Decent place to stop for an evening of catching the ferry to NFLD. This place feels to me like a draw back to the 70’s , I liked it ALOT for that reason ! I loved the idea of parking my car right next to the door ! Very convenient indeed , I’d stay again for sure … They may need to look at the maintenance of the aluminum door closure … don’t work too well Good value !
