My main beef with this motel was the fact that they charged us a $200.00 deposit to stay one night. We did get it back in the morning when we left but felt very embarrassed by the fact that they had to abe someone check the room before giving us back our deposit. We have stayed at many motels and... More

I stayed here for a week while working in the area, and I was placed in the older section of the hotel. The single-occupancy rooms are a bit worn, as expected, but I was given lower rates because of this. Everything is kept clean despite its age and most importantly the staff is always friendly, gracious and helpful. I've had... More

The best thing about the inn is probably the location since its right off of the highway. I was driving to Halifax at the time and the weather took a drastic turn for the worse - too foggy, dark and raining too hard to see properly and drive safely on the highway so had to stop. Obviously it's an inn... More

We were just passing through Amherst on our way back to the states and it was late like 2am and just wanted someplace cheap with breakfast to stay the night. This wasn't our first choice but was the first one to have any vacancies. The night clerk was very nice and helpful and said he was giving us the late... More

Stayed here 2 nights in October 2010 for a wedding, it was good value, a bit dated but didnt matter at all! Rooms comfy, pool was good, service at breakfast was a little slow but it was very busy. If I pass by again I'd stay here again for sure. More

When booking we were warned that they were quite full, so only had their older, tired, budget rooms available for $65 including breakfast, so we weren't sure what to expect. We were pleasantly surprised - the room was clean, and a bit dated (pink tub, older TV) but suited us fine. I couldn't believe it included breakfast for that price.... More

When we first arrived, I thought it was big for an Inn, the lobby was ok. .......But on checking into our room immediately another hotel came to mind "Bxxx Wxxxxx". I am wondering if this location was once a "BW". The lay out of our room was just like that of a BW. Any how in respect to our room....the... More

This motel is a little run down but the room was clean, beds ok, bathroom had been redone, wireless internet, and a pool. Decent sit down continental breakfast. Wait staff were trying very hard to be friendly and helpful. More

We were traveling on our way through to Maine and ended up in Amhearst at the end of the day. We asked at the gas station about a hotel and she pointed to the Wandlyn but said she thought it was expensive. We thought by the looks of it that it probably was but we decided to check it out.... More

The scents of atomized air freshener and carpet deodorizer was horrifying. My eyeballs were burning red after a two-day conference. I could not wait to leave. When I asked the front desk staff not to use scented products in the room, she said "oh, we don't use scented products" when I could clearly see the perfumed atomizers spaced at regular... More
