With this property, you cannot judge a book by its cover. When we arrived at the property I was a bit concerned because there were waist high weeds and dead plants everywhere, making the property look tired and neglected. However, we decided to check in anyway and see what the room was like and go from there. First, the gentleman who checked us in was very friendly and nice. Then when we opened the door to our room, we were pleasantly surprised. The room, including the bathroom, was very clean, there were plenty of towels, it had a fridge and microwave, and the beds were comfy, so of course we decided to stay. You can sit on the provided chairs on the lawn and watch the tide from the Bay of Fundy come in, which is the main reason we made reservations there. It was also very quiet and close to restaurants and shops. There’s a building on the property that used to be a restaurant but I think it’s permanently closed. It also has weeds growing everywhere around it. If the owners would put a little more effort into cleaning up around the buildings and the landscape, this hotel would truly be a gem.

Great location. Inn is a no frills stop; dated but clean. Owner is up front at check-in about electrical shortcomings and the work-arounds. Shower was hot. Bed a bit hard.

We stayed 2 nights. Friendly service, clean room, nice place with lawn chairs with a view on the tidal bore. The indoor furniture is a little dated but clean and functional. Overall a great place for the price. I would stay again. Thank you for great service.

Although an older establishment, our room was spotless and obviously has been renovated recently. The room size was good. We appreciated the table and chairs by the window overlooking the Salmon River at the bottom of the hill. Bill, the manager, was friendly and helpful, and we really appreciated the fact that the efficient and thorough housekeeping staff-person found a charger that we left behind and kept it for us! Price and location were major factors in staying there, too. Happy with our choice.
