⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ St. Ann’s Motel Review Great location with amazing views for the price! Our room was comfortable and perfect for our stay. Host Vince was fantastic—very friendly, helpful and full of great information about the area. The property is a little dated from the outside, and a new sign would definitely give it a fresher look. Also, bring bug spray if you're staying here! The lobster restaurant right next door was excellent, which was an added bonus. 🦞 Overall, a great value, beautiful location and a wonderful host. We’d happily stay again!

6/10 Good

Vince was so helpful and friendly. Room was small although well equipped. No air conditioning but with windows open together with a very powerful and large fan we found in the closet did the trick. Fantastic location and view.
