The bed was saggy, old and unstable. Cracks in the shower walls covered by some kind of reinforcement tape.

The Mountainview Motel is an ideal motorcyclist stop-over while riding the Cabot Trail. Bikes or cars can be parked in front of the rooms and there chairs are provided in front of the rooms to relax and take in the scenery. There is a restaurant onsite with live music, that was great after a day’s riding. I would rate the property one star higher if they provided USB outlets in the rooms, like some of the other hotels along the route

I get that it's a bare bones establishment given the location, but the shower head gave very little water due to age and the tub-spout converter didn't work. Those things are easily fixed and should be.

Upon arrival we found that the staff was very friendly and accommodating. The buildings are all single story so you can park right outside your room door, and the rooms are clean and quiet. There’s a restaurant right on the property that is open from breakfast time until 8PM and the food is delicious and reasonably priced. The only negatives I found were the mattresses were old and squeaky, and the shower/bathtub prefab unit had multiple cracks that were filled with huge amounts of caulking. With a little bit of updating/repairs, this property would definitely be a 5 star accommodation.

The location is in Capebreaton Park and close to Pleasant Bay, which is quiet and convenient for travelling stops. The room is spacious, the only drawback is that there is no fridge in the room.

An old style motel which was generally well maintained but air con was noisy and ineffective and bath had ‘Heath Robinson’ repairs so it leaked badly. Worth staying as it is in a great location but temper expectations.

Enjoy to stay
We are really enjoying it. The location is perfect with such a breathtaking mountain view, especially convenient for us planing to do the skyline trail. The on-site restaurant spoiled all the guests. If only a hair dryer could add to the room.

Staff was very helpful and friendly. Facility was more like a cottage than a motel. Restaurant was basic, but the food was good and again the staff was wonderful.
