My room was very old, no recent updates in the room or facility, pillows were the only good thing. old tv, bath was very old looking. not sure if i'd stay again with out updates. definitely not worth the rate.

I was going to write a stellar review-until I realized that I left my perscription drugs at the HJ. I phoned the front desk to see if they had found them. The front desk person told me that Housekeeping Staff had found them and that I could 'come by today to pick them up'. Huh? I was at the HJ... More

We stayed at this hotel from April 25-28th of 2013. I have no complaints, our room was clean and our stay comfortable. This is an older building taken over by new owners and renovated, but it is clean and comfy. Greg who works the front desk provided exceptional customer service! The continential breakfest was a very yummy breakfest sandwich with... More

We stayed there 3 nights during summer 2009, sorry that was not recently. The room was OK, and the breakfast also. But please avoid rooms that are closed to the restaurant. That's the one they gave us and it's rather noisy, because of the cooling system on the same side. But it's a cheap place to stay if you want... More

The room was simply horrible, and we weren't overly impressed by the amount of bugs in the room (earwigs and large beetle-types). The toilet wouldn't always flush, the wi-fi only gave us limited connection, which meant we couldn't use it at all. I see reviews that renos are happening at this motel, well they sure weren't happening in this room.... More

I am sorry that you did not have a good experience your first night in Nova Scotia. When a customer, group or any guest is not completely happy with their room, breakfast or anything concerning their stay, encourage them to speak with the General Manager. Constructive comments are one of the best ways to improve disatisfaction. I will agree that... More

Overpriced. No wi-fi although advertised. TERRIBLE breakfast options. (Cereal in plastic bulk bags out on the counter. Almost-empty milk jugs. One slow toaster. Wonderbread. This should have been a 49.99 hotel, not even joking. Far away from any interesting sites. Basically on a highway next to some condo developments. OOPS! Feel sheepish about this pick. And very disappointed.
