Room was clean and large. Comfy bed. Very minimalist kind of room. Easy access off of 95, and couldn’t hear highway noise! Breakfast was lacking…never brewed a fresh pot of decaf coffee! They had homemade jam for English muffins.

All the basics done well

Roadside hotel, recently redone. Up-ro-date furnishings. Nothing fancy, but good basic place. A list of TV channels would be nice since it takes a while to fihre things out. Perfect for a night on a road trip.

We stayed at The Elmwood only very briefly, en route to Cape Breton, but were very pleased with the cleanliness and comfortable bed and quiet surroundings. Due to traffic delays we arrived well after their usual office hours (7a-7p) but management had arranged to have a clerk on the desk to greet us -- we very much appreciated that above-and-beyond service.
