NovaStar Motel On The Lake

Where do i start. Electrical wires poking through the walls, overloaded plugs. Broken window, holes in the walls, paint peeling on the ceiling and bathroom door. No fan in the bathroom. Flooring was separated, tripping hazard. Didnt even plow the parking lot after 6 inches of snow, plus it was on a steep hill. Never saw anyone for checkin or checkout. Flat sheet thrown over the mattress, no fitted sheet. DO NOT STAY THERE! PLUS CHARGED 120 DOLLARS PER NIGHT! No refund offered.

The room was very clean and comfortable...staff were excellent..amble parking space left early so didnt have breakfast..very happy everything

The owner was very friendly. The breakfast was very simple but adequate. No ac in the room but the fan helped. Bbq on the property came in very handy to make our supper. The room we stayed in was dated but everything worked. The yellow tub was very retro. Lots of towels, wash clothes, soap and shampoo

Pictures showed 2nd floor 2 Bdrm with nice furniture in main room but not like pics at all. View was great outside but Couch needs updating & no table & chairs at window? Pictures not accurate. Also to get to 2nd floor the back path is a cement path & steps very cracked, which is unsafe. The back path lighting is very poor. The gazebo is nice outlook spot lighting for smokers so non smokers can’t enjoy Staff was very friendly & helpful . Close to ferry & breakfast was sufficient to get a person started. The inaccurate depiction online is very Misleading especially for 2 Bdrm and ought to be corrected

Good and basic motel with friendly staff. Easy parking, clean rooms, self-serve breakfast with plenty of options, and a 3-minute drive to the regional hospital. The rail trail runs right behind it, making it a very pleasant 12-minute walk to the nearest restaurant.

This is an older facility but it was comfortable and great for our family. We all enjoyed the walking trail behind the motel (trans canada trail, goes for miles and miles, and always dear on the trail) and the breakfast. The staff were very friendly and helpful.

Parking was easy, breakfast was delicious.

No A/C, no coffee machine, no ice, no Kleenex, no bathroom fan. But it was very clean and very quiet

I checked in online and felt ambushed when I arrived. Under total reconstruction. No breakfast, coffee or even ice. Parking lot is a mess. Wish I had known.

Très bon,avec vue...table picnic,bbq....

Bed and towels were clean, floor was not, as i spilt the freezer tray(it was full of water) so i cleaned it up and the towel was so dirty. They have a good breakfast

Before I give my review, I believe the hotel was undergoing a complete renovation room-by-room. Our room had not been renovated yet so I don’t think it should’ve been rented out. What we noticed for the two nights that we stayed there was a shabby & dusty room. I don’t mind shabby and old, but I don’t appreciate it being unclean. The bathtub and the toilet were dirty. The shower curtain was disgusting. My husband and I did not take showers for the two nights that we stayed there. The vanity/sink in the bathroom appeared to be clean. There were plenty of towels. The floors were dusty and damaged. The sheets on the beds were rumpled and old and the bedspreads were stained. There were no hooks in the bathroom. There was no closet. The kitchen was not fully equipped: there were no glasses nor dishcloths/towels. There were a few dishes and eating utensils and only one dull knife. No veggie peeler; no bottle openers. The price of the room was not high, but you weren’t getting much for your money. I would wait until they did a complete renovation before ever renting a room from this motel again. The staff seemed to be friendly, although we didn’t spend a lot of time speaking to the staff.

Dirty stove, oven Bathroom, taps dirty. Blinds filthy! Taps for showers just go around and around. Bathroom floor heats rusted. For the amount wr paid, terrible. Mgr. Can gardly speak english. Qiet and said will tell owner. I adked for a discount. Beds comfortable.

We were booked to stay at the NovaStar hotel for five nights and wanted a room with easy access for big bags and some food prep facilities. We arrived very late in the night after driving from the city and found the room to have cobwebs, furniture covered in dust, the bathtub was leaking, moldy and covered in hair, plus there was a tear in the window covering and without blinds or curtains it was possible to see directly into the bathroom from the walkway. There was a strong odor of cologne or cleaning supplies, the lights flickered and while blackout curtains were in one window the other had just a thin blind so the lights from the parking lot and exterior were very bright inside. My daughter and felt both unsafe and unclean in the room but the staff available was not able to do anything with the reservation. The bed appeared clean and due to the late hour we stayed the night. I awoke the next morning with my eyes almost sealed shut due to allergies and the amount of dust. (Not seasonal allergies as this did not occur once we moved locations) we left at 6:30 in the morning and again staff on site told me that they could not change the reservation. I called the number provided and spoke with multiple people advising of the unacceptable state of the room and requested the remainder of the reservation to be cancelled and refunded (since I had paid for the entire visit directly through the hotel). After much back and forth the staff advised me that they would not offer

The people at check in were nice but the room was dirty and cabinets falling apart. The couch had a very old cover on it, the windows were sealed shut and very dirty. We decided to leave and stay somewhere else.

Wunderschöner seeblick, zimmer war sehr sauber und ruhig, das bett bequem und das personal sehr freundlich

spiders in our room, we had the kitchenette and the glass ware was dirty, bathtub filthy we didn’t shower. we left as soon as we woke up.

The service wasn’t terrible but wasn’t great. Talked to me through the ring camera, when I checked in and out.. wasn’t worth $150 for one night. Very outdated. Not the cleanest. Mold in the bathroom, it’ll do if you’re in a pinch. Likely wouldn’t stay again.

