Decent room, clean but older with beds that might need to be replaced felt like they kinda slope towards the wall when you lay in them. Good location near the Alexander Graham Bell museum and across from a fabulous bakery.

Beds were comfortable. Room was clean. And it was so QUIET. Lovely place. If they had someone to help with luggage to get up the stairs, and even a continental breakfast when nothing else is really open around, that would go a long way and would be 5 stars.

Great location, an easy walk to restaurants etc. Staff was very helpful and gave us a thorough orientation, including to the Cabot Trail, upon checkin. In-house restaurant looked lovely, but we ended up not going there because we got back too late (and it does look a bit pricey). The rooms were comfortable but we moved some small furniture items around so we had a place to set our bathroom things and had sufficient nightstand space.

Stay was good. The advantage of being in town was a good bonus. The restaurant had excellent food and service. Our stay was in one of the motel rooms which were comfortable enough but are a little dated and in need of a refresh in my opinion, particularly the bathroom.
