Comfort Inn Truro

10/10 Excellent

"good breakfast good service ok rooms and okay parking"

Glengarry Extended Stays

8/10 Good

"We stayed in the motel behind the main hotel. Excellent for anyone needing a long stay accommodation! It’s been updated and modernized. Clean and comfortable. As non smokers we weren’t a big fan of stepping outside to our neighbours smoking. Would be nice if there was a designated sitting area for the smokers to enjoy, not only immediately as you step outside."

Tidal Bore Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Was a great stay, and would visit again. Although harmless, as we were about to leave a knock came to the door to remind us that check out was at 11 AM. It was 11:01 and there was no one around. Not sure why they felt this was necessary. (it just made us feel a little less appreciated) We dropped the Key at the office @ 11:05"
