Quiet area, stayed here while visiting tobermory. The walls are thin so you could hear some outside noise. Overall given the price it was a reasonable accommodation.

It was clean and quiet. The staff was very friendly. The motel is a good choice for a short stay of 1 to 3 nights. It could do better with some upgrades of the facilities.

Few amenities for the price.

Quiet and clean but very outdated. No A/C, no microwave, no breakfast option, no front desk although Janet did text a self check in and out option. For the price, the amenities are very few.

Great place to stop overnight in Ferndale, the rooms could use updating and A/C would be a great asset. But all in all it's a quaint little place, kept very clean and the owners are fantastic and offered great communication through the entire visit.

Checkin was good, response from staff was good!!! But my kid could not sleep because of bed bugs issue and the bed was also making creaking sound every time we had changed our position while asleep. Limping chair and table were not safe to use. Overall had been below average experience.

Great Little Local Motel

Fantastic service! This was a very local motel where we stayed one night in 2 rooms (out of the 4 available). This was a no frills stay in a quiet area, a reasonable drive from Tobermory. Great place to get a good night's sleep. The owner was so accommodating with our arrival, and the free parking was great.
