Nice, clean motel, about a minute from the submarine and Empress of Ireland exhibits. Full kitchen, they even had fresh ground coffee!

Great location, friendly staff and clean room, as an english-speaker I had no problems checking in! The room is cute with a nice shared balcony with good view for sitting outside when you want to relax. Super dog friendly and even include some treats for the pup in the room! I would definitely return! Room wasn't huge, but very clean and appropriate for the price. Merci Beaucoup!

A very comfortable little motel. Room was small but bright and clean and had everything we needed. Had a small issue but the staff was helpful and even gave us a discount, which we did not expect! Great location by a lighthouse and an excellent museum. Great value!
