Only had one interaction with staff while checking in, and the lady was pleasant and helpful. The rooms were exactly what we needed for a quick overnight visit to Saint John...good bathroom, mini-fridge, tv, and comfortable bed for the night. Wifi worked all the time, even down the back where we were located. Obviously this hotel is not in downtown,... More

I checked into this motel at 11pm and was forced to leave at 2:30am due to a broken pipe in the bathroom. I woke at 2am to a room full of steam and went to the office to notify the owners. The motel was full for the night so I personally had to find a place to go to with... More

This is the response for the review posted above. The lady who claims to be 55-56 yrs. old, was asked to move out middle of the night because of the smoke smell and inappropriate noises from her room (2-3 people in a room with one bed) and complaints about that from guests staying beside her room. We were threatened to... More

We didn't expect too much from this motel, based on the location and price, but we were very pleasantly surprised. I have never stayed in such a clean room! I travel for business quite often, and usually stay in 3 to 4 star hotels, and they have never been this clean. The building is older, but really well maintained. The... More

Needed simple lodging passing through to PEI. Took a chance based on the trip advisor rating, and it was spot (or in this case spotless) on. Place was comfortable, and as mentioned very clean. NB: no air conditioning. AM pastries and coffee were spartan but good. Owners were very nice. View a plus.

I chose this motel following the many good reviews on this site. Very satisfied! Excellent place with small, super clean rooms, great service, friendly owner, view over Saint-John. A 8-10 min. drive from downtown. Would definitively come here again.

We needed a place to stay after getting off the ferry from Nova Scotia and this place, although far from fancy, fit the bill. It's inexpensive, very clean and well kept. The owner was friendly and directed us to the services we needed. Good value for those on a tighter budget.
