We picked this motel because of it's location to Gros Morne National Park and it was hosting the Fall Festival Special dinner in the restaurant that night. In addition we had tickets for the local evening Festival show at a venue within walking distance. I paid extra for an ocean view room. We did have this but it was looking through a tall chain link fence around the closed outdoor pool. Our room was very small, with a single double bed for sleeping. Unfortunately the room was set up with the bed fastened against one wall so that I basically had to crawl over my partner to get out. There was a small fridge but no microwave. Fortunately the restaurant was very good for dinner and breakfast. I definitely feel the room was not good value for what we paid .
