Provider-sourced guest reviews.
nice room and location staff and restaurant was great
cooler fridge did not work. said they would replace and did not, BUT gave a discount on room for the issue which was very nice
Location was great, cabin was very clean and updated. Staff were super friendly
Nothing
Comfortable cabin. Good location for walking to harbour and lighthouse
Location near restaurant and theatre
The wind...although nothing they can do about the weather!!
Great location along the St Lawrence seaway.
Cabin was a little on the small size
convenience, efficiency of space.
Darker paint on walls with low lighting. All lights had to be on in living/ dining/ kitchen. No working light over sink...dark little kitchen.
Functional room. Shallow bay beach close by.
Front desk staff weren't especially courteous. No dry place beside the pool or hot tub to put your clothes/bag if it is raining.
quiet and good check in process
too close to buses emitting diesel fumes & pot for coffee maker was not clean
Good location and friendly timely service. Good food
Tolle Lage im Nationalpark, Carins sind groß und gut ausgestattet
Ausstattung ein wenig old fashion
We stayed in the little guesthouse and enjoyed a spectacular sunset from the back deck of our waterfront room.
We stayed in a cabin at the motel. We were pleasantly surprised that the cabin was actually a house! It was spacious and comfortable and had everything we needed! My kids enjoyed the pool. The breakfast was delicious and the staff were very helpful and friendly!
Clean, quiet and convenient.
Nothing
On the seafront. Heated pool. Jacuzzi. Good food in restaurant and a laundromat which we needed!
The back door of the room opened up to a small deck, with seating overlooking the bay. The pool and the hot tub were also very nice.
The room could use some update and there was too much furniture in the room.
Location and clean , beautiful area , friendly staff
Musty smell in cabins, cabins were not close to beach like I thought they would be. Food in restaurant was average
Staff very friendly and helpful. Great service in the restaurant and great food
Need to take care of the rain pouring down on the steps going to room 164. Very very very dangerous for seniors and guest
The pilloes
Friendly staff, beautiful rooms & location!
Zimmer hatte Terrasse mit Meerblick, Tisch im Außenbeleuchtung. Wir haben unsere Pizza dort gegessen und die Eindrücke genossen. Hotel bietet alles, was man sich nach Zeit im wilden Labrador wünscht. Waschsalon liegt gegenüber. Extrem freundlicher Besitzer.
Alles perfekt!
Evwrything is good. The view from the room to open water is spectacular.
Comfy beds! Clean! Food available late. Great to have fridge.
Corridor Carpet could use an update
L'emplacement et le restaurant
La literie n'est pas confortable. La décoration très vieillotte.
Ocean view, well stocked room
Lack of instructions to find cabins Ac is rusted and water from Ac is leaking right on back yard
Not applicable
Very clean and well maintained.
Slightly older property
Great location, cottages offer nice space for families and groups of people to use as a base to explore the northern half of Gros Morne and as a stopover on route to the north.
Bedrooms in the cabin were very small, difficult to get around the bed. Very stuffy and difficult to get airflow, no air conditioning.
Piscine et sauna
Wifi très très lent
Exceeding expectations for a small town.
Excellent location
Wonderful
There was not a thing, wonderful accommodations!
No free breakfast No microwave in the room
Having a restaurant at the end of a long day was a benefit.
Great view staff was lovely
Place was great
Comfortable
Room on second floor
Goede bedden, mooi uitzicht op zee vanuit je kamer, behulpsaame receptie, me geholpen bij boeken hotel in Rockey Harbour
Wifiontvangst in kamer niet zo goed. Bij receptie wel goed
Lovely place to stay. Decorated nicely with lots of art including the owners’. Great den and balcony off the room. Friendly staff. Complimentary breakfast was great.
It was a bit off the main highway but not too far.
Location
Internet was a little spotty
No view. Restaurant was ok. Room was your normal hotel room nothing special
For an extra $20 +tax, we got a nice water view room. We are seniors and were initially put in a shitty second floor dark room, with no elevator, facing the parking lot. This was supposedly a $180/night room?
Dinner in the restaurant was horrible. Deep fried cod when the menu said pan fried, limp fries, tastleless frozen veggies. Charged over $12 for a 2x2" piece of cheesecake that was obviously some big, cheap slab cake that probably cost that much for the whole cake. The owner was really rude when we addressed this. No pool (seasonal), but hot tub and sauna should have been open. It was the second week of June. Heater in room was noisy.
Comfortable room. Friendly staff. Great food at the restaurant. Nice atmosphere in the bar. Across the road from DC fast charger.
How professional and helpful the staff was Proximity of a good restaurant
Shallow Bay was such a pleasant stay on our trip! The ladies behind the counter were amazing - so friendly and kind, and it was awesome having restaurants on property. The beds were the most comfortable of all of the places we stayed, and parking was never an issue. Having access to a sauna was a nice bonus!
The pool and hot tub were not yet open during our stay which wasn't apparent when we booked.
Our room was right on the shore. we could see ducks and swallows form the window. The hotel was directly across from the theatre where we had tickets for an evening of "down home music" The staff tried to find a solution for the low toilet which my arthritic knees can not manage. They did not succeed but were very cordial.
