It was a perfect location for catching the ferry to Newfoundland the next day. Literally 1 minute from the ferry terminal. Food in the restaurant both for dinner and breakfast was excellent, and the staff were very helpful and informative about the ferry service. Would definitely stay here again.

Property was okay but dated. Good news is that the outside is getting a facelift and it will look fantastic when complete. Room was clean but the carpets were not the best. Beds were comfortable and the lines smelled fresh. The lady at the front desk was nice and helpful. No microwaves in the room but found one down at the end of the hallway sitting on a table to use. Overall was an okay stay but the rooms are overpriced for what you get.
