Detailed Reviews
This was absolutely the best motel I've ever stayed in and I'm from Saskatchewan
The place is very well taken care of and the owners really take pride in their motel. It's very quiet and very safe place to stay. The starlight diner is not far away and serves great food
The room even had a towel made animal on the bed which was a nice touch. My hubby and I would stay here again.

What a great, family operated motel. Rooms are drive ups, where you park your car outside your door.
Our unit was spotless, with 2 very comfortable queen beds. Came equipped with a mini fridge, microwave, coffee maker and wall mounted flat screen TV. Small table and 2 chairs and a comfy armchair.
Bathroom was large and had sink in vanity, bath tub with shower and clean, modern toilet. Linens were new and bright white. We even had towel art!
We were a little concerned when we saw a group of younger guys located in rooms beside us, but they were either very quiet or the rooms had good soundproofing. We didn't hear them at all.
Will definitely stay at Cairns Motel again on our next visit to Summerside.

Highest recommendation for this gem, one of the best family-run budget motels we have ever experienced. We stayed three nights. The room was very reasonably priced, spotless, modern and air-conditioned. There were no signs of wear and tear, which is remarkable. Perhaps there has been a recent renovation? The bed was comfortable, the lighting was good, the bathtub had two grab bars. There was even a grab bar next to the toilet, which is exceedingly uncommon for a budget motel. There was no breakfast, but there was a spotless fridge and microwave in the room as well as complimentary coffee and tea, and we had our instant oatmeal packets so no problem. The well-kept grounds are pleasant, with picnic tables and a gazebo. All the rooms are ground level so there are no stairs to deal with. The man who checked us in gave us some good tips about the town. The AC issue was handled swiftly and graciously. It looks like there is no drop box for the room key, so checkout probably needs to be done face-to-face. The owners also have a property directly across the street with the same types of rooms and rates.

We were pleasantly surprised by this lovely motel. The owners are a great couple who work at making sure that their guests are comfortable. They even put towel 'animals' on the bed like you see on a cruise. The beds are comfortable and the room is very clean with both a microwave and refrigerator. There is even a small deck off each room with a seating area to enjoy some relaxing time outside.

Quiet, clean, and comfortable. There is a small fridge with kitchenette space which is really helpful for quick meals or cooler item storage, as well as small table for eating. Great location close to throughway from bridge to North Shore, and anything in Summerside. There was a very friendly cat around as well, super adorable... not sure who owns it, but I missed my own cat, so was happy to meet him/her.

This motel is awesome! The owners Aaron & Kendra are very friendly; ready to give you tourist info whenever needed. Our room was spotless and to our surprise, quite spacious compared to others we have stayed at. The beds were super comfortable; one even had a towel decor in the shape of a small elephant. A very nice touch! The grounds are vast for walks or biking on a trail adjacent the property. The mini fridge and microwave are very useful. On site laundry facilities are a bonus! This place is extremely quite. Would def recommend !!!!! Thank you for a great stay!

Cairns motel is a great place to stay! We slept there for 3 nights. King size bed very comfortable, big tv available. Room looks modern and smell so good! Batheroom very clean and a.c. available. Located in Summerside, close to a few restaurants, grocery and bars. Around 40 minutes from Charlottetown and around 25 from New Gasglow, which is where we went. Services is also very great as the owners of the Cairns are very sympathic! Recommand 100%!

We stayed at the Cairns Motel for 10 days in June. The owners are so nice and helpful. Our room was very clean, and the beds were comfy. Room included a fridge and microwave. Because I have a bad back, we were offered a room with bars beside the toilet and tub, which was much appreciated. The grounds are immaculate and it's easy to get to the Confederation Trail for a walk. There is a laundry room onsite which was very convenient. Coffee is available in the lobby every morning. I would highly recommend the Cairns Motel.
