Guest Reviews
- Hollie (10/5): - Very nice, excellent all around
- alex (8/5): - Room was clean and tidy. The chicken and soup were tasty. There's only one staff that handles everything and she is cheerful and hospitable. Wifi signal however is weak inside the room.
- Cecilian (10/5): - Super cute hotel, everything was great! Run by a very nice family. Would definitely stay here again if we're in the area!
- Fred (10/5): Very nice accommodation - A very comfortable and safe place to stay.

- Carolyn (10/5): - Enjoyed our night staying in the converted school. The staff/owners were very friendly and helpful. Would stay there again if we’re out this way.
- Hannah (8/5): - Location was central to tourist attractions that we were interested in visiting.
- Kit Mui Valencia (6/5): - Cleaning and water quality could be better
- Guy (10/5): - The owner is very helpful, she is like the best tourist advisor.
- Tracy (8/5): - Friendly staff
- Jim (10/5): - Like the fact that it’s family run.
- Michael (10/5): - Very unique, in an old school that they have renovated. We stayed in the grade 2 classroom that had 2 double bunk beds, perfect for a large family. The beds were custom made, new, had comfortable mattresses. The bathroom was new, clean and a good size. We arrived late and didn’t get a chance to check out the games area with the pool tables or the bar or restaurant. Continental breakfast in the morning was good. All in all, a good value for the price we paid.
- Earl (10/5): trip - was very clean n great location-host was very friendly n helpfull
- Steven (8/5): - other than the (out of property's control) power outage until 9pm the first night, the rest of our 3 night stay was wonderful. Great, helpful and friendly staff - very accommodating. Neat bar/restaurant connected to motel. Great experience!

- Shirley (6/5): Frustrated - On our way to the hotel we got a message saying the owner had canceled our reservation for the 17th. We were not informed before then by hotels.com or anyone. We had no other place to go as it was booked every where close to oue destination. The owner put us up in a room that was not a rental unit. We Left some of our belongings and other items in the car and had to get ice for his insulin as there was no fridge in the room. We got charged full price. Next day we had a room rented at the same hotel and everything was good. Nice people but it was not a good experience for either my husband or myself. Next time I will book directly with the hotel.
- Marie (10/5): - This is a renovated school and they have done a great job! Just a thought, but if you are staying here, would be nice to offer guests a little discount if they eat here too.
- Andrew (10/5): - It is a converted schoolhouse so it has a cool layout and character. The rooms were nice and the location was a convenient spot for those catching an early ferry the next morning. The staff was great and gave us an information sheet of attractions in the area which was very helpful.

- Meghan (10/5): - They were setting up for their halloween party but came out, did the check in. Showed me around the whole area and what their plans were. Brought me right to the room. Let us use their enterance as it was closer to our room than the main. We headed down to the bar and had a chat and explored the old school. Was very well done! Had a light breakfast in the morning as we were getting the boat.

- Heather (10/5): - Genevieve Bay Inn is a former school which has been converted to a B&B and pub. The owners are so hospitable and friendly. The food was excellent. The rooms are spotless and well-cared for. I loved the decorating and special features. I also appreciated the travel tips given and the time taken to escort us through the facility explaining everything. As first time visitors to the area we enjoyed a wonderful stay!

(Although I missed the eggs, bacon etc.) Lovely dining room. Bright and welcoming.

- cecil (6/5): Clean and close to the ferry - The hotel is a renovated elementary school. It is clean and comfortable but you can hear noise. Good for a sound sleeper. It is close to the Labrador ferry which is my choice for staying. Breakfast is included. Overall fine for what is needed in travel.
