2/10 Poor

This place needs updating, not only in the rooms, but in the housekeeping area. When we got into our room, the musty, old smoke smell hit us. The bathtub had a dead worm and a live beetle in it. After getting rid of those, we saw another worm and beetle come up through the drain. The bathtub looked like it was not cleaned, had dirt marks or stains from the suction cups on the bathmat. There was a wet towel hanging on the rack, either it was put back up after the previous occupant left, which means it wasn’t washed, or it was put up wet, but why? The other towels were dry. The window latches were all broken so the windows at ground level don’t lock, which you can see from the outside. Add there was hair on the chair, not ours, because we just got there. So the cleaning had not been done very well. Wallpaper peeling and ripping off, and the tub surround was all cracked and repaired very badly . Worst experience I’ve ever had in any rented room!

The location was great- close to many hiking trails and look-off points in the national park. Staff was very friendly and quick to help out when needed. The room was nice and the beds comfortable, though the bathroom was badly in need of updating.

L’établissement a besoin de rénovations. C’est sombre. Tapisserie brisée par endroit. Lavabo posé croche et joint artisanal. Par contre propre et personnel très jovial et courtois.

The bed was saggy, old and unstable. Cracks in the shower walls covered by some kind of reinforcement tape.

The Mountainview Motel is an ideal motorcyclist stop-over while riding the Cabot Trail. Bikes or cars can be parked in front of the rooms and there chairs are provided in front of the rooms to relax and take in the scenery. There is a restaurant onsite with live music, that was great after a day’s riding. I would rate the property one star higher if they provided USB outlets in the rooms, like some of the other hotels along the route

I get that it's a bare bones establishment given the location, but the shower head gave very little water due to age and the tub-spout converter didn't work. Those things are easily fixed and should be.

8/10 Very Good

Upon arrival we found that the staff was very friendly and accommodating. The buildings are all single story so you can park right outside your room door, and the rooms are clean and quiet. There’s a restaurant right on the property that is open from breakfast time until 8PM and the food is delicious and reasonably priced. The only negatives I found were the mattresses were old and squeaky, and the shower/bathtub prefab unit had multiple cracks that were filled with huge amounts of caulking. With a little bit of updating/repairs, this property would definitely be a 5 star accommodation.

The location is in Capebreaton Park and close to Pleasant Bay, which is quiet and convenient for travelling stops. The room is spacious, the only drawback is that there is no fridge in the room.

An old style motel which was generally well maintained but air con was noisy and ineffective and bath had ‘Heath Robinson’ repairs so it leaked badly. Worth staying as it is in a great location but temper expectations.
