We did an eleven day visit to the Maritimes. This was the cheapest hotel on our trip. The price is on point for what you get. The check in was quick, easy and friendly. The water pressure & temp was perfect. The bed was not the most comfortable BUT we were on the last day before heading home and passed out quickly anyways. It was a dark and quiet room, no off smells. The room is dated but oddly, it had the better TV & channel options than many of our stays. For the budget traveller this is a great option.
