What a pleasant surprise.. very cozy with a wonderfully hosted breakfast

L'accueil tres gentil et le breakfast inclus. La patronne ne fait ce que tu veux au petit dej et tu l'emmène dans la chambre.
Rien.
N warm welkom van de eigenaar!, erg schone kamers met nieuwe matrassen
Voor ons op de fiets was de locatie lastig, maar waren voorbereid . Ligt op n aantal kilometers van Sussex
Very helpful and friendly staff. They treated us like family. Breakfast eggs were made to our preference. It was a beautiful morning that allowed us to eat outside and enjoy the countryside.
Super freundliches Personal. Das Motel ist in einer ruhigen Lage. Sehr gutes Frühstück, mit frisch zubereitetem Omelett.
The hosts were very accommodating and friendly. Breakfast was very good. Extremely good value.
Très belle expérience. Qualité/prix
Très bel accueil des propriétaires du motel. Chambre bien insonorisée malgré la proximité de la route, simple avec tout le nécessaire (table, fauteuil, bureau, frigo, tv). Salle de bain fonctionnelle et propre, avec petite fenêtre. Un bon petit déjeuner servi tous les matins à l'accueil.
Absolutely perfect! The place was super clean, well-maintained, and everything was spotless. You can really tell they take pride in keeping everything in excellent condition. Great experience overall, and I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a clean and comfortable place.

Set back from the highway with trees between motel and road. Functioning bathtub Complementary breakfast Walking distance to a restaurant
Older building, facilities a bit worn
The management was very friendly and breakfast was good.
Pinecone Motel is a sweet place to stay for a night or two when you’re passing through. It’s a beautiful property that is well maintained and the rooms are clean and comfortable. The owners Sarah and Davis are lovely people, so friendly and kind. They whip up delicious hot breakfasts too!
The hotel is dated but the owners have put a great deal of work into upgrading the rooms. Everything you would need is in the room except for a coffee maker. But! You won't need one since they have fresh coffee and breakfast ready in their lobby early. You can expect home made scones, donuts, cereal, yogurt, toast, fruit and eggs made scrambled, over easy, over med, any way you want them. Dining tables or picnic tables outside. A wonderful couple run this place and are extremely gracious and accommodating.
Das Motel war für ein 2 Sterne Motel sehr ordentlich und hat ein prima Frühstück angeboten. Die Inhaber waren super nett und freundlich. Man konnte sogar draußen sitzen.
The location is close to highway and breakfast is awesome.
Nothing
Clean rooms, hospitable and welcoming staff, and pleasant breakfast! Highly recommend and would stay again if passing through the area!
Breakfast was small but fresh including coffee l.staff was amazing and the calm country atmosphere was worth the stay.
More outside sitting accommodations. Possibly picnic area would have been amazing.
Motel très bien situé. Chambre simple, mais fonctionnelle, propre, bien équipée, avec moustiquaire et climatisation. Parking devant la chambre. Excellent accueil et grande gentillesse des propriétaires. Très bon rapport qualité prix pour un motel
L'organisation du petit déjeuner est surprenante (pas beaucoup de place): mais il est fait avec beaucoup de coeur et compris dans le prix !
Breakfast was sufficient and they cooked your eggs on the spot to your liking.
The facilities were excellent -while.the outside appears dated, the interiors have been updated and are modern and comfortable.
The motel is nearby to a cow farm. Not a huge issue, but the scent of the farm was noticeable outside - however, inside was fine, and this motel was only a place to sleep as our days were spent exploring NB, whale watching, etc. so it didn't matter too much.
Very quiet, very clean, friendly proprietor--excellent value for money
I always travel with tea bags and could have heated water in microwave, but no cup! Coffee/tea making supplies always nice.
The owners are so friendly and welcoming. They were extremely accommodating when we needed to shift our stay by a day due to weather. They are very easy to reach and very close to some restaurants. The size of the room is very comfortable.
The wall air conditioner units in two of the rooms were musty smelling and one had a lot of wet dust in it.
Good access
As touring cyclists we highly recommend the Motel. The owners are very friendly and accommodating, the room was renovated, clean and spacious enough for us and our two bikes, the breakfast was great and we liked its location just out of town.
For an older motel, this place was amazing, all due to the staff. We were personyguided to our room, shown how everything works, and then treated to a hot breakfast the next morning. While dates, the rooms were very clean and quiet. Can you tell I was impressed? You bet.
Nothing
Les propriétaires sont très sympathiques. Ils ont à coeur de bien nous servir et que notre séjour soit agréable. Les chambres sont très propres et les lits sont confortables. Nous avons tellement apprécié notre expérience que sur le chemin du retour de Nouvelle-Ecosse nous avons décidés de nous arrêter à nouveau au Pinecone Motel pour une nuit.

