Newish building next to the Trans Canada Highway, but well insulated from traffic noise. The room was spacious and well lit as was the bathroom (shower over bath). As it is a large place with long corridors we appreciated the self-closing doors that were quiet - many we have encountered in the past bang. The helpful receptionist provided a local... more

I stayed at the Super 8 on the way to PEI. Fresh, clean rooms and spacious pool with waterslide and a hot tub. Continental breakfast was small but adequate considering it was free. Helpful front desk staff and ample parking made for a great stay. Located right off the highway and groceries/restaurants next door. Would definitely stay again!! more

We had a previous stay at this hotel and were not thrilled with it. Mostly just little things, but the staff didn't appear to go out of their way to address our concerns throughout our 5 day stay, but did try to placate us when we were checking out. We decided to try it again and this time we were... more

We flew in from Ireland to Halifax and needed to go to a family wedding in the neighbouring state of New Brunswick. So we decided that a stop over after the plane journey was essential to break up the long drive. We opted for the Motel 8 Amherst, and are very glad we did. We paid for a jacuzzi room... more

I enjoyed staying there at the Super 8. We stayed at the beginning and end of our Nova Scotia trip. The first night we didnt get in until 3:30 am because of all the heavy rain as we came thru Bangor ME an New Brunswick. We were about 2.5 hours off our target time. So we were exhausted. The room... more

This is a relatively new hotel. Staff is extremely accomodating although they could use more help. We had to wait to check out while the person was checking the chlorine level in the pool! The woman taking care of the breakfast bar was filling in at the front desk but could not do a check out. Not a problem as... more

I don't usually stay at Super 8 motels but in this case I'm glad I took a chance. The staff was friendly and efficient, and our room was spacious, newly decorated, and absolutely spotless. We were happy to find that in-roof safes have recently been installed, but if you don't use it you can have the small charge for it... more

Booked a room well in advance. Called the day before to say we would be late arrival, and was told it was noted on our reservation. Flew from Los Angeles to Newark to Halifax and then drove 2 hours to get to their en route to Prince Edward Island. Place was packed and to the desk clerk's "surprise," she showed... more

I will admit that I'm very picky. But, I give this hotel my highest ratings. The rooms are super clean, super large and the staff super friendly. The pool is a bit small, but the 80ft water slide makes up for that. The kids loved it. Breakfast is satisfactory. My son's hockey team stayed here and the staff treated us... more
