It is ok

The experience was not that bad based on what I already saw in the review list, I mean, this is not a five star hotel, so the amount is good for the services.

Excellent location close to Halifax

Spent two nights sightseeing in the Halifax area. Hotel was fine for what we wanted to do. It wasn't a resort where you would have needed more amenities at the hotel. We really only needed the room in the evening for sleeping before continuing our travels.

Nasty Place

Everything about this place smacked of "cheap", except the price! I think even the morning coffee was watered down. And let's not talk about that "free breakfast" which is worth exactly what you pay for it. Bread was hard, jam was, well, "fruit-like", coffee was weak and two -- count 'um TWO -- types of cereal to eat! The hair dryer in the bathroom: broken. Bugs underfoot (but no cockroaches!) Stained towels in the bath room. The staff was OK but I think it's a family run deal and everyone has the same philosophy: get your money while you're in town and who cares if you ever stop back. Avoid this place -- there are plenty of others along the same stretch of road. Oh ... last comment ... they gave us a moldy room until we came back and requested one without as much mold. What's up with that? "Those rooms are moldy because they don't get sunlight ..." WELL -- WHY DID YOU GIVE IT TO US AT ALL? Boneheads ...

OK for the price

The motel was adequate. The beds were comfortable. Don't look in the corners. We were just staying one night for a next day flight.

Marginal Motel-Very Old

Worst motel that I have stayed in. Wanted to move to a better motel/hotel but was told that I would get no refund on the week's rent that I had paid. Fortunately, we were gone every day and just had to sleep there, but that was still bad. I cannot think of one positive thing about the room.

Not bad, but not good either

The free interent isn't in room but in main lobby and there is a time limit of 15 minutes on the use. There is nothing to do on the compound of the hotel at all.
