The room was beautiful and we loved the view from our balcony. The only thing missing is a restaurant, at least for breakfast.

The Marmalade Motel is in a gorgeous location with rooms looking across the bay and a lovely deck per room to enjoy the views from outside. The room has all you could need, with fridge, coffee machine, tea bags, and is well sized. The bed is nice though quite squeaky. For exploring the east coast of Nova Scotia it's a great spot. Would stay here again.

Convenient, clean and beautiful location!

Check in was seamless! Our room was beautifully decorated, spotless & comfortable!! We enjoyed sitting outside and walking the property to the water. We enjoyed dinner at a nearby restaurant and the locals were friendly and spoke well of the hotel owners. We never met them, but commend them on a beautifully ran business. We’d definitely stay again whenever in the area!

All motels should be like this!

This motel was fantastic. We were only there for 1 night and didn't arrive until the evening, but it was a great place to rest our head. It felt modern, quirky and clean, the amenities were great. Loved the addition of a balcony with fabulous views of the water, as well as the cute swing. The bathroom was really lovely, and the beds comfy. Very quick response to my message when we arrived. Overall a great stay and would 100% recommend.

Efficient check-in with email of lock combo. Room and bed were good, but the "beach" was disappointing, and neighbors were too loud to enjoy sitting on our porch. No food within walking distance or breakfast available. However, the cleaning staff were friendly and helpful.

The Marmalade Motel was the last stop, and the best stop, in my 7-day drive from Victoria, BC to Sheet Harbour, NS. The rooms are very clean and eloquently decorated, the waterfront views and sunset are spectacular, and the bed is cozy and warm. The best rest I have had in a week. Highly recommended!

Very clean, mattresses very comfortable. The hot tub was a special treat. (Suggestion -- I needed an extra blanket and didn't realize the bench opened up for storage -- and blankets! A label would help.)

Fun place!

What a cute old motel with a new modern flair. VERY clean. (and I am very picky!!!!) The view was gorgeous! Nice big windows in the front and back of the room. The bed was very comfortable and the sheets were very soft. We only had one wash cloth and one makeup wash cloth in the room but they brought more to us. The bathroom door was quite squeaky and we brought that to the attention of housekeeping when we left. I'm guessing this will be addressed soon. The place looked like they have worked really hard to make this a nice place!! Nothing that would make me want to leave anything less than a five-star review. We stayed in the king room for one night.

Loved the amusing theme to the room. The view was lovely and I enjoyed having an early morning walk straight out the back of the grounds. Howver, the lack of room facilities was a shock. For such an isolated location away from restaurants and shops, I would have expected a toaster, a microwave and some cutlery and crockery to be standard.
