Our room was not great at best! The bed was terrible, the bathroom not great but I guess the price reflected on it. We stayed in 10 hotels/motels along our Maritime trip and this was the worst hands down.

This unit looked nothing like the pictures on Expedia and was quite dirty. The unit was dim, smelled moldy and bedsheets were not clean. We checked in as 2 adults and all they provided us with was 1 coffee pod, 1 shampoo and 1 shower gel. Luckily there were sufficient towels. The microwave door was jammed on most occasions and we had to ask for cups (plastic ones provided for coffee) and toilet roll. I feel I can go on and on whining about this unit but enough said.
