What guests think

At Willow Bend Motel, guests frequently praise the friendly staff, while noting that quality varies between renovated and older units, housekeeping can be inconsistent, and the busy road location occasionally brings noise or less appealing surroundings.

Beds are widely described as comfortable, and many find the included continental breakfast good though basic, with some reports of limited variety or a missed service. Facilities include an outdoor pool that guests sometimes enjoy, but upkeep and opening times draw mixed feedback. Overall, expect a drive-up motel with uneven room conditions and a convenient yet sometimes noisy setting.

The room was clean and had all the things we needed. There is a pool but it closes at dusk so we were unable to use it. The breakfast is mostly cold but did have warm boiled eggs. There is a gas station and Tim Hortons across the street. Facecloths are available at the front desk.

The photos are deceiving as they aho the renovations from years ago. The place had not been kept up. We found a dirty rag in the room, there was dirt and hair throughout. There was mold in one of the mugs and in the shower, water damage in spots, and it smelled very musty. The pool heater was off until we asked to use it, did not heat up before the end of the night. The breakfast was ok, on the lower end of a continental breakfast.

You can tell that many thousands of dollars were spent renovating this property. Unfortunately the bathroom is very small to start with so there is very little counter space. The bed was excellent but the dresser looked like something from the 1950’s. The TV was very small and a floor lamp was broken. The heat and air conditioning were old but worked fine

Just stayed for one night on a road trip. Room had obviously been updated and looked good. Floor was freezing cold to stand on however. It was winter. I only had my snowy slushy boots. Didn’t want to wear those in the room. Perhaps they should have done in floor heating or provide slippers. Take something to wear on your feet.

Had high expectations given the other very positive reviews, but two things significantly impacted my stay and I feel are important to address: 1. There is no way to lock the door from the inside of the room (no deadbolt, no chain, not even a regular lock). When I noticed this I asked the front desk as I said I was uncomfortable. She said she would look into it and ask housekeeping. They said that there was no other rooms available but that none of their rooms had this feature, and I should be assured all doors automatically locked and could only be opened from inside or with a key. I have never stayed anywhere where this was the case. 2. The power bar in the room that the TV was plugged into shorted out 3 times during the night, causing a loud noise and once, a spark. I had nothing plugged into it, and was already on edge as there was no deadbolt on door. I didn’t want to fiddle with it in the middle of the night.

The family suite was... okay. Beds are good, lots of heat and pressure in the shower, but needs more than a little maintenance attention - AC filter, bathroom door and ceiling, extra bedding for the pull out, even the proper number of dishes and coffee packs for the microkitchen. But, if all you need for the night are a few beds, it's not bad.

I've always been a big fan of this motel. Staying many times through the years. Most recent stay I see they switched from keys to key cards which seemed fine but odd there is no additional lock on the door. It was surprising and perhaps just the one room I was in but I would suggest that's a big need for guests to feel safer. Still would plan a visit in the future.

Lovely and polite staff. Room was more worn out than pictured in Expedia, which was how I based my decision. Room was clean but the smell of the cleaning products was very strong. I didn’t have breakfast nor use the Pool. For check in, I use an Amex for hotels, and they charged an additional 7% to the room charge. In the end I spent more than I had expected. If this was listed in the Expedia description, I missed it.

Girl at front desk wasn't present. First room was super hot, smelled sour had dust and dirt under the bed just past the broom sweep. Very outdated and broken furniture and the sink wouldn't drain and black stuff came up. The shampoo and other containers were not sealed, this is a concern. Lamp shade looked like a crime scene with splatter on it. Over all we were shocked. We walked to front desk to complain about the sink not draining and we were moved to another room. This was at almost 9pm. A charger was accidentally left in first room and nobody was at front desk and the emergency number on the door said wait until next day! Next day person at front desk gave my partner the MASTER key card to enter our previous room to get charger. This is some sort of safety breach I would imagine. I don't like complaining like this but we would never ever recommend The Willow Bend to anyone. The front desk person told me partner to leave a good review! YIKES! Paid $140.... worth $35

There don’t seem to be flights anymore from Halifax to Charlottetown ( you have to go via Montreal!), so I decided to drive as far as Truro from the Stanfield airport and to tackle the Cobequid Pass in the daylight. I found the nicely appointed Willow Bend in Truro. Beware that the front office closes at 10pm. I did not notice this when I booked. In any event, I phoned them at 9:58pm, and someone made himself available when I arrived around 11. The bed and pillows were great, and I noticed a microwave and fridge. These are my main requirements for a hotel or motel. I should also mention that the room was large and spotlessly clean.

Room was nice and clean. Mattress on bed was comfortable. There was a little kitchenette in our room, which was definitely a plus. The only minus was that we booked this hotel because it was supposed to have breakfast. Usually it has that (and a nice one too). But on our first breakfast we got nothing! Nobody showed up for work. That was unpleasant.
