This was the perfect place to stop on the way home to Fredericton on the motorcycles. Rooms are dated, but we're clean. One of the rooms, friends of ours, stayed in smelt of cigarette smoke. Service was very friendly and extremely helpful.

Best customer service I've experienced in quite some time. Front desk clerk (Abby I believe) was so friendly and down-to-earth. Requested a couple of chairs for our room and she provided them within minutes. Rooms were clean and well-kept. Chilly night but the heat worked great and warmed the room quickly. The long-distance view from our room in the back was ideal for watching a lightning storm! Odd comment, I know, but very cool! We had a great stay with no complaints.
