What guests think

Across reviews, Homeward Inns of Canada is praised as a clean, budget-friendly stop with very friendly staff and an easy, convenient location near St. Francis Xavier University, the highway, and many dining options, with parking right outside rooms.

Rooms are basic and dated in places, though some have been refreshed; sizes vary from small to very spacious, beds range from very comfortable to quite firm, and in-room extras like heat pumps, fridges, and kitchenettes appear often. Common downsides include occasional noise from thin walls or the nearby drive-through, sporadic maintenance issues, and inconsistent Wi-Fi and breakfast that some describe as limited. Overall, expect a simple, good-value stay that works well for short stopovers.

Easy access from Highway 104, but amazingly quiet, despite being along a strip with various restaurants. The inn is set well back from the street. We were able to bring our cat for a fee. Whole building is non-smoking.

Great location. Next to lots of restaurants, cold stream distillery and farmers market. Walking distance to STFX. Liked that it was ground level with parking and chairs outside the room. Microwave, fridge and keurig. Could use some updating inside the room. Bathrooms were tiny. Very clean. Would stay again for the convenience and great price.

This place seemed dirty from the first minute we drove in the parking lot. Rat traps all around the building. The walls were filthy dirty, the floors were rotten, and they bedspreads had holes all over. We did not feel safe in this inn. The office closed at 8:00 with no one around again until 8:00 in the morning.

The Homeward Inn was a great place to stay for the night. I wasn't particularly fond of the neighbors partying til about 3am (the walls are pretty thin), but the entirety of our stay was really lovely. The staff was super friendly and made sure we were comfortable and content. The cleaners were exceptionally pleasant and very helpful, as well. I look forward to staying again in the future.

We enjoyed our stay. The room was clean. The bed was comfortable and there was lots of hot water for a shower and it had lots of pressure. We would stay here again. We would have appreciated some coffee mate for the coffee and there were no tea bags which most places include.
