We stayed for two nights after the ferry was cancelled. Clean rooms and good amenities. The rooms also had heat pumps which was great. The beds could use an upgrade and the bathroom could use a refresh. Decent value for the price we paid. Close to stores and the NL Ferry.

The Staff was exceptional upon my late arrival, after being delayed on the ferry. He was a very kind and helpful. Upon entry to my room, I noticed how clean it was and so spacious! The only thing I would have liked to have seen was a body wash instead of face soap for the shower. However with that being said I could have brought my own in and didn’t haha. I’d say this was a wonderful place to stay and will book after every ferry crossing because it’s so close and it was nice to wake refreshed and drive to NB alert! Great job on your hired team!
