Rodd Grand Yarmouth

It’s time to renovate and update this room. Double bed mattress was okay as single and was comfortable. Furnishings have seen better days. Arm chair needs cleaning or replacement. Hallway smells funky. It is close to the ferry.

Hotel desk, amazingly friendly & helpful. We are grateful for Sophia going above and beyond to help us! Room fine but housekeeping is non existent. Could hear the man next door coughing all night. Thought he was in the closet it was so loud. Good location, (1) luggage cart only, staff made it nice (except housekeeping) not sure what they do!

The room was so hot and uncomfortable with no way to control it. The ceiling fan was loud and ineffective. It was too hot even with just sheets on. ||The bed was comfy for 1, but dipped in the middle and uncomfortable for 2 people, especially bc it was too hot to touch each other. ||It’s very dated and needs a refresh. But it was clean. ||There is no parking at this hotel. You have to pay for parking up the street. ||Great location that is super walkable to many attractions.

Slightly tired looking from the outside but nice, clean and stylish inside. Large comfortable rooms with the best and comfiest mattresses we've slept on for some time.. Good little gym and large pool with sauna was much appreciated. Polite front desk staff.

We chose this hotel as we arrived late evening off the ferry and this hotel was literally 2 minutes drive away! The staff were polite and friendly and check in was quick. Our room was clean but a little dated and needed modernising as was the bathroom. We enjoyed our evening meal in the onsite restaurant.

We were transiting on the ferry to Bar Habour. We took a shuttle from Halifax. (The shuttle was terrible - nothing to do with the hotel). This hotel was great! newly renovated. great beds and bedding. Good shower/bath. great location.

We needed a room last minute and the staff were really wonderful about helping us get a room. There is even a restaurant inside the hotel. Again, running at the last minute for food and the server and cook were very accommodating. 2:30 in the afternoon and we were able to order breakfast. Food was very tasty, just wish restaurants (most) would stop with seasoning the home fries. Not all of us like that. The room was perfect for our needs. Clean, smelled fresh, looked tidy. Little bar fridge, king-size bed, coffee maker, TV with cable. The usual amenities in the bathroom. I quickly crashed after eating - the food was delicious. If we hadn't been coming home, there was a nice indoor pool with sauna I wouldn't have minded trying out. Both check-in and check out were smooth and quick.

Very disappointed with my stay. I lost my AirPods in the room and the staff was completely unhelpful. I asked for the manager multiple times but never heard back. No one took responsibility or followed up. It felt like they just didn’t care. I strongly recommend keeping your belongings with you at all times and do not leave anything in drawers or around the room. If you misplace something, there’s a good chance you won’t get it back—and you won’t get much help either.

1 Wonderful stay! Review of Rodd Grand Yarmouth Hotel Reviewed yesterday I don't know why this hotel is only rated a 3 star, it is lovely. The front staff was extremely friendly and efficient. While checking in I requested extra pillows and blankets and they were in the room by the time I parked the car. The room was spacious and spotless. The shower pressure and water temperature were perfect. The restaurant staff for breakfast were very quick and the food was tasty. The price was very reasonable. We did not have time to enjoy the pool but it looked very inviting. We will definitely stay here the next time we are in Yarmouth.

I have stayed at Rodd on several different occasions, its a old Hotel and the rooms are older and do smell from the Hotel being older I understand that the smell may not be able to get out of the building because of the age of the building. As well as having issues with their toilets backing up on several different occasions. We phone in and told them in advance that my daughter and myself would be there at some point after supper to make sure there would be a room. They reassured us that in fact there would be a room for us. Upon our arrival they asked me for a credit card so i thought my debt credit card would work or cash would work for them because i have a history of staying with them however they told me that they were not allowed to accept either one of those however the gentle man did end of taking a visa debit card for us to stay and took a deposit from the card We went to our room and I invited some family members over we were sitting talking about what it was like growing up and laughing at the old times we were not drinking not that it matters but the point is if we were it would have been nosier and we had a knock at the door telling us we were to loud and the lady stood there and starred me down (wow) my family left and went home The next morning at check out time I was told unless I have a credit card I would not be allowed to stay with them any more. I said to the manager that I would probably end up staying in a Air B & B next time and he told me that they are not as sanitary as the hotels. I am the type of person that if the place I am paying for is not clean I will ask for my money back. I have stayed in Air B & B before in Yarmouth and its been really clean and even had homemade cookies and sweets upon arrival. I asked for the number to head office and he told me he would email it to me 3 days went by and I didn't hear from them so I called the head manager of the Hotel and explained the issue to her and she started slightly laughing on the other end of the phone which i told her was very rude The bottom line is unless you have a credit card don't call Rodd's in Yarmouth because they will not accept you

