When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
Every year, I got to an event near Sharbot Lake, and every year, I leave booking accommodations until it is far too late. This year, I booked at the Sharbot Lake Country Inn.
It is, like everyone says, an older motel that is being updated. Big rooms, and nothing wrong about it. Nothing much right about it either, but it's a place to put one's head for an evening for not a lot of money.
But it's the best in Sharbot Lake -- because there really isn't much else.

We stayed here for four nights and, while it was clean and did the job, the owners/managers really need to spend some money on this place. The first room had a king sized bed, a desk, two chairs and very little else. The towels were threadbare and the bathroom made me cringe. It was as clean as could be but the caulking was covered in mildew. The carpet in the room was stained and really needs to be changed out.
There is a microwave and a small bar fridge. They will also give you a coffee maker but you need to ask. The television worked fine.
We had to change rooms after two days (the room next to us had noisy guests) and all they had was a room with two double beds. The room was exactly in the same shape as the previous room. Clean but needing repairs and updating.
We stay here because we have family nearby but I certainly wouldn't recommend it unless you need to be in Sharbot Lake. That being said, the owners/managers were very helpful and courteous and I would certainly agree with others that they are doing their very best with a very run down property.

The good: room was big, spacious, clean, nicely appointed. Equipped with fridge and microwave (asked for coffee machine and got it). Gorgeous view of the water. Staff was very nice, helpful, and friendly.
Not so good: Front of motel looks funky which gives you a not so good feeling. Restaurant not open late or early, so went across street to little burger joint which was fine. No screens on huge windows and when they were open (so we could hear the beautiful loon calling across the water) the skeeters got in. Beds a bit hard and wanted a light blanket -- comforter too hot, sheet alone too cold. A/C works well but wow is it noisy.
This is a good place and with just a bit more effort could be very good.

This elistablishment appears to run on a fly-by-night basis. When I phoned a month before the three night booking I wanted and provided the credit card information etc. there was some confusion about whether they had three nights vailable. Two nights were okay but the owner, Gobi Brian, ensured they could put me in another room for one night. They did not send me a confirmation number by email as promised but I assumed they would have called to do so if there had been a problem. I was quoted a total for the three nights. I phoned them again a week or so prior to the booking to inquire about another matter and surprisingly found out they did not have me booked. I was then referred to Chen (phoned him) who apparently was working on the booking system. He eventually found me and assured me I had te three nights but the first night would be in the "main building" but I would be sharing a bathroom. On arrival I found that this room was part of staff accommodations, no lock on the door, and rather adhoc. I was never presented with a booking invoice and I assumed this room would be at a reduced rate under the circumstances. The inn shared a desk with their restaurant and only opened from noon onwards. Since I was out all afternoon/evening those days I was not able to see anyone when I was there and even on checkout, with no invoice provided, I did not have the opportunity to see what they were charging me. I phoned a number of times to confirm what to do but never saw anyone on checkout when I left mid morning. I did get charged on my credit card, an amount I would like to challenge or at least comprehend. No luck, no invoice bill.

Ok, let me start with the positive ... .... and now the negative ... haha So, the rooms are not COVID clean, I actually spent the first day cleaning the room as I had no choice but to stay for 7 days, the wifi was unacceptable for the first two days but was fixed and I was able to get some work done. The beds are very uncomfortable and the bedding is very old. This Inn is extremely run down, and they are charging hotel prices without any benefits of a hotel. I found it overpriced. However , the view of the lake is breathtaking and the food was fantastic , the owner Sandra was wonderfully accommodating and very friendly. This place is set up for out of town workers ( men) , housekeeping needs to be improved.

