Booked for one night while traveling the Cabot Trail. Owner was very friendly and helpful when we checked in. Room, although quite small, was very clean and comfortable with everything that we needed. Not a five star due to the restaurant. Booked here for the ease of eating on property after a tough drive. The waitress at the restaurant was incredibly friendly and working very hard to serve everyone. But the kitchen was obviously understaffed; we arrived at 6pm, placed our order by 6:10, and didn’t receive our food until 7pm. That’s just crazy for a restaurant that only has seven tables (four 4-tops, and three 2-tops). The food was good, but not worth that long of a wait. I would stay at the motel again, but avoid the restaurant.

Location great. Rooms have been upgraded however could have been better. The toilet is in the open room concept literally 12 feet from dining area with no door. Only a curtain to pull back. Nothing to mitigate sound or smell to be honest. Bath tub was great, however took 20 minutes to fill. Water pressure poor. We stayed in Sunset cabin F. The bed was horrible. Double for 2 full grown aduls, rock hard, high off the ground. Could easily fit queen size bed in the room. Also right side of the bed has a lean to it. Felt like I was going to roll off the bed. Between that and the rock hard mattress, I chose to sleep on their 2 seater small couch. Which wasn’t the greatest comfort either. Chose not to have dinner at the restaurant attached. Limited selection. Location great, views great, room has potential but missed the mark. Until one can go to the bathroom without having to turn on the TV or literally have a guest 5 feet from you while eating sitting on the toilet, I wouldn’t recommend this resort.
