Great for a night stop in a quiet location a short drive from the ferry to Digby. A standard but quite well equipped motel and a missing item was quickly supplied by the owner. Very good value for money

The entire building needs renovation. Outdated furniture and bathroom. There was no hot water to shower. Only the sink had hot water. When I reached out, I was told it would take a while for the hot water to come but I waited for almost an hour and there was no hot water coming. I couldn’t use the WiFi. You have to use the stairs with your luggage to get upstairs’. No hair dryer and no dressing mirror
