Nice property. A bit dated but clean. The advertisement stated that it would be a lake view, but upon checking in we weren’t given a lake view. We had to pay an extra $10 as the gentleman checking us in said it was up to his discretion as to where to put customers. Not a big deal, but a bit of false advertising going on and we booked months in advance. The stretch of the motel with the lake view wasn’t even at max capacity, so why not just give it to us anyhow? Read reviews that the breakfast was good, ours was horrible. My spouse and I would definitely stay here again, though. We really loved relaxing outside our room on the deck, while looking at the lake/ocean and I enjoyed the pool. Again, dated, but very clean. The only reason I gave a low rating for safety is because the door didn’t lock. Overall, I recommend this place if you love being outside and love water.

**Absolutely loved my stay here!** I had a fantastic experience at this place. The place was clean, cozy, and had a beautiful view that made the stay even more special. The beds were very comfortable, and everything was well-maintained. I also had the pleasure of meeting the owner "Mr. Bhatti"— such a kind and welcoming person, which added a personal touch to the whole experience. Highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a peaceful and comfortable stay near Cabot trail. I’ll definitely be coming back!

Ok for the Price and his location.

The AC unit was making terrible noise, impossible to let it run during the night. At least, the night were cooler than the day so we opened the window. One towel had rest of black marks on it, like if it was « just machine cleaned ». I told about the AC to the office but because of our short stay, it was not repaired at all. Breakfast are good.
