Air conditioner was going full blast when we checked in. This gave us a comfortably cool room as we arrived, but the system was noisy so we unplugged it for the night. Not a problem, but not convenient. Restaurant (a separate operation) closed before 8 pm, so we headed to a sushi place a couple of km down the road. Breakfast in same hotel restaurant began after 8 am, so again, we headed elsewhere before driving on the next leg of our journey. This is an older motel, adequate for our needs and easily located (hence, "convenient"), but we're glad we had a car to drive to places to eat. Shediac is a beach town, offering much in activities that we were not interested in -- we were just passing through.
