The motel is praised for its clean, comfortable rooms and attentive, friendly hosts who contribute positively to the guest experience. Many reviews highlight the peaceful atmosphere and scenic ocean views, though guests seeking a water view should specify this preference when booking.

Loved the motel. The room is clean, owner is super nice, good continental breakfast and the view is amazing. L’anse aux meadows is close by and for gas St Anthony is 20 min away.
Delighted with this place. Friendly hosts, clean comfortable rooms, a wonderful view of the ocean and silence, only the roosters crow. Breakfast with an ocean view, worth the stated cost. Thank you for the rest and hospitality! Ukrainian family Kryshtal from Holyrood.
Amazing location, beautiful view to wake up to. Great Customer service and clean cozy rooms.
I’m surprised by the negative reviews. We had a wonderful stay here. The location is great. The innkeeper is a great host. He showed up within 5 minutes when the shower faucet was malfunctioning at 10:30 PM at night. He fixed it on the spot. He was beyond hospitable and helpful to us. Shared 2 huge bowls of mussels with us just because. Made the laundry room accessible to us. I didn’t have much of an expectation but would absolutely stay here again!!!
Quiet, Peaceful beautiful view, meticulously clean. Comfortable bed and plenty of room. Parking laid out so I could back right up to my door for loading unloading. Great hosts
It's a nice place but if you want a water view you must specify. It's a half hour drive to Saint Anthony for restaurants or sightseeing. It's very isolated.
This was a pretty fabulous stay, right on the Ocean. And the host had a bottle of rosè to make our 10 year anniversay visit so special! Norma was so kind and helpful if we needed anything. And we were glad to run into to her again on our last day in St. Anthony at Rebel coffee house. I would book here again in a heartbeat. Very cool to see the tides go in and out. It was also centrally located for us, near the airport, St. Anthony & L'Anse aux Meadows.
Very welcoming environment. Owners were so great and gave ideas and information on local travel ideas. Room was so quaint and clean. Location is rural but so beautiful. Signage very clear. Property is on the water and has amazing views. So peaceful and quiet. Will stay again, next time I visit NFL. You won’t regret your stay here.
