ( realize not good environmental,,,,,,, but coffee to take back to the room first thing would be nice ) ..... not a deal breaker ....

Dawn Canada

Near a good restaurant, & in the place we needed to be on our travels.

Spotless! Nothing fancy but met our needs. Nice size room and comfortable. Staff was awesome!

Angela Canada

Only 20 minutes away from PEI ferry. Super friend staff - special shout out to Gloria for making us feel so welcome. Home away from home.