Rapport qualité/ prix pour la region imbattable proche des principales attractions (rochers hopewell parc national fundy et fundy trail). Très bon accueil des responsables
Good location, attention to detail by owners.
Was super cozy and lots of mature trees around. Lovely spot! Breakfast was incredible too.
Loved it all
Very clean and comfortable, and the hosts are eager to please. Great location, great price.
Fire going on arrival

Les propriétaires sont aux petits soins!
Très belle place Beau motel vintage Propriétaire vraiment gentil Vraiment bon déjeuner Bbq ext Feu de camp allumé par le proprio 👍👍
Dans notre unité, ça sentait vraiment pas bon, pourtant nous ne sommes vraiment pas difficiles. Nous avons été chercher un ""sens bon'"" pour changer l odeur. Nos voisins disaient qu'il n avait pas se problème. Sinon tout était parfait
Location is beautiful and peaceful and the owners are such a lovely couple. They make your eggs how you like in the morning with a good selection of toast , yogurt, cereal, fruit and a baked good. Coffee and tea as well. Air conditioner works insanely good and fast , I wouldn’t turn it and leave for the day. Within less than and hour ours felt like a deep freeze . Rooms are very clean!! We’ve stayed twice now and will be back.
It was quiet and cozy the owners were so incredibly sweet!! Felt like they cared ❤️
Le confort, la propreté irréprochables de la chambre. Les table à l’extérieur pour manger, le barbecue… Le petit déjeuner, simple l’as bon et copieux selon vos envies. Mais surtout et avant tout la gentillesse et l’efficacité du responsable et de son épouse, leurs conseils et la personne chargée de l’entretien. ++++

