Loved the amazing view from our bed! Literally laying in bed staring through the window at the fall leaves was breathtaking! The young erver working with the cabot trail t shirt and stretched ears was absolutely AMAZING! Customer service and friendliness through the roof - give them a raise ASAP! The bed we had was honestly awful... completely sunk in in the middle so my partner and i were sunk in.. awful sleep. Need new bed in room #1 ASAP. The bathtub was awful looking and the lack of fridge jn the room was frustrating considering there are no places to buy food or drinks in pleasant bay so you need to being your own while doing the trail. The price for one night doesnt reflect the comfort you wish, especially for a bed and fridge.

This place needs updating, not only in the rooms, but in the housekeeping area. When we got into our room, the musty, old smoke smell hit us. The bathtub had a dead worm and a live beetle in it. After getting rid of those, we saw another worm and beetle come up through the drain. The bathtub looked like it was not cleaned, had dirt marks or stains from the suction cups on the bathmat. There was a wet towel hanging on the rack, either it was put back up after the previous occupant left, which means it wasn’t washed, or it was put up wet, but why? The other towels were dry. The window latches were all broken so the windows at ground level don’t lock, which you can see from the outside. Add there was hair on the chair, not ours, because we just got there. So the cleaning had not been done very well. Wallpaper peeling and ripping off, and the tub surround was all cracked and repaired very badly . Worst experience I’ve ever had in any rented room!

The location was great- close to many hiking trails and look-off points in the national park. Staff was very friendly and quick to help out when needed. The room was nice and the beds comfortable, though the bathroom was badly in need of updating.

L’établissement a besoin de rénovations. C’est sombre. Tapisserie brisée par endroit. Lavabo posé croche et joint artisanal. Par contre propre et personnel très jovial et courtois.

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.
