“DO NOT stay at the Lobster Shanty”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 July 2006
5
people found this review helpful

The only thing that ruined my trip to PEI was my accommodations. I unwisely booked a room at the Lobster Shanty in Montague. Unless you are comfortable staying in an old, run down, damp, musty, depressing motel then DO NOT stay at the Lobster Shanty in Montague, PEI.
The owner has no clue how to be hospitable. He is just out to make money. He did not honor my quoted rate of $89.00 per night when I checked in. He simply advised me that he had given away my room and I had to stay in a Chalet for $179.00 per night. I eventually got a regular room for $89.00 but only because my friend felt sorry for me and switched rooms with me. The room I stayed in was not worth $5.00 per night. It was old, stinky (musty smell), the air conditioner didnt work, there was tape on the bathroom wall covering a hole, the shower tile grout was moldy and filthy, the whole place is falling apart and outdated. The floor grout was also dirty. This motel is very old, tired and in my opinion, very unhealthy with regard to mold spores. I will never stay at the Lobster Shanty again and I hope no one else has to experience this poorly managed facility.
If you have reservations at the Lobster Chanty, you would be wise to cancel them and book somewhere else.

Stayed June 2006

“Disgraceful”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 July 2006

I had made reservations at the Lobster Shanty Motel in Montague,PEI months prior to our trip. All the arrangements seemed to be in order after calling to confirm everything at least four times during the next couple of months.

Two days before we left another confirmation was made and everything seemed to be ready for us.

That weekend my group arrived ahead of me to find that all of our rooms had been rented out, and the only acommodations they could get were in chalets at twice the cost oif our original arrangements.

When I arrived the next day the owner of the motel, a Mr. Lee, tried his very best to sell us the chalets at the going rates in total indifference to the chaos he had caused our entire group.

After being very insistenet and at the intervention of one of his employees to calm the situation an agreement was arrived at. But we were still forced to share acommodations which completely ruined our privacy.

The motel is run down and filthy and the management is extremely unprofessional. This business needs investigation by authorities.

“Stay Away”

The proprieter went out of his way to Try and rip our group of 5 rooms off. Rooms Dirty Mold and food in the leaf area of the dinning room tables in the chalets.

Lee who checked us in Told us he gave to of our rooms away and upgraded them for us. But wanted double the money as well. Unexceptable. Non workin air conditioner in one room. Let himself into one of our rooms when we were all there. Didn't knock just unlocked the door and came in. Over all a let down. Shame the new owners are so out of Touch with hospitality and what it means.

If they were a member of the BBB I would have reported them. Not being a recomended establishment on the tourism Page for PEI should be an emediate RED FLAG. This is all first hand accounts of what happened in one day of a 2 day visit.

“Worn out”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 October 2003

people found this review helpful

We were here out of season. No great rates here and the desk staff was inattentive and rude. My companion was not feeling well so we opted to stay even though there were other better options up the road. The room was tired and not very clean. There was a coffee maker in the room, but an extra charge for the coffee. The restaurant and bar were empty and worn, and the food was just passable.
