This place is a dump! Rust on everything that can be rusty. Has not been painted, inside and out, in decades. Insects in hotel room. Towels paper thin. Cheap old furniture. Do not stay here.

Dirty chairs, office closed at check-in at 7PM. Had to knock on room number 1 door after a gentle neighbor directed us there to get our keys. 1 towel set missing after reserving in advance for 3 adults. 20$ extra fee for the extra adult.

In order to check in, you have to call the front desk, of which I called ahead several times with no answer. There isn't anyone there all the time. On a positive note, the beds were super comfy!!! The microwave & fridge were very clean. Little fridge was great to refreeze our icepacks! The floors have been redone in laminate, but I'm not convinced they actually cleaned them before our check-in. The front windows in room didn't open but the back ones did open. The bathroom door had marks all over it, the rusty heater in the bathroom needed painting, one light missing in the bathroom mirror, and no bath towels (you'd have to call to get those apparently). We chose not to bother them and shower later. The TV remote needed new batteries, and it happened the hotel clerk was checking someone else in at the time, so we got the batteries (not the end of the world, but we're all spoiled and want to be able to change the channel while lying in bed LOL) However, even after the new batteries, the channels wouldn't change and we had to manually change the channels on the TV. Breakfast was to be included. The clerk at the desk was saying something about the fires in Shelburne, so they aren't serving it now. He had such a thick accent I couldn't make out what he was trying to tell me so I just left if alone. Covid hit a lot of businesses. However, this property needs some TLC & Attention to really meet the mark. Would I return? Maybe.

Great Price.
It’s an older motel with some updates. Reasonable price for reasonable accommodations. Only complaint was they provide a coffee maker but no coffee.

A very quiet area good for walking. Lots of deer! The property needs more upgrades but these seem to be in the works. Bed was decent if not great and sleep shouldn't be a problem.

first thing, breakfast was part of the purchase, they had no breakfast. The room smelled musty when we walked in. Inside of bathroom door was disgusting - dirty. Buttons missing on the A/C, couldn't control the temperature. Spider hanging from the corner. Cobwebs hanging from the ceiling. Gazebo wasn't set up for guests. grounds consisted of an enormous amount of mushrooms - not a good place to walk our dog. Had to pay an additional $25 for my very small dog. I feel we should receive a partial refund, because none of our party was pleased. Oh, and stains on the sheets, an earwig crawled out from under one of the sheets in our friends' room. We went to Annapolis Royal Inn the next day and it was beautiful!!!

We had a comfortable bed low enough to sit on or get onto to sleep ! There was room for all our suitcases , our groceries , and toiletries . We had a desk and a small dining set. There was an actual coffee pot and the mini fridge has a freezer. We really enjoyed the vacation , walked into town for Ship's Galley Pub , barrel factory and museum/gift shop.

The unit was partially renovated but needs attention to the bathroom vent (needs cleaning) and the electric baseboards are in need of replacement. The fridge door was hard to close. Over all it was okay to sleep there and over time it will be fixed up. A good work in progress.

We chose this hotel because it was close to our event. We booked for 5 nights and were happy it included a continental breakfast for 2. There was NO breakfast. We were assigned a room opposite the main hotel. The internet and TV were down. After 2 days we were moved to the main hotel where the internet and TV were working. The room was quite attractive, the bed was comfortable , the cleaning was superficial, the towels were very worn. We were disappointed there was no breakfast when we expected it and they were slow to move us to an area with TV and internet.

The facility is too expensive for what is provided, it needs a lot of maintenance and renovations. Windows and curtains from the 60s, rusted fixtures in the bathroom, needs some painting inside and outside. Long grass, lots of weeds and cigarette butts in front of the rooms.

This is a very basic, but clean motel. The room was very spartan, but had all the amenities listed and was quite large. The owners were welcoming, but it needs a bit of work to cheer the place up. The outside is very drab.
