Everything about our experience here was great. The room was clean, front desk people were friendly. The room was like having your own little 2 bedroom apartment, with a kitchen and living room. Will definitely look into staying her again when ever we come to a show at the Decoste Centre.

This is pretty much a place construction workers stay at. Unfortunately there was an altercation going on with someone clearly not in a normal state of mind trying to get a room for his buddy and a couple young ladies so he started trashing the front entrance. The young fellow that was representing the motel locked the door and called the police I found it entertaining but most would probably not be comfortable with this

Room nice with 2 double beds, bathroom small but very clean. Kitchenette a bit underwhelming but we didnt use. its a great location to enjoy Pictou and the waterfront as short, easy drive. Had issues turning on tv but didnt really need it. Would stay there again, like having outside access to room.
