Great for stopover to and from ferry to Nfld. Not a lot of dining options. And if you find one, they close early. But really appreciated this motel.

The staff was wonderful, they let us check in early, helped us with the tv , the property is older , needs upgrades One thing for sure the fan in bathroom works with the light on but during the night getting up using bathroom disturbs others sleeping that should be on its own switch I think with extension cords being used differently the electrical be a priority. The view is beautiful the staff wonderful , we would stay again

Friendly staff

The staff were extra friendly. This was our second time staying there. When we checked in the owner was not in the office. She came to our room the next day to welcome us back. Today as we were getting ready to leave she csme to our room to wish us a safe trip The room was large and had a great view of Kelly's Mountain. Evrn though you are beside a main busy highway, you didn't hear any traffic noise.
