Only issue is that people with big cars had issues parking since you had the columns next to the parking space. Only place to really park was at the end of the motel.

The view from the motel was beautiful and relaxing with a nice sitting area overlooking the water. We had the pleasure of meeting the owner who was very pleasant and accommodating. The rooms were a bit warm but cooled off decently during the night. We did have our windows open which unfortunately meant we could not avoid the smell of occasional cigarette smoke with the odd whiff of weed but it was never overwhelming. The rooms were older but clean and the kitchenette was handy. We would stay again.

Nice with oddities

Overall nice hotel with a beautiful lake and nice owner.Clean, well located for Halifax and the shoreline with Peggy's Cove etc A bit dated with old fashioned room keys but we didn't care. Some oddities. For example showers are mostly handicapped accessible with floor level entrance and bars BUT there's no shelf or other place in the shower to put soap and shampoo except on the floor. Ridiculous if you're handicapped. Parking spaces are narrow with concrete poles that scratch your car if you miscalculate. Outside the room are very bright lights that the curtains don't block completely. But, overall we enjoyed our stay.

Great location in a very nice neighborhood, safe and close to coffee shops and convenience stores. A great place to stay if you’re road tripping as you have access to many roads/highway’s from there. Very welcoming staff ...!!

It is very clean, comfortable and affordable in a safe neighborhood with a pretty lake behind it. There are restaurants nearby and its an easy drive to Halifax. The negatives are no big deal, but it is odd. No one works in the office. You have to push a button to call someone who may or may not answer. There's a man that lives in one of the rooms and sits outside the office. At first, we thought, "Oh God, we are at a motel where homeless people live", but it end up that he works there. He will not speak to you or get anyone to help you when you can't get ahold of anyone to check in, though. He just sits outside the office and silently observes. The parking lot is tight if you have a big vehicle. No big deal. The homeless guy decided to wait until the lot was full before washing the railing on the 2nd floor balcony, so water was pouring down on all of the vehicles. It didn't hurt anything, but it sure was weird to walk out of the room to see water pouring onto all the vehicles. Apparently the homeless guy heard me say, "What the heck?", because a couple hours later, he randomly confronted me by saying, "Water doesn't hurt nothin!" a couple times. That was the only time he spoke to us. (My husband had said harsher words than, "What the heck", but the homeless guy only confronted me. Not my husband.) When I went to check out, there was another bewildered couple outside of the locked lobby who were trying to get ahold of anyone for a receipt.