Very friendly owners to greet you , show you to your room! Breakfast was freshly cooked to order !Very good coffee! Really clean rooms ! Comfortable bed with really good pillows!
Les propriétaires sont très gentils et serviables. La chambre était propre et bien équipée.
Rien. Très bon rapport/qualité prix
Very clean
Everything was fine
They had a very good breakfast menu that you could take out to your room or sit out on the patio. The owners were very nice and polite, helpful for any questions regarding directions to other tourist areas and surroundings
If it had been closer to town.
Very friendly people, complete new bathroom, great location
The internet was bad the first night, it was very bad the second night with more guests in the motel, very little breakfast
Excellent accueil, personnel courtois. La grandeur de la chambre était parfaite pour nous. C’était propre et confortable. Le petit déjeuner était parfait pour nous.
Le lit était très mou.
It was very quiet and very clean. Staff was very friendly
I loved how great the owners where. we had missed breakfast time, but they still took out some scones and muffins and choose and tea for us. very much appreciated.
the doors between the conjoining rooms wouldn't lock right and the tv in the kids' room would keep shutting off on them
Personnel très accueillant et aux petits soins ! Equipements plus récents que dans la plupart des motels (notamment le système de fermeture des portes des chambres). Du choix au petit déjeuner !
The accommodation was large and comfortable , although older style it was a pleasant stay .
The property owners were lovely, they were very friendly and happy to help with any of our requests .
Clean, spacious room, AC, quiet area, friendly/helpful staff, close to St. John Airport but still in the country. Great price.
Can't really think of anything.
Accueil très chaleureux! Déjeuner personnalisé. Merci beaucoup. J'y reviendrai!
The location is very good. Breakfast was good.
The hosts are exceptionally friendly and helpful. They went out of there way to make us feel welcomed and appreciated.
Dated room but clean and comfortable
Beautiful view, clean rooms, fabulous breakfast, and extremely attentive staff.
These are two very tiny negative observations, but it would be nice to have a coffee maker in the room and it would also be nice if breakfast was served a little later.
Quiet, close to road travelled, natural setting.
Landscaping is always a challenge as is the exterior facility maintenance.
Comfortable bed. Lovely, hospitable owners. Home cooked breakfast. Very quiet.
No coffee in the room.
This property is very clean, the owners are super helpful, the breakfast is very nice, not an open buffet with cold eggs but they will cook your eggs if you want some, fresh and hot. The motel is older but kept very clean, nice air conditioning, newer bathroom.
Drive 5-8 minutes to restaurants but the owners gives you a list of recommended places with phone numbers for delivery and addresses
This owners are what makes this place stand out. You get a personal escort to your room and a demonstration on how to use all the amenities. A delicious home-cooked meal every morning along with coffee. The grounds are beautiful and well cared for.
There was no wifi during our visit and no reliable cellular data. The owner said they do have wifi but there was a problem with a service pole during our visit. It was just unfortunate and does not reflect on the owners of the property whatsoever.
Very welcoming couple run the motel. Like visiting your grandparents.
Wish the wifi signal was a little stronger
Nice clean room with desk and table and fridge.
Wifi was almost unusable. Breakfast good but not great. Bed sagged
Notre hôte très accueillant. Explications claires, très disponible, d une extrême gentillesse et sa dame vue lors du déjeuner. Couple travaille très fort à rajeunir et rénover leur motel. J e les félicite car c est un gros travail
Ameublement vieillot mais ça va changer . Je parle des fauteuils de la chambre no9 mais pas vraiment un problème majeur. Déjà la chambre a eu de belles rénovations. Lit confortable, literie adéquate. Je les remercie. Climatisation propre
It was just what we needed for a quick, quiet, relaxing getaway. I loved that they had a BBQ and a fire pit that we could use. The owners are phenomenally kind and helpful. The breakfast and fresh cooked eggs was also a nice surprise and treat.
L'accueil a la réception , équipement entièrement fonctionnel et complet , chambre très propre et bien entretenue Préparation et présentation du petit déjeuner avec soin qualité exceptionnelle , des Hôtes très avenants
Notre appréciation est complète , conservez ce bel emplacement. Gardez le terrain avec les arbres et en faire un jardin , un peu de décoration avec des lumières. Il y a toujours place a l'amélioration , c'est déjà bien.
Quiet, small, clean
No power plug for car, no gluten dairy free ootion
The staff was exceptionally friendly and helpful. Although the motel is a bit dated, it had every modern convenience and suited my needs perfectly. A real value
L’accueil chaleureux des propriétaires
Le lit était vraiment trop mou et inconfortable
We spent two nights at the Pine Cone Motel. Although it is an older motel, it is very well cared for by its owners. Each morning there was a Continental breakfast laid out in the Office and the hostess personally fried our eggs to our liking.
The Wi-Fi was very slow!
The owners are such welcoming people they make you feel right at home. The bed was super confortable. The homemade breakfast is a nice touch.
Super friendly owners
Rooms were exceptionally clean and the couple who runs this place ae extremely welcoming and great hosts (made to order breakfast!) Location is quite good relative to Fundy National park and Fundy Tail Provincial Park.
WiFi didn't work at all during my stay.
Very nice manager who provided me with breakfast snacks when I checked in late and told him I would not be awake at their breakfast time.
Service impeccable, ils nous ont apporter le petit déjeuner a notre chambre, et a l'heure que nous avions choisi. Le personnel est incroyable!
Very pleasant experience staying here. Owner went out of his way to make our stay comfortable. He came to our room, explained TV services and use of the minisplit. Even had breakfast delivered to our door at 7:00 am, as requested, very impressed!
It was fine for the price
Could have been a little nicer but you get what you pay for No complaints for the price
Good for a night stay while passing through. Very friendly couple who run the motel. Good breakfast.
The owners were absolutely the best ,they worked with me and my fiance with extending our stay ! They were so helpful and even brought breakfast right to our room :)
There wasnt anything I did not like !
Clean, comfortable, good breakfast.
No place to sit while eating breakfast, bathroom fixtures very dated.
The owners were absolutely sweet and extremely flexible !!!
I loved everything
There's campfire available, the hosts are very nice and will help you set up the fire. There are morning room service with a hot breakfast.
The breakfast was delicious, and included eggs and homemade muffins. We were greeted by the friendly owners who ensured that each guest's stay would be a comfortable one.
Owners were warm, professional and friendly. It was clear from the beginning to end that your quality and comfort of your stay was important to them.
The owners were so sweet and the breakfast was much more than expected. Homemade bakery items and eggs to order. They were so lovely.
It was a motel so didn’t have a lot of expectations so there really wasn’t anything I could complain about.
The owners are wonderful and make a lovely breakfast.
Quiet, hot breakfast, very nice hosts, convenient, secure
Very nice place, the hosts are extremely nice and care about their costumers. We were offered a very nice continental breakfast and eggs were made on demand. The place is situated near Fundy which was perfect for us.
The owners are really nice and attentive. The homemade biscuits and muffins were very good. They were willing to make eggs to order, and as usual with big smiles.
I've been coming here for 3 yrs now. They've slowly been renovating, so still a bit dated...BUT...they have heat pump air (nice and quiet unlike other places I've stayed), renovated bathrooms, keyless entry...still some work to do, but it is clean and the bed was comfy. I go out of my way to stay here on my yearly pilgrimage to Cape Breton.
The owners were absolutely incredible people! They were so welcoming, the rooms were clean! We will definitely stay here again in the future!
The wifi didn’t work great and the only reason that is a negative is because cell service also isn’t great there so there was no way to connect with anyone.
Super cute. Nice gravel driveway with a nice front lawn
Très bien
They changed breakfast time so I could have breakfast. Atmosphere.
I did not see that Pets were not allowed. I did have a small dog that stayed. They should have found my room close to spotless. They should change there policy on pets. There are many dog activities in Sussex NB. and are in prime location.
Great staff, its run by a couple. Comfortable bed, room was clean. Basic and nice breakfast, would love to come again.
Two things—poor wifi, and I realized in the morning that they are using some tactic to boost the signal from their reception area and save some internet cost. It was so poor that you could not open a single page, and even telecom reception was not good. The other thing was the AC creating a lot of noise. I had to literally turn off the AC in the middle of the night because of the noise. Apart from that, everything was good.
