Really enjoyed our stay. Rooms itself great, bathroom needs an upgrade. New caulking around bathtub and painted trim would be a big improvement but the experience itself was great.

Views and pub are terrific
Pros: the views are amazing, definitely the key feature. The attached pub is excellent... great food and drinks at very reasonable prices, with love trad music a couple evenings a week. Staff are very welcoming and nice. There is a little convenience store/liquor store in the building, which is great, as Iona is far from the nearest shopping centre. Cons: beds were pretty hard... new mattresses needed unless you like a very firm mattress. Top sheet has strains on it that looked like they had been there a while. In general, rooms could use an update/refresh, especially for $150/ night. Overall, we were happy enough with our stay. Things were clean, everyone was nice... just needs a spruce up. Would definitely stay again with a few updates... at least we would come back for the pub. Best Thanksgiving dinner I've had in quite a while.

Outstanding customer service
Amazing customer service, went above and beyond for us as we arrived late due to the ferry being delayed. Would definitely stay here next time I’m in the area.

As expected for a motel, slightly renovated and did the job for our one night stay. Some of the sheets and towels were stained.

After a long day of driving, we arrived to a band playing Scottish music and a restaurant full of friendly people! Sat with some locals and another couple from Wisconsin! The motel view was phenomenal! Pork chop and ribs were delicious!

Everyone was so nice.. The dining room/ menu was great. We loved sitting out in the lobby reading and looking out at the gorgeous view.. The was a nice walking/hiking path right up the road that took us up and out over the ocean to see the seals... It was a relaxing wonderful time.

The property location is very beautiful but a little difficult to find on the gps. Recommend to get there during daylight as it is a bit difficult to see the building from the road at night as it’s on a small hill. The view from the rooms during the day are amazing. The front desk is very nice and friendly.
