Our stay had its ups and downs. The room at the motel was spacious and neatly updated, making it comfortable for our needs. The staff was incredibly helpful when we needed to switch rooms. However, the initial room at the Inn was too small and could use improvements, especially in terms of cleanliness. While the location was fantastic with easy access to local attractions, the quality of some accommodations left a bit to be desired.

Our stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The rooms were clean and bright but definitely felt dated and could use an upgrade. The location was fabulous, close to the beach and local attractions, which made exploring easy. However, the service left us feeling frustrated, especially regarding pet policies. Overall, it had a few redeeming qualities, but there were equally significant drawbacks that made it a less than ideal experience.

I had a rather disappointing stay at the hotel. While the location is fantastic, being close to the attractions, the accommodations left much to be desired. The cleanliness was satisfactory, but the overall quality of the bedding and noise levels really tarnished the experience. I likely won't return due to these issues.

We had a wonderful stay with great access to Anne of Green Gables sites and the beach. The room was spacious, but we faced some noise issues from upstairs and an unpleasant odor. The staff went above and beyond to make us feel welcome, which was a highlight. The breakfast was decent, but could use a bit more variety.
