The hosts were very friendly. The area is very close to Canatara beach and waterfront area next to the US border. It is also close to a mall for shopping. The room was big enough. Only issue was the window air conditioner which was a bit loud and air was not cool enough.

This is a basic property which suited our overnight requirements. We did miss having a coffee pot. It was quiet and the location was convenient. The owners were very friendly and helpful.

At our overnight stay within the Gables Inn we enjoyed our overall stay. The rooms were newly updated (we had 2) the beds were comfortable and there was lots of room for activites indoors. The only downfall with the Gables inn is that it’s broadcasted their is a pool for swimming and to our surprise when we arrived it looked like the pool had been closed for many years and instead built a small jungle gym next to it meaning it should have been removed from the ad. The lady working the front desk was friendly and answered any questions we had.

I let hotel management know that our refrigerator was not working and she had it replaced within a couple of hours. The bathroom was recently remodeled, so that was especially nice. We are a family of 5 so having three queens in the room was great.

Likes: price, roomy shower, location and free parking Dislikes: stale smell, dated decor, uncomfortable bed and sheets, leaky toilet
Mo, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Perfectly fine for just me for a night. Yeah, it’s not a Hilton, but NO bugs, mattress fine. Door deadbolt didn’t work, and there’s no other interior chain, but I’m a guy, so I was fine with just the door handle lock. May be more nervous if I were female (but then I’d just ask to change rooms - I’m sure plenty of others have a working deadbolt). Would stay again.

Was close to a music show we were over to see. Nothing fancy but did the job. Much older, nothing fancy
Mike, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

It was nice they gave us a kitchenette room which we didn’t book but enjoyed being able too cook, they have some full time residents there that really hurt their business from making it not enjoyable to sit outside , and loud with fights at night time
Lisa, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

it was a clean and nice motel
The room was very cool at all times there was no thermostat in the room. It was also -26 outside so that might have something to do with the temperature in the room and once you were in the bed it was good sleeping.
Debbie, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

Ok for one night stop over on way to USA. Bathroom was renovated and clean. Rest of room could use some updated. Carpet wasn't very clean..baseboards very dusty. Check in was easy and person was friendly and welcoming.
JA, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Not a bad place for a night. The room was clean and the updated bathroom was nice, but other elements appeared to be a work in progress. Checking in was alright, but we couldn't find any staff to check out (the office was locked all morning, and the room phone didn't work, so we had to leave the key in the room and hope for the best).

Property was great, but there seems to be a problem with the Expedia booking system . Found an attractive price for this , but by the time I got to check out the price had greatly increased. Same kind of problem with my stay at Great Lakes Inn & Suites in South Haven , MI. Low price to draw you in, but much higher price at check out.

6/10 Good

Good location and friendly management
Hotel is nice enough, it was cold though - a space heater was supplied and needed to be kept running to keep the room mildly warm, without the space heater running, or when I went out and turned it off the room was an icebox with the regular heat up full. I had to move the space heater to the bathroom to take showers. The parking lot was also covered in snow while I was there. There was a good snow storm on Friday night and there had been no removal when I left Sunday morning, making getting in and out a challenge.

Gables Inn just Ok....
Our stay at this motel was okay. The room had 2 double beds, tv, fridge, microwave, 2 chairs with a small round table so you could watch tv either from the beds or the chairs, it also had a small loveseat and 2 desks and 2 chairs. The place was pretty clean but definately everything is older and outdated from the bedspreads to the loveseat. No hangers, no iron or ironing board, no tolietries and no coffee pot, etc. If you are looking just a place to hang your hat for a night the place is okay, would not stay any longer. Area was okay, close to the racetrack and casino and had a decent breakfast a few doors down at John's Restaurant. I paid $112.00 for the room for 2 people, definately over priced for what we got.
