Reasonable 1 night stopover
We stayed 1 night for a break when driving. Good value, and is an ex residential property and the room is like an ensuite in a typical home rather than a motel. Good for a couple. Nice balcony but it was raining so we couldn't take advantage.

Good location for walk to town and getting to ferry, reasonable price, amazing people willing to go above and beyond to help us. South facing room so quite hot. Other rooms had ac so be sure to ask for it.

I did not get the Inn that I booked.
They put me in the motel as they told me the Inn I booked was full. I don't believe this to be true. There were no vehicles in the guest parking lot of the Inn. The motel was old and had not been renovated in a long time if at all since it was built. Lights on the wall did not work as there were no bulbs in them. The beds were hard and definitely not new. Would not recommend this location.

Not what I thought....
I was not overly impressed with this particular place. First of all it was search under B&Bs but breakfast was not included. And although it was ok, I didn't feel it was worth the money. A bit dingy. The good thing was that we had our own washroom, but I would have sacrificed and shared a washroom for an updated room. There was no kitchen at all. No one really on site not even the office. I was a bit disappointed.

Cockroaches in our bed
We had cockroaches in our bed... the owners have way too many hotels, thus why they were never present.

We were at the motel. Very dated mattress bad.
The staff was very nice. We did not stay at the inn but the motel property nearby. The bed and furniture were very worn and there were bugs.

No amenities, like a coffee maker!
Initially rented at the Inn but switched to the motel. No great but a place to stay for the night! Better than the car.

Not as we expected - we won't be back.
The check in "process" left something to be desired. We had no notification but there was no one at the site. We had to check in at another Dolan property down the road.
The bathroom was very spacious with a large jetted tub but the room did not have access to the river view balcony as we expected based on the "rooms available" advertised in the Hotels.com ad. (Although the ad also mentioned a stand up shower only)
The sink in the bathroom was cracked but was "patched" but still wasn't assuring.
The lock on our room door was very sketchy and required us to frig around to get it to work.
We were a little surprised at how far the walk was to downtown. It is still walkable but is closer to 15-20 minutes.

Cramped room with noisy traffic.
Arrive only to read I have to go down the street to check in and get a key. Say's coffee tea provided, no coffee in the coffee can. No AC therefore leave the window open to street traffic noise. Comfortable bed. No desk, only a TV table which works I guess. But so cramped for space.

Well maintained inn
A comfortable quiet room and a helpful host. Maureen was able to direct us to local restaurants for dinner and breakfast the next day. Although a coffee maker wasn't available in the room, it was conveniently available in a nook just outside the room.

There are several Dolans in Pictou. We stopped at one and there was a sign there to call a number to check in. That person sent us up thd street to another place. The description on Hotels.com was misleading. She gave us a room without air conditioning, but was nice enough to 'upgrade' our room to one with AC. When I checked out the room, I mentioned that I thought we were supposed to have a kitchen and she upgraded us to a room with a microwave. I am pretty sure we were the only people in that big house which was rather weird. The lobby was a mess with stuff every where. The room itself was not terrible, thanks to the 'upgrade'. It would have been terribly uncomfortable without the AC which sounded like it was on its last legs. Hopefully their other properties are nicer. I would not go back to this one.

It was a little run down but perfectly fine. We stayed in the motel which is not what we originally booked but was much easier and better for our young family. Staff was great