Got there just as office was closing, helpful to get us settled. Room was tiny. Bathroom was semi renovated; nice floors, tub was a 1970 original olive green, and there was black mold around the tub. The bed was small with little blankets and two smaller pillows. There was a fan and light attached to the switch and furniture was mismatched. The office was not open in the am and I tried to contact front desk to leave key but there was no answer.

Our kitchenette room was very spacious and we looked out on to the beautiful lake. We had table and chairs on the deck which was nice to sit at and have a glass of wine before going to dinner. There was no ac and the room became very hot during the day. Only 2 tiny windows were avaible to open and only one would open. The screen had a fist sized hole in it. There was a very old style box fan which did not deal with the heat in the room.It was a 50's style room which they had attempted to update. There were only 2 lamps in the room which provided inadequate light. I had to dust the room since it had not been dusted. Our room was never vacuumed or the bathroom cleaned during our 6 day stay. The kitchen sink didn't have a dishcloth or tea towel when we arrived. Eventually we received 2 dish cloths, no tea towel. We eventually received a towel bath mat, none the first day. There was no rubber bath mat and no grab bars for the tub. There was a new white toilet in the bathroom and the sink and tub were a weird color green( not avocado) from some distant era. Luckily there were new taps at the sink and a new shower fixture with good water pressure. All in all, we loved the location and the size of the suite but otherwise it was a bust! Definitely not worth $170 a night. Even on cool days the suite was sweltering. The old fashioned 50's style windows need replacing.

A very nice place overlooking Milo Lake. The room was a bit tight with door not being able to be opened fully due to furniture and the bed was very close to the bed. There was no a/c but they provided a fan. The staff was very friendly and helpful.

Low key no frills comfort near The Cat Ferry terminal in Yarmouth. Shows its age with a few cracked floor tiles, but the room was quiet and comfy after a long drive and ferry trip.

Close to town. Quiet. Nice size room. No A/C. Clean. Nice lake views.

The motel is dated (blue bathtub). No electrical plugin in the bathroom, only one on the night table in our room. The bed was clean and comfy. No air conditioning. Just a fan. The breakfast was a farce. The 1st morning there was bread for toast (nothing to put on the toast only a common paper cup with margerine) cereal but no bowls, no mik for cereral, I found a container that had expired two weeks earlier and still in the fridge, small stale muffins. No plates, cups from a punch bowl set, no mugs of any kind. There is an ice container, but they offer ice. The biggest problem was that they get staff to work there. There was only one lady who managed the desk, cleaned the rooms and done the breakfast. They should forget the breakfast, do some renos and charge a reasonable rate. Way to expensive for what you receive. We won't be returning.

Beautiful view from the room. Much larger than we anticipated. The room was quite warm when we entered but the lovely owner turned on the A/C for us.

Location was good with a comfortable bed. However, we didn't have wifi. They charged an $8 tax for the soap and shampoo. It's old and we had spiders inside and out.It's small; when you open the door it hits the bed and the bathroom door hits the other side of the bed.

This is often the cheapest motel to stay at so one should keep that in mind. With no AC the rooms can get hot with the sun coming through the large window and cell signals in my room at least was not good at all. The wifi was strong, and you are just on the edge of town to go pick up food or whatever.

And older motel but clean and great value in todays over priced accommodations. Could be a bit warm on a very hot day as there is in AC. A great place to lay your head when sightseeing the area.

Fantastic property. Very friendly staff. Rooms have an upgraded look to them and are very clean Will absolutely stay there again when I am in the area.

The room was very clean and comfortable...staff were excellent..amble parking space left early so didnt have breakfast..very happy everything

Quaint little Inn for our night's stay. Staff we're exceptionally friendly and eager to help.

Tried to call multiple times to confirm my arrival time. No answer. Arrived around 7 pm. There was no lights in at the offiice. I used the ring buzzer. I was told my room number and the key was in it. The room was cold. Furniture in front of all the registers. No breakfast the next morning as stated in my reservation.

Very good staff, very accommodating

This place was ok. You get what you pay for. We booked a kitchenette and it was nice but very old. Rusty heaters, fridge and oven. No AC. there was a fan and a tv and microwave. Only ONE kitchen chair which was very strange. Nothing fancy by any means but if you're looking for a cheap stay, this is just fine. Staff were very friendly! Free breakfast (toast, yogurt, apples, cereal, coffee. Nothing special but still good.)

We arrived at 2am due to delayed flights and were graciously attended to

À cinq minutes du ferry, propre et tranquille.

Close to town. Quiet. Nice size room. No A/C. Clean. Nice lake views.

View of the lake is amazing. Beautiful sunset

The property is easy access from the highway. Clean and large rooms. Owners are amazing and generous. Would stay here again 5-star!!!

It was a perfect stop on our road trip, close to Yarmouth, clean, and not too expensive.

Comfortable, clean, and quiet. A great restaurant two minutes down the road 'Honey Bees Restaurant'.

Good and basic motel with friendly staff. Easy parking, clean rooms, self-serve breakfast with plenty of options, and a 3-minute drive to the regional hospital. The rail trail runs right behind it, making it a very pleasant 12-minute walk to the nearest restaurant.

Simple access, gracious host and clean as a whistle room. There was difficulty getting tv to work, but handled by the staff quickly. (turned out to be batteries in one remote). Breakfast was simple but good. The lady in charge was a great host for our one night stay. I would stay again

Clean facility and a good variety of choices in the continental breakfast.

Says that breakfast is included bur it was not. Had to leave by 10am and go to Tims.
