It was clean and quiet. The staff was very friendly. The motel is a good choice for a short stay of 1 to 3 nights. It could do better with some upgrades of the facilities.

Quiet area, stayed here while visiting tobermory. The walls are thin so you could hear some outside noise. Overall given the price it was a reasonable accommodation.

Great place to stop overnight in Ferndale, the rooms could use updating and A/C would be a great asset. But all in all it's a quaint little place, kept very clean and the owners are fantastic and offered great communication through the entire visit.

Great Little Local Motel
Fantastic service! This was a very local motel where we stayed one night in 2 rooms (out of the 4 available). This was a no frills stay in a quiet area, a reasonable drive from Tobermory. Great place to get a good night's sleep. The owner was so accommodating with our arrival, and the free parking was great.

The motel was nice, clean and quiet for a short trip of one night stay.
Janet, one of the staff, was super friendly and gave us lots of information about the area.
I recommend this motel as it’s very close to Tobermory around 30minutes and you can explore Lion’s Head as well.

Its location is right on hwy 6. The location is a 5 star.
It is a short distance to many attractions.
Friendly hotel host but moldy smell in the room. We were on the first floor and whenever ppl upstairs walks, it sounded like they will break the ceiling and fall down

Our overall experience was good and Janet is a great host.
I beleive we shouldnt expect too much from motels in the area, and we booked it just to sleep overnights since there's a lot to do in the area from beaches and hiking and it met our expectations.
