Nice motel at the start of the Cabot Trail. Room was clean. Bed was good. Room was well equipped with coffee, toaster microwave and kettle. Bathroom fan did little to cycle out the moisture in the air but rest was perfect.

Yes, the property is a bit dated. But it’s clean and budget friendly. And you’re looking out over the water from your room or right outside. The owners were hilarious and shared multiple ideas of things to do and see on the Cabot trail that we not have otherwise known. Great advice and we appreciated that.

The rooms themselves are very clean and updated but the outside of the building needs work. It is not a draw if you were just passing by the motel on the road looking for a place to stay. Had a lovely view of the water from our window. Would have been nice to have quick access to the shore.

The location is but bad. Right on the corner of the Cabot Trail but a bit noisy. The decor is circa 1980 with broken tiles in the bathroom and a lamp shade that is also broken. The decor is so old. It needs to be replaced as I’m sure it has been like that for over 40 years. Bathtub was new but I wouldn’t walk in the carpet in bare feet. The bed was softer but was passable but old as well. Towels old and the sink did not have a stopper so you could look down at the gross black hole. I stayed in cabin 5. And the internet did not work. Just a really bad experience and probably the worst I have ever stayed and I have travelled all over the world.

Nice view and owners. No A/C, worn mattresses

Small owner-managed motel with approx 8 units. Purchased by owners during COVID and they are slowly renovating the rooms. I started out in an older room. It appeared very clean, but the mattress showed caverns where two bodies would lie, showing wear in the mattress. I requested a different room and was given a partially renovated room. This room also showed the caverns for two bodies on the mattress but it seemed like they weren’t so deep. It was only two years old and a thick mattress probably high quality, and turned out ok for my previously injured back. It appeared thoroughly cleaned. There was no A/C machine at all and it was too hot. A large fan was provided but I don’t sleep well with fans. I opened the windows. Opened or not there were tiny bugs jumping on me. I swatted one and it was white so I have no idea what it was. The owner pointed to the swamp across the street as the source. Owner had a lovely disposition, the ocean view was fantastic. However the bugs, worn mattresses and lack of A/C would prevent me from returning.
