What guests think

At Rodd Grand Yarmouth, travelers consistently praise the friendly, helpful staff and the walkable location near downtown and the CAT ferry, while noting the hotel is older with ongoing renovations, dated areas, and occasionally limited on-site parking.

Rooms are generally comfortable, with some harbor views, but noise between rooms, small bathrooms, and loud air conditioners are mentioned. Facilities include a warm pool and sauna plus a restaurant and lounge, though the pool is occasionally closed and exterior construction has caused daytime noise. Dining feedback is mixed, ranging from tasty, convenient meals to slow service and limited selection. Expect a service-forward stay in a dated property that works well for a short stopover.

This place is very dated. We arrived in time to swim in the pool before our dinner reservation only to find that the pool was closed. Staff would not assist with opening the door or loading bags. We ended up eating in the onsite restaurant for dinner. The food was great! The atmosphere dated and like a diner. Our waitress was great though!

It was a nice property. The staff did put doubts about finding a spot and mentioned 3 locations. The 2nd parking lot was very dark and had no indication that it was part of the hotel. I liked that it was close to the side entrance however I found a spot behind the building. I was quite concerned that I would end up across the street in the overflow parking lot. Since the side parking lot was dark and no sign for parking. Praise the Lord I did not have to find it.

The property overall was clean and had a nice entrance area. Inside the common areas were clean and up to date. The parking could be better and needs way more than what is available. The staff were friendly and helpful. The room overall was clean with the exception of sone stains on the mattresses and an orange stain on one of the sheets and the bathroom could use some updating. Overall it was quiet and we enjoyed our stay!

I would love to know how people got clean rooms. I was greeted with a stench when I entered my room. There was trash on the side table. I had the choice between this hotel and other hotel chains in the area but decided I wanted to support local....regrettably. Once I saw the the pillows on the bed with head marks and dirt and hair all over them it was clear that someone just remade the bed and half way cleaned the room. I hate complaining but asked if I could move or at the very least have clean sheets. I was moved to a different room a few doors down and that room was a bit better, I felt confident the sheets were atleast clean. When I went to retrieve something that slipped under the bed I noticed a abundance of dirt, dust and even garbage. The pictures they show on the website are so deceiving. The room was so dinged up with half finished repairs. I was excited that the hotel had a restaurant, but after seeing the dirt and grime inboth rooms I didn't have the guts to dare eat out of their kitchen. Even the remote was caked in dirt.

My room was dusty, stale. Dining room- some of the walls in booth areas were splattered with food stains, not exactly pleasent to eat in a dirty area. Breakfast was not included with my stay. Construction going on at motel, made it difficult to get around as a person with a disability.

While staff were lovely, the property is rather shabby. The room was clean, but the phone didn't work, one lamp didn't work, and the chair was tippy. The carpet in the hall was stained. The restaurant wasn't the cleanest and needs a spruce up. Service was slow in the restaurant.

Clean, reasonably priced convenient accommodation located in the heart of downtown Yarmouth. Close to restaurants, shops and points of interest. Rooms are clean and have been recently updated with modern flooring. Hallways are in need of updating with removal of carpeting. Restaurant would benefit from showcasing local and fresh ingredients. Fish and chips tasted like frozen.

The room was nice and large, airy, clean and comfortable, with a nice view of the port. The staff were very friendly and courteous. The hotel is in a great, convenient location and I would most likely stay here again if I ever return to Yarmouth. My only negative is that the walls in my particular room seemed very thin, because I could hear people in the next room talking and from my bathroom I could hear other people's bodily noises, which is not very pleasant.

The staff at this hotel are consistently and exceptionally friendly and helpful but the hotel needs a lot more than just a coat of paint. Doors don’t close properly, bathrooms need an update, curtains are from the 70’s and include the preformed ripples. The bedding has been updated but the furniture is no newer than the 90’s. In many places the wallpaper was starting to peel off the wall and the towel racks are ready to fall.

Drop off area was good, parking limited, we had to park on side street. Check in was easy, all staff were courteous and friendly throughout our stay. We ate at both restaurants and the food and selections were good, our room needed many updates. Insufficient room in bathroom, missing towel bar, small counter area. Good water pressure, sufficient hot water. Beds were comfortable, sufficient pillows. Need to update lamps, especially for reading. Plenty of drawer space/desk space. The biggest complaint was the air conditioner. It was extremely loud, compressor sounded like an airplane taking off and seemed to run continuously, which made sufficient sleeping an issue. Fresh spring water available in lobby 24 hrs. Due to needed updates and air conditioning issue we gave it a 3 star.

I’ve stayed at this property several times and have always enjoyed my stay. This time however, I found the service in the on-site restaurant terribly slow. The first night I waited an hour for a bowl of soup and some wings. Food was not bad. Second night I waited an hour for some chicken. I walked out at that point because it was far too long. A customer who ordered before me received his onion rings after waiting an hour, asked the server how long til his burger would be ready, she said a few more minutes still. Unreal. The place had about 10 guests, so it certainly wasn’t busy. I found somewhere else to eat just down the street. I’ll stay at the property again, but won’t eat at the resto.

The window could be opened which is a nice treat that most hotels don’t have (i dislike AC if I can get a cool breeze from outside). The restaurant menu is varied, and the food I and my friend had was delicious.

Packed in with neighbors in an empty motel. Paper thin walls and when my neighbors conversed or entered the room I had to double check to ensure they were not entering my room. Worst hotel during my three week tour of the Atlantic Provinces in which all other hotels were 5 star reviews. Frustration only exacerbated by an apathetic response from the customer representative at checkout. I will be returning to the Maritimes but not to a Rodd property.
