Berry's Motel

The beds and pillows were wildly comfortable. We were pleasantly surprised by the size of the fridge. Bed, linens, and towels were all nice and clean and there's certainly evidence that the owner is putting work into renovating the rooms. We could see that the walls and sink/vanity area of the bathroom had been updated and they looked very nice. After we'd spent some time in the room, we noticed a few details where the room needed a bit of attention (cobwebs in a dark corner and a wall that could use a wipe down for example). The motel has very clearly communicated policies about smoking near the building and quiet hours, unfortunately, not everyone follows these things and someone was smoking near our room well after office hours. This is more a commentary really on the other guest though since the policy is clear. The office was closed when we got there but the person who checked us in was just around the corner of the building and came and checked us in. We then proceeded to lock ourselves out of our room (combo of being tired at the end of vacation and miscommunication) and the staff were very kind about coming and helping us get back in.

We stayed a night here on our way to Digby for our union AGM. My coworker booked it, and of course I travelled online to see the reviews. Before even seeing the place, I was impressed by the passion the owner showed in their replies to some questionable reviews. it was obvious they cared about their guests experiences and from check-in to check-out we were very happy. It wasn’t flashy, but it had everything you need. A full fridge, table and two chairs, microwave, tv and wifi. The rooms and bathrooms were very clean. You can tell a lot of work has been done to the rooms, especially the bathrooms. The beds were very comfortable. The sheets and towels were clean. There was a bbq on-site if you needed one and they’re right by a gas station and Starbucks. What stood out to me was it’s proximity to the highway and on a very busy road but it was SO quiet. I would recommend this place to anyone travelling in NS looking to get a good, clean nights sleep and up and out sightseeing the next day or stop along the way, like us. The resort we stayed at in Digby was supposed to be “high end”, but Berry’s provided us with so much more for so much less. I would absolutely stay here again and am sure to recommend it.