Response from Sandra White, Owner at Sharbot Lake Country Inn & Crossing Pub
Responded 11 Mar 2021
Hi Tammy, I appreciate feedback both positive and negative however, your comments are unfair and inaccurate. The rooms are cleaned thoroughly after each guest and are completely in line with COVID-19 protocols. Safety always remains our number one priority when booking accommodations. You mentioned that your husband worked in construction and often would bring in soil on his boots which you wanted to clean daily. We provided you with mop so that you could clean on a daily basis. We confirmed with you that during covid we would provide linens and toiletries when requested but do not enter the room during the clients stay. Our rooms have been completely renovated over the last 3 years, which included new washrooms, flooring, drywall trim and decor. We also purchased new beds and bedding. We provided a 20% discount as you were staying multiple nights. We are located in a small rural community and WIFI options are limited in the whole county, we advised you prior to booking that we had been experiencing internet issues. We are working with our provider to get the matter resolved, but like other businesses, the pandemic has delayed many services. There was an option for a Bed and Breakfast in the town as well as other accommodations within a 25-minute drive, you were not forced to stay here. We could have suggested other arrangements if you had brought up your discomfort with us during your stay. Thank you for your comments on our food. We try to accommodate our guests as much as possible given that the restaurant is currently closed. I arranged for our cook to come in for you and your spouse to prepare your meals, which is not something we usually do. Given that you were spending multiple nights, and that most businesses are closed during these hard times, we try to accommodate our guests as best as we can.

This little motel, to me, was a gem. Due to covid we did not meet with any staff... but I spoke to Sandra a couple times during the booking, checking in and check out process via text, email and phone. The room is a no frills, comfortable and clean larger double room. The beds are double beds and very soft... if you like a super firm bed.. these are not. But boy, they were comfy! Nice pillows. The room has no carpet and no fabric upholstery which I liked. There was a small fridge with a little freezer and a microwave, coffee maker and we requested a kettle which they provided. Black out curtains cover the patio doors which open to the porch. The unit looks over the water. I could see the lake from my bed! We were so comfy we lazed around in the awesome air-conditioning on our second day. It was a birthday getaway and we thoroughly enjoyed it. I highly recommend this little place if you go to Sharbot Lake. We hope to return one day! Thanks Sandra!

This was the most disappointing dining experience I have ever encountered. When phoning on the previous day to inquire regarding reservations the recorded message stated they were open on Thursday and Friday only, when we arrived we were immediately confronted with the wait staff indicating that a large reservation would be arriving in about 1 1/5 hours so should we choose to eat outside that we would have to be gone inside that timeline. The wait staff are disorganized and forgetful stating excuses that weren't our concern. The food choices as described on the menu were not as served, two in our party ordered the Ultimate Chicken Sandwich and when it arrived the waitress was questioned as to where the chicken was in the sandwich, she indicated the "Pulled Chicken" was blended into the garnish like chicken salad, which was none existent and the Creamy Caliente Burger was not as described in the menu, the jalapeño and cream cheese was just cream cheese, the jalapeños were none existent. I suppose this being the first and the last visit sums up the lasting impression this establishment has left on our group of 4 and is a fair warning for future visitors and patrons.

Rooms really need upgrading. No Frills Motel. Try somewhere else like a B&B or something. Needs owners who know what all customers need and require and expect. It's like a low budget highway motel with high prices.

Had lunch on the patio. Shrimp salad and a burger. Both absolutely delicious. Not a standard burger...the cross bun was lightly crisped, the burger-juicy...everything clearly homemade. Lovely patio and lovely service. We started planning our next visit there again in a few weeks even though its a 3 hour drive! Well worth it.

I was a sceptic. Being from a small town I was uncertain as to whether or not the new owners were going to make it better or keep it the same old boring way..... I WAS AMAZED the hospitality shown by Frank and Sandra is unparalleled unless of course you`ve been to Newfoundland. As a vegetarian I panic when it comes to reading the menu. Veggies can be happy! This pub has no problems altering what the can and the kitchen goes out of its way to make people happy. If you want it they will do their best to find it. Great atmosphere, great food, great time! I`ve yet to stay in the rooms because we live close so I am not able to give my opinion on them. That said if you are driving through Sharbot Lake and you are hungry the staff are fabulous and the atmosphere will take every bit of your stress away.
