St Lawrence Motel

My only criticism was the pool hours started too late and ended too early.

Kitchen, pool, large property

Wonderful very comfortable feeling. Great pool. Great firepit. Very quiet.

What an absolutely lovely place to stay on our East Coast Road Trip. Clean, quiet, safe for little kids to run around, salt water pool, swing sets, personal BBQ, picnic table, ... 7A/B accomodated our 9 person family. Couldn't have asked for a better PEI accommodation. Thank you to the polite and gracious owners.

Super friendly staff. This stay is close to North Rustico Beach and very close to all the fun stuff in Cavendish. The BBQ comes in handy as there is a grocery store near by. I recommend this motel for Northshore travelers.

We enjoyed our stay at the St Lawrence Motel, despite some disappointments. The location is within the national park and a very short drive from several attractive beaches and the town of North Rustico, which has a well-stocked grocery store and hardware store in addition to restaurants, book and souvenir shops, and a theatre. While we appreciated the convenience of the location and the exceptional attentiveness of the staff, the images shown on the booking site depict a renovated spacious kitchen that differs substantially from the suite we received. The room’s comfort would be much increased by providing the standard amenities of a simple coffee machine and supplies and a an iron and ironing board. The heated pool is a strong asset, although there are only two lounge chairs and two tables, which were already occupied by parents supervising their children each time we visited the pool during our two night stay.

The rooms were spacious with a kitchenette. Lots of room for a family of 5. Nice location with swings and slides with a large green area for kids to play. Only down side was the pool was out of order.

We were SO pleased, overall, with our stay! Peter and his staff worked very, very hard to make sure their guests were comfortable, and had what they needed. It is an old-fashioned motor court style environment, but the beds were fantastic (and as someone with a bad back, I truly appreciated it!!), impeccably clean, and having the convenience of the kitchenette helped with dining expenses. They are working very hard on upgrading the property after purchase in 2022. Hurricane Fiona damaged the pool, unfortunately, but we were kindly offered other compensation to make up for it, and it ended up being fixed in the afternoon of our last day there. Not having the pool right there throughout our stay and perhaps hoping for more comfortable easy chairs in the sitting area were the ONLY negatives (also, the only reason I gave it only 4 stars... had we known the pool wasn't working I'd have chosen another location, to be honest as I had a 16-year-old in the party). Otherwise, this was everything it advertised itself to be. We were VERY pleased and will definitely go back if we visit PEI again. Well done, St. Lawrence!

The motel is very clean, beds are comfortable and the small kitchen was great. It was almost like being in a cottage. Furniture was modern and in great shape. I loved the antique mugs! They reminded me of my grandparents. Swing sets and a beautiful clean pool! I will be booking again!

Motel was good featuring spacious suites. The bedrooms included extra blankets/pillows. The kitchen was well equipped with a stove, fridge, microwave and many plates, pans and utensils. Each suite also included a BBQ. There was a pool, playset and soccer net on the property for kids to play. The property is also a 5 minute walk from the beach. The only issue was at night I could hear field mice running under the floor boards.

This was a 2 bedroom unit that was supposed to have an additional sofa bed. That sofa bed was in the kitchen, and when it was opened it blocked the only exit from the unit. We chose not to use it at all. It was very old and the mattress was very thin. Overall, the unit was very nice and appeared to have been recently remodeled...which made us wonder why we were killing 15-20 roaches each day. We did let the gentleman at the front desk know. He told us that the bugs 'did not bite', and did nothing. We also had issues with several wall outlets not working. If the A/C was on, and too many lights were on, the lights would start doing a strobe flickering. We kept the lights to a minimum because we did not want an electrical fire. The kitchen was well equipped with a new stove, but we chose not to do any cooking there because of the roaches. The location of the motel was convenient, and a nice walking path to the beach was just across the street. But...I would never stay here again due to the roach problem they obviously have. We stayed for 3 nights and killed roaches every day.

It was a nice place with a pool, soccer goal, swings, it was nice for kids. Unfortunately, the pool hours are from 11h30 to 7h30. No one can use it, it is not convenient at all. They were also a lot of earwigs in the motel, but since it is humid outside, they try to get in dry places, not really the motels fault.

Stayed here for two nights. The rooms are well laid out, super clean and have everything you need to use the little kitchenette. Beautiful grounds well kept. Super quiet place. Will return

Everything looked like it had been recently updated, renovated, and very clean.

My family has been coming here for over 60 years. Many upgrades over the years. The pool and great new mattresses are top in my eyes. Not fancy but a clean and friendly place to spend a few weeks. Central for all the Island land marks. 2.5 hours or less to any lighthouse.

Nothing fancy but very clean. I’d definitely stay there again.

There was too many bugs. All night killing bugs and even while asleep they pitched on me. Big, large bugs. They said they sprayed late June we visited in mid July they were out of control. Next door neighbours had same issue.

