This hotel was marked as open to children and families, and we had an interesting experience staying here. The hotel itself is nice, somewhat old, but more than compensated for with responsive and helpful staff in all areas. While we were *in the process* of taking out a 8-month old infant that was crying in the restaurant one evening, a... more

We stayed 2 nights and ate at the restaurant for one breakfast and one dinner...thoroughly enjoyed both! AC was not required as we had ocean front with nice breeze. The tour booth was a nice asset. You won't be disappointed, that's for sure! more

We stayed at this hotel two nights when we couldn't get a cabin at one of the many other options in Rocky Harbour. The hotel is pretty busy with bus tours and over all is okay. The rooms don't have air conditioning and the only way to get fresh air is to open the patio door. When you do this,... more

We are pleased to let you know that the AC is being added throughout the rooms and common areas the Fall as we continue to upgrade the property.

Overpriced.

There are strange growing pains over at the Ocean View in Rocky Harbour. We booked a room in the Ocean View *Hotel* and couldn't find it when we pulled into town. When we finally figured out where to go we were told by a passive-aggressive front desk person that the Ocean View Motel is now a Hotel and that everything... more

Our favourite accommodation in Gros Morne by far. We usual stayed here three-four nights to make some special hiking and canoe trips in Gros Morne National park and to fish the upper Humber river for one or two days. An excellent location in the centre of the park. The management is great, the rooms and beds are perfect but to... more

Clean & plenty of hot water. Restaurant could use some work, though... Caters to busloads of tourists. On-site tour booking facility, can provide good info on the boat tour. more

Thanks for the feedback. Hope you had a great stay with us. Sorry if you missed the restaurant...2008 hours were 7am to 11am for breakfast...noon to 2pm for lunch and 5pm to 9pm for dinner...pretty standard. Hoping to be open straight through from 7am to 10pm for 2009. Thanks and please let us know if you are visiting again! Todd...

We stayed at the Ocean View for a night in mid-July. It's the only full service motel in Rocky Harbour and maybe the only full service motel on Newfoundland's West coast. Our room was quite serviceable, nothing special. Quite clean and quiet. We had WiFi and cable TV (about 32 channels). We did not have a harbor view, our room... more

This motel is ideally situated on the waterfront. The rooms were clean and comfortable with all the usual facilities. Did not use the restaurant. No problems with noise; worth asking for a waterfront room which has a nice balcony. more

Overall, I wouldn't stay here again if I wanted a good night's sleep. I'd look for a B&B or another motel. If you like the food and music, sleep somewhere else and then just come for the food and music. The Good: Great view and very conveniently located for Gros Morne Park. Food was decent. Room was on the large... more

Thanks for your honest review. We are new owners as of April of 2007 and have been upgrading all rooms with new paint, carpets, bedding, and decor since October 2007. We are adding silent floors and renovating the halls to include sound doors on either end. Also renovating lobby and lounge areas. Thanks for the constructive feedback.

We stayed here three nights. We hadn't booked and ended up in the suites as they were the only rooms available but rates were more than reasonable. My husband and I are English and our companions were Canadians. We had an ocean view in our very spacious room. The room was also very clean and well equipped. The food was... more
