No elevator and we were booked on 2nd floor with a lot of luggage. Manageable but inconvenient. Couldn’t imagine what an elderly person would have done.Restaurant was great. Food good. Only seemed to be one waitress who served us dinner and then again at breakfast. She could have used some help. Management could do better on that. If there we more Options in this town.

Reviewed Sep 22, 2025This hotel is the first hotel you see when arriving by ferry. So it has hosted probably thousands of visitors over the years. The carpets may be old, worn and tired. The staircase creaks,but the reception staff are the most welcoming, friendly and organized ladies I have come across on our 3 week trip to the Maritimes. The room was spacious,clean and the bed was comfortable. The food is fresh tasty comfort food. And all the servers go out of their way to make you feel at home. Happy and friendly, especially April who helped out on my birthday surprise, thank you!! Thoroughly enjoyed our one night stay and I highly recommend!

The restaurant has very good food, and they provide huge portions. I stayed here last year en route to fish Atlantic salmon, and will stay here every time that I travel to Newfoundland. A great place to stay, 5 minutes from the ferry. Couldn’t be more convenient.

Reviewed Sep 11, 2025We liked the bed was comfortable, clean room. We didn’t like the internet never worked the whole stay. Didn’t like hearing people talk next door and some loud machine. Also the Manager was confrontational when I complained of having no internet. Asked if I told anyone I did phone front desk and they said because they had a crowd and only 3 routers, the manager asked why she wasn’t contacted. She never said sorry to hear that or sorry for your inconvenience. She definitely has no Human Resources training and I personally felt she wanted a confrontation. We have stayed 10 times there in the past 5 years, bought our meals and paid 15% tip, also bought gifts for our grandkids and foster kids. It was the most expensive out of all the hotels from Ontario with no free breakfast. Our estimate is we have spent up to $2,500 at the hotel. I think the Manager has 0 personal skills.

Reviewed Aug 20, 2025It’s an ordinary hotel with ordinary amenities although we did not expect more here. The receptionist made a gross mistake by charging my credit card twice. Thus I got stuck with that amount of money to be returned back to my credit card account by 5-7 business days and my credit limit will restrict me for further use of card until this money returns to my account. The receptionist should be more careful and vigilant about this type of transaction.

Reviewed Aug 19, 2025Very tired property, needs a refresh. Our room was very basic and not much space. Bathroom was nice and seemed to be upgraded but the room smelled musty. The AC was quite loud but we kept it on since it was stuffy. In the morning, the fire alarm went off at 730 am so everyone had to evacuate. Got back in about 20 minutes later so big deal for us but lots of families were there with little kids in their PJs. We didn't expect a 4 star hotel by any means but for almost $200 for the night, not good value for money.

Reviewed Aug 16, 2025Front desk staff were fabulous. Room was very clean and beds were comfortable. On-site restaurant was great. Only negatives: A/C was noisy and room a little musty smelling.