Low toilet . everything else was as expected.
Ocean view
View on Bay; good positioned for northern Gros Morne NP.
Good food and very friendly staff.
Room looking out on the water. Excelent view. Beautiful sunset
No access outside from the room.
Right on the ocean, close to Shallow Bay.
Great staff, fantastic place to stay
Everything from the staff, facilities and location
Good breakfast at the restaurant
The rooms were large a spacious. It is located next to the theatre for those attending the festival. The rooms are well equipped and warm.
I thought the TV was too small and too high on the wall
Everything is perfect.
Location along the beach Friendly fun staff The owner visited with everyone in the restaurant Super efficient staff in a very busy restaurant Fun pub with karaoke Great menu and prices
Clean comfortable, met our needs for a base to explore the area.
Coffee was an extra charge with the breakfast order. Felt it should have been included. Rooms seemed like they were dark, could have used more lighting overall.
nice view .....on the beach
THEY DID NOT TELL US THAT THERE WAS A BOIL ORDER ON OR OFFER US ANY WATER UNTIL I ASKED THEM ABOUT IT AFTER SEEING A SIGN IN MY ROOM. There was no bottled water but they said I could go get a container of water,
Nice room view of the water
No worries
The rooms are updated, clean and amenities are above and beyond the typical room
Carrying my belongings up a flight of wooden stairs
It was right on the ocean. Staff were friendly.
Vue magnifique sur la mer. Repas très agréable au restaurant. Épicerie locale super pratique. Belle balade facile près de l'hôtel.
Rien, c'était très bien
All
No
Beautiful view of sunset from our deck
distance from car; the fact that we had to open 2 heavy doors in the hall on way to room while carrying luggage - no auto doors
Convenient amenities! Food, Laundry, and our cabin had all that we needed!
Pool, hot tub, gym all closed. But we were a week early from the full season opening.
Very clean and very friendly staff and residents. It also has Level 2 and Level 3 ChargePoint EV charging stations on the property.
Property and staff great clean and food in restaurant was great
J’avais une très jolie vue et un accès extérieur vers l’eau.
Nous devions utiliser de l’eau bouillie mais pas de bouilloire dans la chambre. Donc on nous donnait un contenant d’eau en plastique mou…
Le propriétaire est ultra sympathique! Il a tout organisé pour qu’on puisse visionner le match de hockey dans le bar, il s’est assuré qu’on ait de quoi manger comme nous sommes arrivés tard. La vue de la chambre sur le Golfe, incroyable! Le couché de soleil, splendide. Lits confortables, tout ce qu’il faut pour être bien!
Rien! Seul point, si vous venez pour le parc de Gros Morne, vérifiez dans quelle zone du parc se trouvent vos randonnées, car il peut y avoir jusqu’à 1h30 de route. Le Motel est près de la partie nord.
Proximity to harbour.
Darel was very helpful in giving us information around gros morne national park and welcoming to us to the motel! The place has an ocean view and close to the places we want to see.
Ocean view. Bar was fun
Smiling bartenders
The cabin we stayed in was cozy, clean, and had everything we needed. The restaurant’s sea views and tasty food were a plus, and the pub was perfect for evening drinks. Staff were super friendly! Highly recommend.
We had a 2 bedroom cottage. The beds were good, kitchen well stocked.
The place was slightly dated. I would have liked a better sitting area at the front of our cottage.
Location Perfect for a family vacation
Nice location. Great to have a restaurant right there for dinner and breakfast. The staff were very good.
The room was comfortable and simple. That's what we expected. So it wasn't bad, just nothing special.
Beautiful location and very friendly staff! Clean and cozy! Great breakfast - fish cakes are phenomenal!
Magnifica vista sull'oceano. Pulizia.
Comfortable room, great restaurant, nice pub, and friendly staff. Everything was great.
We stated in a cabin and lived everything about it
Convenience of cabin, dining, and venue for concert being in walking distance.
Our rooms facing the water have spectacular views.
Sound insulation weak so I can hear conversation from next room
The location was ideal break in our dash to the vikings. Food was good. The big bonus was the view of the of st laurence from our window. I had left a sweatshirt behind. They found it and we enjoyed a further meal. Seafood has been excellent everywhere.
A bit easier to adjust the temperature.
The staff are very friendly and helpful. The hotel itself is showing its age. But it is clean and comfortable. The dining room is handy and the food is pretty good.
Friendly staff; great chicken wings!
Loved Karaoke! Great views. Nice people.
We had a great view and were across from the venue we attended! Very convenient and a great breakfast the next morning
The hotel fit our travel plans. It was a nice stay with a good restaurant.
Staff were efficient and friendly. There was entertainment in the lounge.
The owners were very accomodating and helpful They wanted to please us and they did!!!
Excellent location with beautiful scenery
A very well-appointed cabin on the Northern Peninsula of Newfoundland! It doesn't get much better than that for peace, solitude and tranquillity amidst the mountains and the coast!!!
Everything was perfect!
They had a restaurant on site which was helpful as it was the only restaurant in the village and for several miles
