We stayed in a room with a queen and double bunkbeds. After 4 days on the road with two teens the bunkbeds were greatly appreciated and everyone had a great night sleep. The water slide was fast and enjoyed by my older kids.

We had Such a Perfect Stay!

We had such a great time! Anna and the other staff members were so friendly and accommodating! There is a nice pool, breakfast and peace and quiet. There is access to restaurants, a hospital, pharmacy - all in great proximity! It is also great to hop on the highway to go to numerous areas to explore! Moncton, Eatonville and Amherst itself. If you love history you really want to check out the Cumberland House Museum located in Amherst! We will be back next summer!

Liked: Cleanliness
Disliked: Amenities
The staff were terrific. Friendly and efficient. The furniture was scuffed and tired. We couldn't use the pool or hot tub due to 8 to 12 children dominating use of it. Perhaps you could set a time aside each day exclusively for adults? The hotel limits smoking in and around the front of the hotel BUT not only allows but encourages smoking right at the rear entrance which is where any cars parked there are using that entrance. After a few trips in and out, our clothes stank of the cigarette smoke from those sitting at the door smoking. Lastly the breakfast was minimal at best. All in all, not the best stay for us and when in the area again, I doubt we would revisit.

Made to wait for 15 minutes for check-in while staff just chatted with other staff. The noise of road was unbelievable and did not sleep. No power for 8 hours. People were sitting in hallways and kids running up the corridors and down to early hours and not being addressed by staff. Communication from staff on power situation was not explained and no updates. Made to wait for check-out while they chatted again. No apology for lack of power. Expensive and poor service. Camping would have been better.
