Hopewell Rocks Motel & Country Inn

I don't like leaving negative reviews as everyone can have bad days. If visiting Hopewell Rocks Park twice the drive to Alma for food & an overnight rest is a much better alternative to this 'convenient motel'.

This an older motel with the benefit of being very close to Hopewell Rocks. The price perhaps a bit high but again, location! The place as a nice appeal, decently kept but a bit tired. Room was clean, sleep good, but a bit of musty smell. The view from the veranda is lovely (ocean). The "free" breakfast was decent but not as varied as some others. resturant dinner was decent. The dining room had some interesting artifacts and nice ambience. the owner was friendly. It was too cool to enjoy the outdoor pool but would be great on a sunny warm day. Would stay again if in area.

I won't say the motel is bad but the women who was working the counter was rude and ignorant. The rooms are dated and the air conditioner did not work. I WOULD never stay there again. I Booked a queen room but got two double beds and was rudely told that was tough.

When you are scrolling through the reviews and are unsure to stay or not....don't! I was aware that this motel was rated as a 3 star motel. Ok, I get it...don't expect much. In the back of my mind, I was hoping I could report back to say it was a "diamond in the rough" but I didn't have high expectations. My husband and I stayed one night...I certainly wouldn't have stayed an additional night! Good points: coloured TV and the air conditioner worked. Bad points: no view of the ocean, lawn not trimmed, dated porch, key would not work properly in door (needs new doorknob), greeted with loud dehumidifier with some sort of strong fragrance to cover the smell of god knows what!, hard to find light fixtures (arrived at dark), very uncomfortable hard double bed with only 3 pillows, bathroom didn't have a counter to set toiletries on, tap knobs rusted, shower was really hard to set a good temperature and once you found a good temperature, it would switch from cold to steaming hot!, towels felt damp (I was unsure if they were used or just not fully dried), we could hear the people upstairs walking and no deadbolt, just a lock on the doorknob. We had been given complimentary breakfast vouchers but once I read the reviews on the restaurant, we decided to not take our chances and left the motel first thing in the morning and won't ever be back. I'm sure this place makes A LOT of money during the peak season since it is so close to the provincial park...they can do a whole lot better and should!

After many hours of driving we arrived here. We had called ahead to ask when the restaurant closed, the guy said he would keep it open. We arrived, it was closed and so was everything else close by. We went to a gas station and had junk food for dinner! Ok when you are 10! Bed was comfortable. Room is outdated. You can hear everything from other rooms….talking, showers, toilets flushing and when they walked on their floor our floor creaked. Sounded like they were in our room! The people below us had tv or music on- apparently they live there. We talked to the owner and he spoke to them and turned it off/ down. The pool was green….not sure it I’ll open this summer. Breakfast was a choice of muffins from a grocery store, bread, pb, jam, coffee, yogurt, an hard boiled egg, oatmeal and juice. We did leave a special pillow there and called sometime later and they had it , so we drove back to get it! That was nice ! After some TLC the rooms could be restored to their former glory. The shower was great. Close to Hopewell Rocks so a big plus!

First off some positives : this is not as bad as some of the other reviews would suggest! First, it is in a good location, right next to the entrance to Hopewell Rocks, so really convenient if the beach is only open for a short time early in the morning / late evening. There's a great view, and it's only a 40 minute drive to Alma / Fundy National Park, and there was a warm/helpful welcome at reception. Secondly, although it's close to the main road, it's quiet and comfortable. The room was well equipped with a good TV, large fridge, coffee machine, the bed was clean and comfortable, and the heating was good (still needed this early in the season). There was also a small wooden table and chairs in the room, some plastic seating just outside and some picnic benches in the lawn area. There is also a small pool and childrens play area (didnt use either so cant vouch for how good or bad they are) On the less positive side, the bathroom at the back of the room is a bit strange: the shower took some getting used to but once you worked out that turning to cold made it hot and turning to hot made it cold, and managed to balance the temperature it was fine. The location of the toilet on an angle was odd, and it would be useful to have a shelf or something to put your toiletries. The breakfast room is lovely, with some nice views over the Bay of Fundy, but the breakfast options were limited: toast, cereal, muffins and hard boiled eggs. I stayed a couple of nights and it was fine : probably wouldn't want to stay longer, and this isn't for anyone expecting modern hotel luxury. It does feel a little dated.
