Clean room, checking in was a bit of a pain. I wish there were more blankets so I didnt have to turn up the heat and the water was not warm enough. Couldnt really have hot bath or hot shower, it was only warm. Otherwise very cute and clean. A family could easily stay in this room.

Great for stopover to and from ferry to Nfld. Not a lot of dining options. And if you find one, they close early. But really appreciated this motel.

The staff was wonderful, they let us check in early, helped us with the tv , the property is older , needs upgrades One thing for sure the fan in bathroom works with the light on but during the night getting up using bathroom disturbs others sleeping that should be on its own switch I think with extension cords being used differently the electrical be a priority. The view is beautiful the staff wonderful , we would stay again
