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.

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.
