Don't know why I picked this place but did so without reading reviews and because I wanted to minimize expenses. I hope to keep others from making my mistake. The "cottage" provided was VERY musty and moldy smelling on entry. Going into the bathroom I felt like I would fall down because the property has settled and is literally "tilted"... More

I would not stay here again, it is smelly and rundown. We stayed because we couldn't find anything else open. We did not know until we started reacting 9 days after leaving that we had been feasted on by bedbugs while we slept. Our doctor confirmed it takes average of 9 days for bites to show up. We have spent... More

This hotel was very dirty, smelly and run down! We were stuck with it because every other place was booked. We bought candles to try to cover the smell, no luck! Then, we woke up in the morning and found the beds full of bedbugs! It ruined our vacation! We had to spend hours bombing and cleaning our things. More

Although it was outdated I didn't mind. I had been there nefore and knew what I was in for. The room was clean and that was first and foremost. But when the proprietor would not give me a roll of toilet paper it was the straw that broke the camel's back. He told me that he had given me a... More

Although the flowering beds outside look nice, the room I was in was horrendous. From the rickity bench outside the door to the, the screen door that was falling apart you go into the room with the waterstained and mildewed ceiling. The circa 1970's refrigerator was falling apart and didn't work. The TV was a similar vintage. The bathroom sink... More

All different flowers in beds, hanging from the gazebo, lining the driveway and in porch pots were well-tended and in full bloom. The proprietors are friendly and helpful and provide a continental breakfast. Many repairs and upgrades are needed to the exterior of the motel. And our room needed new interior decorating, newer bed linens, repair to the broken recliner... More

Made an on line reservation after seeing the pictures on their web site seemed fine. The check in office was cluttered and had a damp smoky smell. Upon seeing the room, we could stay, no matter how tired. The only smart thing we did was walk (drive) away. Richard L. More

I don't write bad reviews, this is my first. But I felt compelled to write this based on our experience with this motel. We booked this place for an entire week and we did it weeks in advance based on the great deal we thought we were getting. We were wrong because the place is so run down that it... More

My family and I stayed here during a long road trip from Texas to PEI. We arrived late in the evening after a long day's drive and received a warm welcome from the proprietor, despite the lateness of the hour. Our family of four stayed in a small cottage-style room. Truth be told, it was a little run down and... More

The motel looks cute and quaint from the outside, with light green/blue paint on exterior, and a parking space in front of each unit. Parking lot was tiny; I have a small compact car and I was afraid it wouldn't be able to squeeze past the car parked in the first spot to get to ours. The room was clean... More