Constant bugs in the room

Great location and lots of space for the 5 of us to stay. Full size fridge was great and everything was very clean!!

The staff were very friendly and helpful but the place itself was outdated and needs work done to it. It looked overall clean except the floors were dirty and it has a musty smell before opening windows. It was okay for a quick place to stay for a couple of nights if you’re not spending much time at your motel. It’s not the most comfortable place to be but it works for a place to lay your head at night.

I loved how the rooms “were cottage like” with a living room and separate bedroom and kitchen.

The hotel was adequate at best, everything we needed was included. I would have liked extra towels provided on a daily basis. The internet was sketchy at times, not the best. But it worked.

Great location, good sized living, kitchen, grill, and full fridge. Good access to many locations including Cavendish, Summerside, Charlottetown and beaches along the north shore. Two coffee shops within 5 minutes. Only complaint is that the sound proofing between rooms is just fair, thankfully our neighbors were not up late.

Prêt de plusieurs plages à voir en voiture. Couverture Wi-Fi non disponible la plupart du temps. Bien comme place mais sans plus. Bbq pour chacun et très grand terrain pour jouer.

Very much rundown compared to online photos. Wifi barely worked unless the tv was on and even then it wasn’t great. Outlets didn’t have enough power to charge my phone (which I rely on for my blood sugar monitor and insulin pump) Light switch only worked in one room to turn on the lamp. Couch was very uncomfortable and many decades old. Bedding was probably original to the motel as is the kitchen and everything inside had an odour when you opened the cabinet door. No water pressure in the AM when everyone was using it. We indicated on the booking we were bringing children and we were given a room with a shower. The door wouldn’t lock so we had to have them come fix the door jam the first night. The only enjoyable part of the stay was the pool

The room we stayed in was nothing like the pictures. Room 4 was where we stayed and it was super small. Even using the bathroom was terrible because your knees were right up against the shower stall. The bedroom just fit the bed. It was clean and fairly quiet but disappointed in the size of the room

Room was exactly like the pictures: very comfy even though thge decor is a bit dated. Bathroom was recently renovated, and the whole place had no smell (sometimes older motels have a humid/musty smell, and it wasn’t the case here!). Staff was friendly and check in/out was quick. We didn’t use the pool but saw many families and children enjoyed it. There’s a clothesline around the back that gets wind and sun almost all day to hang wet bathing suits and beach towels.

Very nice front desk staff. Very small rooms.

Not a bad place to stay, bathroom was nicely renovated, each unit had its own barbecue, the place was clean and it’s conveniently close to Cavendish and beaches. The air conditioning unit was in the main area and cooled that space okay, but the bedroom (which is separate) was too hot to get a comfortable sleep. Also, our unit had a pullout sofa bed that our daughter slept on and the mattress was absolutely terrible and not comfortable. So unfortunately, for our entire stay, nobody had a good nights sleep.

Comfy bed and nice shower - clearly recently updated. Tight bedroom quarters as room designed for double bed - but still glad it was a queen. Well equipped kitchen, nice porch with bbq. Whole property looks to be about 50% upgraded. Enjoyable motel experience.

Manager was amazing, drove us to the festival for free and was super nice. Rooms are very clean and well maintained!

The staff is incredible!

Peter is fantastic, we can’t wait to stay here again.

Excellent location for exploring the area. We stayed in a two-bedroom unit. Beds were very comfortable, and there was enough space in the common areas for three adults. The manager was very accommodating.

Very much enjoyed our stay. Staff could not have been more accommodating or hard working. They made the stay very enjoyable for us. The front porch was a highlight- a great place to drink coffee in the morning and is ten to the birds. Beach in easy walking distance. Would stay again.

The staff was very nice. We had a wasp nest in our AC unit, and I got stung in the middle of the night. The staff tried their best to find a solution to help, but they wouldn't change my room, even though the vacancy sign was up. The room and facilities was fine, although the pull out sofa was absolutely disgusting - it must have been 30+ years old, with holes and horrid stuff inside the mattress. Again, the staff was very kind and pleasant. The pool was great for the kids!

Peter at reception was cer kind and firiendly

Thanks Peter for an amazing stay!

The service was completely non existent. They never answered emails. Never told us where the garbage was located. Never refilled garbage bags. never cleaned our room during our 1 week stay. Never explained where/how to get clean towels. Never explained how to enter the park. The pool is NOT heated, not even remotely. My pool at home isn't heated and is significantly warmer despite being in the shade and at the same longitude. That said, very clean property upon arrival and great location. The walk to the beach is a bit far, especially in the heat.

Great place, amazing hosts

Very good location, quiet and peaceful. There is a beautiful beach in walking distance and a grocery store in five minutes driving.

