Run down looking motel, clean room but with plug in air freshener masking bad smell. Only one other guest for the weekendI was there which is strange in July, peak tourist season. No staff on site, message inside room posted on door with # to call in case of emergency and alternate # of real estate company to call and leave a message. Feels as if this place is just going to be run into the ground, no staff, no upkeep, would never stay here again.

The motel was nice, clean and quiet for a short trip of one night stay. Janet, one of the staff, was super friendly and gave us lots of information about the area. I recommend this motel as it’s very close to Tobermory around 30minutes and you can explore Lion’s Head as well.
