The room we had was recently updated and comfortable. The property shares the parking lot with a very busy restaurant that is noisy and chaotic. There isn’t really a good place for breakfast (the onsite restaurant doesn’t serve breakfast). We had a nice patio to look at the river. After driving from PEI this was good stopping point for us and there isn’t really many options so it was convenient for that reason.

I had a great stay! Love that the river is right out the back door! I also got to see the sunrise right from my chair inside. Would love to stay during spring!

Great property, grass is slippery at night, careful walking toward the river. If you’re lucky like we were you can see deer right outside the slider.

Laura

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Everything was pretty good except the water was brown and murky. It wasnt safe to drink, let alone shower in. There should have been a notice up about drinking water, and the water needs to be tested immediately for customer safety. Wash cloth turned dark brown where the water had run on it and it woukdnt wash out.
