The room had recently been renovated. Our teens loved the smart tv. Large bottles of shampoo, conditioner and body wash were great. The view is incredible but unfortunately the parking area blocks it if you are in the motel part of the property. The stay was quite expensive.

We stayed only for a short overnight rest after hiking in the Cape Bretton, but the cleanliness of the room and newly renovated bathroom was impressed. There are a couple of quite sandy beaches close by to swim and watch the sunset and wake up to watch the sunrise and beautiful mountain and river next morning from the room window.

Excellent stay!

We had the newly updated room, which had very comfortable beds and luxurious linens. We slept very well. The fridge was handy and the view was stunning. Nothing to complain about.

Disliked: Staff & service
This hotel have zero consideration for customers issues. With AC strike, we had to cancel our trip. Almost every other hotel reversed their charges for me because of the extreme situation, but this one would not do it - even if they were informed good 2 days before. Not only that, they were a bit rude in their response. My rating is simply based on this. Besides they double charge me. And I had to call them - a bunch of times to get it reversed. Annoying.

Nice view and convenient location. Very clean, but housekeeping person needs to chill a bit. She was at our door right at 11 (we were a little slow to leave, but only by a few minutes). I said we’d be a few more minutes and she commented that we were her “last room” (not my issue).
