Average stay for a motel. Dated fixtures and the wifi was really slow.

Not much bad to say about this property. Beds are comfortable, rooms are clean. Amenities are satisfactory. Only reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is because maids began rolling their (noisy) cleaning carts past our window way too early in the morning. Like, 7:30am. Woke us up.

Clean and spacious. Easy parking in front of your room. Small suggestion, put a hand towel ring on the wall next to the vanity

the motel was great for us and served our reasons for beng there perfectly! We will come again for sure! One comment, the shower head in our room needs repair, it makes it less pleasant to shower, small detail and one I think you may not know about unless another guest lets you know! thanks Kate and Brad

This is a great choice for someone on a budget who wants to have a clean and comfortable room close to downtown Belfast. It appears to have been recently renovated and has modern conveniences. The mattress seems new but it was quite thick and soft which really kills my back. But maybe others love the warmth and coziness of such mattresses, so I can't fault them for it. The heat works very well but it does blow all night, cycling on and off. The microwave, mini fridge, clean bathroom, and ample space to move around in the room were all appreciated. The staff were available when they said they would be and were friendly/efficient.

We stopped here for a rest after a long day of traveling. The room was so clean and cozy. Only about 4 minute drive from shops and restaurants, but not within walking distance of much. Everything was quiet and it had all the amenities you could need for a hotel room, including microwave, coffee maker, and a small refrigerator. Front desk staff member was kind and check in was super easy. Thankful for this little hotel after a long travel day.

Perfectly acceptable, clean and comfortable. Like most places these days, there is no daily housekeeping. It would been nice to have access to recycling containers and to a centrally located bin for used food containers or food waste (peels, etc.).

Updated strip-style motel with modern comforts and a clean safe feeling. Good location a short drive from town where you’ll find a variety of good restaurants and shops. Great stopping spot on the drive up to Acadia.

The room had a musty smell when we first went in. Other than that it was great.

Response from Billie on Aug 28, 2023
Thank you for your response. We are sorry to hear that the room was musty. With the the unprecedented amount of rain we have received our team of housekeepers has been working extra hard to keep the rooms from the musty smell that comes with the dampness.
