Very good except for the noise
Pros:

The room was spacious and had a king-size bed. Breakfast was really good, with eggs, sausages and a range of cold items. Staff were friendly and helpful. The location was very convenient, with supermarkets and highways nearby.

Cons:

There was so much road noise, which lasted all night, that I needed earplugs to get any sleep

Nice stopover on our way to the Bay of Fundy.
Pros:

Last minute booking when we changed our itinerary,thankfully there were some rooms available .
Nice pool and hot tub. Breakfast was standard but not bad. Waffle maker on site.
Nicely decorated for Thanksgiving/ fall.

Cons:

With the abundance of blueberries in the area you would think they would promote some fresh berries with the waffles and add some whipped cream.
We had a room on the lower floor facing the highway and it was a bit noisy.

Good overnight base for touring.
Pros:

Good location for either visiting Nova Scotia, New Brunswick or Prince Edward Island. All the facilities you could need, decent self-serve buffet breakfast.

Cons:

The pillows were very odd, big think square?
It would have been nice to have some proper cutlery as breakfast, hard to do anything with a small flimsy plastic knife and fork.

You were the only place that provided a true handicap accommodation.
Pros:

Staff was friendly and helped me navigate the breakfast area and waffle maker.
Handicap bathroom was large and the seat in the tub allowed my wife to have her first full shower on the trip.

Cons:

I would have liked to have a restaurant to have dinner in.

I would not recommend this destination to anyone.

I cannot think of anything being pleasant.

Pros:

Boys wanted a pool...great for smaller children. Breakfast was great.. receptionist at check in was amazingly attentive

Found a bag of moldy bread in drawer under the TV and black hair on wall above the shampoo in the shower. Tub/shower was a stained kind of brownish color.