Property was conveniently located in a National Park and only 10 minutes from Cavendish

We stayed here for 3 nights, on our first trip to PEI. The motel is situated inside a national park, and the views of the ocean, when driving along the road toward Cavendish were spectacular, a great place to watch the sunset or visit a red-sand beach. The motel is about 8km from Cavendish, where there are a number of things to do. We enjoyed Cavendish Boardwalk, checking out the beach, and Anne of Green Gables. The motel itself was quiet, and it was cottage-like once inside, with a nicely updated bathroom, and window air-conditioner. Each unit had it's own dedicated barbecue outside. There was also a nice saltwater, heated pool. There were swings and a small slide for kids, but it would be nice for this to be expanded to a larger play structure so the kids could spend more time playing. Check-in was quick and the owners were helpful in answering questions as needed. The negatives were that there were bugs when we arrived, a couple of cockroaches, earwigs and so on. I suppose this is to be expected when staying in what is basically a cottage. Perhaps it can be improved by sealing up the units to prevent access points. The only other negative was that the beds could be improved, as they were not comfortable. Overall, I think the motel provided good value given the location was outstanding, especially if you are interested in amazing scenery and access to Cavendish. If the 2 negatives were addressed, I would not hesitate to recommend this for a stay in PEI.

Walkable to the beach and not far from the harbor.

Motel is located on Gulf shore parkway that we love to drive and see all the different beaches.

Super friendly staff. This stay is close to North Rustico Beach and very close to all the fun stuff in Cavendish. The BBQ comes in handy as there is a grocery store near by. I recommend this motel for Northshore travelers.

Great staff conveniently located. Beautiful beaches. I am coming back next year!

Beautiful location along the parkway- excellent walking and running along the coast in an isolated setting but with restaurants and destinations only about 10mins drive away.

Very good location

My family had a great experience spending our time on Prince Edward Island at the St. Lawrence Motel. There are five in our family and we stayed in a suite with two bedrooms and a couch in the living room. The bathroom looked like it had been recently remodeled. There was a little kitchen that was even equipped with some dishes and cookware. The staff was very friendly. We stayed at several different hotels & motels on our trip to Canada and this one was our favorite. If we ever go back to PEI, I hope we can stay here. The location is also convenient to the Anne of Green Gables house, as well as a small water park and an amusement park. It's also right near the North Rustico Beach where you can see a pretty cliff. Definitely go to the Olde Village Bakery nearby if you stay here.

Great spot in a great location. Has kitchen and everything provided such as plates, cutlery, pots pans etc.

Room was ok. Not satisfied with service at their restaurant

Super friendly staff. This stay is close to North Rustico Beach and very close to all the fun stuff in Cavendish. The BBQ comes in handy as there is a grocery store near by. I recommend this motel for Northshore travelers.

Perfect for families. Near the beach. Great outdoor area for children to have fun. Great outdoor pool. It was nice to have a kitchen for breakfast and late suppers.

You never know just from pictures what you will get, we were pleasantly surprised. we were 2 adults and 3 teenagers. Had 3 bedrooms 2 bathrooms and living space with kitchen. Place was super clean, beds were comfy. Area is beautiful and so quiet, wish we stayed longer. The motel is in a national park, very close to the beach. Pool was nice to dip in after a long day of exploring the island. For the price and location this is a steal! Can’t wait to come back!

The location of this motel was amazing. It was very dated but clean. The beds were comfortable. It has a kitchen but lacked good utensils. For example, not enough forks to feed everyone. Also had no paper towels. Owners were friendly and took care of our requests.

We loved having a “home base” on our vacation! Everything we needed to make our own meals was provided in the little kitchen and the market was just a hop skip and jump away to purchase grocery supplies. The beds were very comfortable with good quality mattresses and the roomy glass shower was a pleasant way to clean up for the day. The gem of the stay was the pool… it was beautiful, clean and heated to the perfect temperature (cool enough to feel refreshing but warm enough to have no trouble getting in)! Someone was always in the office to provide clean towels whenever the need arose. I wish I had brought my HDMI setup as we preferred watching Netflix or TiVo on the iPad but cable was provided as an option. Overall we had a really wonderful stay at the St Lawrence Motel!

We were SO pleased, overall, with our stay! Peter and his staff worked very, very hard to make sure their guests were comfortable, and had what they needed. It is an old-fashioned motor court style environment, but the beds were fantastic (and as someone with a bad back, I truly appreciated it!!), impeccably clean, and having the convenience of the kitchenette helped with dining expenses.

Otherwise, this was everything it advertised itself to be. We were VERY pleased and will definitely go back if we visit PEI again. Well done, St. Lawrence!

We travelled with 2 small children. We loved that they had a separate room. The kids enjoyed the playgrounds and the pool. Property is within walking distance to a beautiful beach. The motel room has a cottage feel with a full kitchen so we could make breakfast and lunch. There is a bbq available for all the units with a nice porch to enjoy a coffee.The motel is also less than a 5 minute drive to some delicious restaurants. Peter, at the front desk was very nice and gave lots of recommendations for the area. We will definitely be coming back. Such a beautiful area.
