6/10
Reviewed Jun 24, 2025Room was clean and comfortable and all guests were respectful of noise. It was nice to have the couch to sit on. Not enough toilet paper, no hand soap so I guess the single hotel size shampoo was meant for double duty. The air conditioner in our room was not working properly and two calls to the answering service resulted in promises but no action so if you're planning a stay there in the heat of the summer you may want to reconsider. We did not use the kitchen or laundry facilities.

Nous avons rappelé 15 min après et avons enfin eu un interlocuteur. Ensuite tout s'est très bien passé. Hôtel propre et confortable. La cuisine est très pratique.

2/10
Reviewed Aug 15, 2018This is a rooming house, not a hotel. The room did not match the Room Details in the confirmation email: it had a parking lot view (not "garden views"), a double bed (not a queen), no coffeemaker, minibar, hair dryer or iron & ironing board. The room had no chair (if you wanted to sit, you sat on the bed). There were no bedside tables or bedside lamps. As mentioned in the email, there is no front desk (because it isn't a hotel): we had to stand waiting in the parking lot for a quarter hour for someone to come and check us in (you need a key to enter the building). Last but not least, Google Maps can't find the address; so either you have a Clarenville street map, or call the phone number and get directions. Summary: poor value for money; not recommended!
8/10
Reviewed Aug 11, 2018Quiet and clean and helpful communications.

Reviewed Aug 3, 2018This seems like a boarding house, very nicely fixed up and clean. Room with private bath. Large kitchen that would work for multiple people. Own room small fridge. We were the only people there that we could see. Enjoyed using the one coin washer and dryer. A few steps up to get in. Google maps showed this one street up from the water than where it was. My new rv Garmin new where we needed to go, so better directions when you talk to owner might be helpful. Very quiet and comfortable, and the price can’t be beat.
