We were happy with our stay at Bowmont Motel. The location was fantastic, first and foremost. Very close to the beach, amusement park, channel cruise start point, and so on. The rooms were comfortable with a/c and nice memory foam mattresses. Great amenities like the bbq area, pool and patio. The place was packed with families who all seemed to be really enjoying the space, a great family atmosphere. A few things could have been improved. Staff were friendly and helpful, but only available until 6pm onsite unless it’s an emergency. Many facilities were not functioning or were only partially functioning: hot tub and sauna were not working, only 1/3 fire pits was working and even that one was intermittently turning off. A few things needed attention in our room as well. Hopefully these are addressed soon so others may enjoy the full experience this summer. We will consider returning in the future, hopefully the maintenance is improved.
The location is perfect. Staff was great. The room was not great. The mattress was old, soft, not comfortable and smelled weird. Seemed like the maintenance is not something important. Ceiling lamp missing, bathroom smelled rotten, floor dirty, old and broken. The toilet was leaking and every 20 min or so I could here the water running to refill the tank. The worst of all is that one night I was awake by some noise in the kitchenette. Sure enough there are mice behind the fridge. They have access inside the cupboard where pots and pans are. Pooping around! The staff is aware of that problem as a mouse trap was installed on top of the fridge. I don’t recommend this place. Good thing I have some international travel experience as most Canadian would not have tolerated this room for 4 nights...Good luck!
