We didn't book in advance, we just showed up and they had a room available. The room was simple - two double beds, a desk, a mini fridge, and bathroom. The motel is the absolute cleanest place I have ever stayed in! The breakfast is light - but that is stated in the motel description online, by the information centre,... More

We stayed here for a night while driving the Cabot Trail. Price was decent (around $70) and we were given room 2 with an "ocean view". We were pleasantly surprised at how clean the room was - the wood floors are much better than carpets you usually find at motels. In fact, Merry's was cleaner than many of the more... More

This motel is clean but the furnishings are very 50's and worn. The beds are hard and the towels are small and thin. We stayed in the condo unit with 2 beds in the loft. There was a third bed but it was like a teaspoon and unusable and fortunately we did not need it. The stairs to the loft... More

This is one of my best motel because of the great ocean view. I opened my window in my bedroom and I could hear the ocean breeze... I slept like a baby. The beach is absolutely beautiful. Price is reasonable and it is very friendly.

This was my second year staying at Merry's Motel as part of a bike tour around the Cabot Trail. The rooms in the motel are neat, tidy and comfortable. The motel is set back from the road so it is quiet. There are some comfy Adirondack style chairs outside of each room and it is quite pleasant to sit out... More

We had a nice stay at Merry's B&B. We had B&B room #9 with garden and sea view and a shared bathroom. But they also have some motel room on the back of the house (with private bathroom). It's quiet and clean, 2 mn walking distance from harbour and restaurants. Owners are from switzerland, and the wife is very friendly.... More

Stayed here for one night while driving the Cabot Trail. Room was small, but clean. Beds were comfortable. Bathroom was tiny with a shower stall. A breakfast of toast and muffins was included. The owner recommended a whale watching tour to us that was fantastic--we saw a dozen whales, and it was the highlight of our vacation. There are several... More

I was travelling on the Cabot Trail with my cousin and 2 aunts in July-August of 2012. We started on the east side of the trail and made our way around to Cheticamp for the night. We had booked a room at Merry's a few days prior and were lucky to have gotten it as nothing else was available for... More

I was delighted to stay in such a cozy, well-run establishment. I cannot speak for the motel, but stayed in the Bed and Breakfast room. The price was $50 which included a typical European-style continental breakfast of a muffin, coffee and fruit. The owners, being from Switzerland, made me feel as if I was back in Europe. The bed was... More

Stayed here on day 3 of our 4-day cycle of the Cabot Trail, our room was very basic but impeccably clean with a small fridge; no A/C but a fan and windows front and back offering good ventilation; walking distance to a few good spots to eat. Susan was friendly and helpful and offered to put our bikes in the... More
