Star ratings are intended to indicate the general level of features, amenities, and services to expect. This property is classified according to Giata.
Places to stay are graded on a 0-100 scale. The higher the grade, the easier it is for travellers to find restaurants and things to do within walking distance.
The breakfast seating area was small 3 tables in total. Upon going down for a coffee all the food was annihilated unless you were up to plain white toast. The server was nowhere to be found. Upon asking the front desk the answer we received was "I'm not sure where she is". Consequently we went to McDonald's as we had to get on the road. FAIL!!!!

This place was a gem in the middle of nowhere. I enjoyed my stay here and will definitely book this place again. It was clean and mostly quiet except for some noisy baseball kids that should have been watched by their parents not the hotel staff. The front desk folks were pleasant and there was a decent breakfast in the mornings. The bed was super comfy as were the pillows. It was easy in and out of the patio doors for the dogs too! And parking in front of your room with an assigned spot which was perfect! I have no complaints at all and this was a welcome surprise these days. Thank you Comfort Inn and Canada for doing it right :)

We stayed 3 nights on the second floor, with a view of the entrance, parking lot and the rental car. Clean room with 2 double beds; roomy bathroom and very clean sheets (& good pillows). Amherst is central for our travel to NB and NS. Near restaurants and necessary drugstores and LCBO.

My wife and I had the misfortune of being in the Maritimes just as Hurricane Fiona struck the area. Our trip was to include a 3 day stay on Prince Edward Island, but Mother Nature changed our plans and we had to stay 4 nights in Amherst. We have nothing but good to say about the resort, but the main reason for this review is about the fantastic staff. Fiona took out most of the power in the city of Amherst. So, no breakfast, no coffee, only some fruit, pastries and juice we had picked up previously. Going down to the reception area, and speaking with Glenda, she explained that other than some cold items, there was nothing available in the breakfast nook. I went back to our room and explained the issues with my wife and we tried to figure what we were to do. There was a knock on the door and there stood Glenda with two cups of coffee. Her daughter still had power and brought coffee down for her mom, so Glenda shared it with us. For the 4 days we stayed there, the staff, Glenda, the General Manager and all the staff made us feel like family. They did everything they could to make us feel at home. Thanks to all of the Staff from the two of us.

I stayed here for about a week in October and had 2 joined rooms on the bottom floor as I have a dog and 3 children. The rooms were very clean, beds really comfortable, nice deep bath tubs with consistent very hot water, nice size fridges, tons of storage space for clothes etc, wifi was awesome- better than home, patio doors exiting to the parking lot with my vehicle right outside, nice grass area for my dog that also has a picnic table and trees, and everything I needed in town was a close walk or short drive away. I would definitely stay here again. The best part was the staff, every single one I encountered was extremely welcoming, accommodating and genuinely kind! They provided exceptional service to me, my children and dog. I’ve stayed at a lot of hotels, and never had service like this! Also, very COVID aware, I appreciated that!

Spent a night here and everything was just fine. The person at the check in was very friendly and welcoming. The room was clean and comfortable. The breakfast in the morning was more than I expected for this type of hotel. Only issue I had was the motion sensor bathroom light kept coming on in the night....simple solution was to just close the bathroom door so it didn't keep waking me up.

The spacious room was comfortable, providing everything I needed for a good night's sleep. The grab and go breakfast was surprisingly delicious! This hotel is conveniently situated near the Trans-Canada Highway, as well as restaurants and other amenities. The next morning, I enjoyed a hike at the nearby Amherst Point Migratory Bird Sanctuary before setting out to conclude my road trip.

I had a nice room on the second floor, clean, nice bed, with adequate WiFi. The staff was friendly and professional. I had a nice grab and go breakfast, My only concern was for the breakfast attendant, as there was ZERO air conditioning in the buffet area, with a convection oven preparing the food. The young lady was clearly miserable, though polite and helpful to us guests.

I called first to ensure they would have the hockey game on their tv's, they told me yes. They did not. I told the person on check in that I was super tired and wanted a quiet room. The moron put my by the back door, which opened and slammed shut all through the night. The rooms are filthy. I won't make this mistake again. And my 2 million subs on youtube are going to hear about this also.
