    It suited our needs although it was a bit quiet and reception not always manned.

    Fantastic location if you want to go to the beach and comfortable room. Pleasant staff.

    We wanted to stay longer!!

    The staff were friendly and helpful. The location was amazing. We slept with the window open so we could hear the waves on the beach. The bed was super comfortable, and it was a king size. The room was really clean.

    The kitchenette was very basic and cramped. There’s only one burner and virtually no counter space. The microwave is old and should be replaced because it doesn’t work well. The bedroom needs a door or curtain because it faces the bathroom and gets all the light if someone uses the bathroom during the night.

    Excellent location close to the beach. Very quiet, very dark sky at night. The bed (cabin 2) was firm and very comfortable.

    We did have to drive to Meteghan to find a restaurant. But we didn’t mind.

    The view of the beach and the fact it was a two minute walk to the beach.

    It's not exactly cheap but then again, Nova Scotia is quite expensive in general (hotels, motels etc.).

    Excellent view, very short walk down to the beach (best for swimming during low tide). The rooms are a bit old school but the view is exceptional.

    I was not comfortable on the FIRM bed. The bedding, including the pillows, however, was clean and comfortable. The mattress is my only complaint.

    I loved looking at the ocean through my back window!

    Room 6 has no screens on any of the windows so anything can get in when the windows are open. Because no air conditioning or air exchanger, windows do need to be opened. Toilet was slow and clogged. Carpet looks like it needs a deep cleaning. Because of the clogged toilet, we were moved to room 4 for the next 2 nights. That room had screens on all the windows and working toilet. We needed a fridge and Sherry brought one in. The laminate flooring is great. The beds need stops on the casters because the beds move when you sit down on them. This could cause a bad injury, especially if someone was elderly or mobility impaired. We had to brace the beds against the wall.

    What breakfast? Your question was how did I like breakfast. I brought my own because I wasn't sure if there was one and when I arrived I was told there isn't one offered. Staff was good. Helpful and took care of some issues we had with the room.

    Sofa isn’t very comfortable. Remote didn’t work but we didn’t ask for a replacement. Water has an odd odor making washing face, etc. unpleasant. Again I don’t think it’s anything they can do about it and it wasn’t a deal breaker.

    Close to the beach. Owner is very friendly.

    Nothing. Lots of fog but that's not the hotel's fault.

    Location on Malvilette Beach is superb. Allowed us to boogie board in the surf, walk along the shore beach combing. Lots of great sea food restaurants within easy drive. clean, updated rooms (from our last stay).

    The breakfast was good but very limited. our room was clean and comfortable and you know you are staying in an older unit. We felt the cost was high for the value received.

    It was close to the ocean … down a hill and across the road. We could see it from our room. The staff was amazingly friendly and helpful. They recommended and got us reservations at the most amazing restaurant.

    Nothing really. When I spend time away from home, I expect things to be different than what I am used too.

    Breakfast was limited but what I expected for a continental. Fruit, coffee, cereal, muffins and yogurt.

    Fabulous location on one of Nova Scotia's unspoiled beaches; clean motel/cabins, welcoming staff.

    The facility itself is tired, though very clean, which matters. It needs some infrastructure dollars. Its location is worth the investment, as the French shore has beautiful communities and good, un-harried roads for cycling. There are a couple of very good restaurants nearby but unfortunately due to the wonkiness of Covid re-openings, likely staff challenges, these places were not open the days we were visiting the area.

    This is a fabulous location with a wonderful view and close access to another one of the most beautiful sandy (and uninhabited) beaches of Nova Scotia. The manager is wonderful, warm, welcoming, and attached to those who stay (as there are some long-stay people), wanting the best experience for them, and us. Caring. Thoughtful. Helpful. A good cup of coffee, home made breads, apples for free breakfast.

    Mavilette seems to have nothing to offer other than it's proximity to the Yarmouth ferry. The motel is run-down and uncared for. It may be great for RV travelers but the rooms have little to recommend them. Our "neighbors" talked so loudly and late that we politely asked them to pipe down, which thy did.

    We choose Mavilette because of its proximity to Yarmouth, from which we'd planned to take the ferry to Bar Harbor. When the ferry was canceled, due to high winds, I'd've canceled the motel, if I could. The motel overlooks a long. wide, clean beach In the distance, with few very few visitors - wonderful for a beach walk. But in the middle ground is an unsightly RV park.
