The owner was rude and very desperate for customers. Expedia should do better investigating of these properties....we are not living in the dark ages, certain amenities are a necessity especially air conditioning in summer.

The staffs are very friendly. The room and the bathroom were clean. Unfortunately, it has no air-conditioned. However, the price of the room is very reasonable and the location is very close to ferry harbor.

Great, stay as always.But this time stayed in the middle of a heat wave, and there was no ac. It's the only thing that could be improved upon.

It was a perfect location off the Trans Canada highway and just about a 15km drive from the ferry terminal. Sadly no restaurant. If looking for a place to stay after getting off the ferry or just because your unroute, this place is excellent, just eat before getting off the ferry. The owner is very friendly and prepared to go out of her way for her traveling customers.

The property was close to an attraction that I was going to and so was very convenient. The owner was outgoing and friendly. The property was very clean and the owner (relatively recent purchase) explained her plan for improvements. Stayed 2 nights. Would return

The front staff member was super friendly and we had a fast check in experience. Room was clean. Bed wasn’t terribly comfortable and room was very warm at night. It would have been optimal to have sheers on the front window as it was on walkway and people were looking in before we closed curtains for night. We had the room next to the office so there were cars and people chatting until 10 pm.

We were greeted by the hotel staff with a big smile and she was very bubbly and friendly. We chatted about our home towns and she told us about great locations in the area for dinner. Checkin was really fast and easy. We got the key and made our was to our room. The rooms cleanliness was exceptional. There wasnt a spec of dust or piece of dirt to be found. The beds were very comfortable. I would 100% recommend this motel to anyone travelling through that area of the province and will stay there again myself if I find myself in the area.

Owners are wonderful, very nice place to stay. The only faults we could find are that the bed (mattress) is worn out and sags very noticeably and there is no air conditioning

This place was the perfect spot for our family to spend the night. Sadly during a heat wave lack of AC meant we were sweating buckets. The staff helped point us to a nearby swimming spot and mechanic for our vehicle. Charming and clean.

Owners were amazing. I was exhausted and had a boat behind and we hadn’t eaten. No one would deliver so the owners daughter offered to go get us food and deliver it. Simply amazing , even provided plates. Beautiful spot to rest and relax after a hard days drive.