The only thing this place has going for it is it's proximity to the ferry. The town of Yarmouth has very little to offer (we stayed here for two days; we did some kayaking and went to the Forchu lighthouse.). The rooms are outdated and old, the staff is pleasant and receptive to your needs. There's a diner style restaurant in the lobby as well, food is standard for that establishment. There's also a small swimming pool on site. Honestly, if you can, drive and stay in Digby and then continue with your plans. The only reason really to book here is the night before you depart on the ferry as it leaves quite early in the morning or if the ferry docks too late at night for travels. Three stars for the proximity to the ferry and the staff. If based on quality of the rooms and accoutrements, one to two stars.

Oh, good heavens, no. This may be the old main hotel but it's incredibly weary; it's not just that the rooms were cramped and noisy and smelled quite a bit off, they haven't even bothered to do cheap upgrades where they can (see also, the incredible CRT TV). We were just spending the night waiting for the ferry, fortunately, but I can only barely recommend it for that. The oddity of the night we were there was that they were hosting a wedding (oh, the poor Bride) and had some other event, so we didn't even have adjacent parking. The parking lot across the street, downhill, was dirt and gravel. And we got no help, once again, with our stuff, for love or money. I realize Yarmouth has seen better times, but I have to think there's a better alternative around for the quick night's stay, and I certainly hope there's one for the longer-term resident.

This place is just tired. What little renovations have happened are uneven; my party had two rooms right next to each other, and one had a renovated bathroom while the other did not. The "renovated" bathroom had visibly shoddy work, and the non-renovated bathroom was straight out of the early '60s. I'm honestly not sure which was worse. We weren't warned about construction happening during our stay. That wasn't ideal. In the morning, I woke up to such a reek of bacon and fried eggs that for a minute I thought someone had ordered room service. Rooms on the 3rd floor should NOT smell that strongly of food from the kitchens a few floors down. I can't imagine how bad the ventilation system must be for that to have happened. Thankfully I was there for only one night before taking the ferry the next day. The only redeeming factor for this hotel is its proximity to the ferry terminal. If you can stay anywhere else, do so.

My friend and I stayed at this hotel because we were in a wedding that was 20 minutes from this location. I'm giving two stars because the staff were great, the beds comfy and the rooms quiet. The ice machine is located on the fourth floor and the floor itself has a off putting smell. The ice room needs to be cleaned. Don't eat at this hotel! I ordered a beef dip in their lounge and it didn't look like any beef dip I have ever had. The "jus" was watery fat! I dipped my pinky finger into it and tasted it and thought "yuck! I'm not eating the jus" but the sandwich itself looked ok. Three bites into the sandwich and I sent it back! Tasted bad. I immediately returned to my room and vomited. Sick for the evening! Ended up going to the pharmasave down the street from the hotel to get gravol. Luckily I was ok by the next day to be in my friends wedding. Don't. Eat. Here. There is a family restaurant (Jake's?)not far from this location that was great--eat there!

Good. Clean and economical. Air conditioner did not work well. Water pressure was good, tv was good. A microwave would have been a benefit.

This place probably deserves three stars because given the location of the hotel, it's pretty much the best thing around. Although the rooms are old, the bed was comfy and staff was nice.

Not a dump but the hotel is pretty run down. TV from the last century. Stained ancient carpet. Noisy old air conditioner. Thin walls. Hasn't seen an upgrade since Nixon was President. I'm here in this faded town for tomorrow's ferry to Portland and this was the only hotel available. That being said, the service is pleasant and efficient, the room was clean, and they seems to be trying hard to do the best that they can with what they have.

It's nothing amazing, but it's good enough. I happened to stay at the Rodd for a month once. The service was very kind, but the hotel itself is becoming run down. The hotel's hot tub is partially broken, and many rooms desperately need renovations. That being said, there have slowly been improvements to TV, internet and some floors overall. I choose the Rodd every time I stay in Yarmouth. It's the best bang for your buck.

Terrible. Do not stay here if you want to park your car, as would be expected. Unsafe and insufficient parking. Also don't come here with people who can't walk far from parking (if it's even available). You're wasting your time here.

Not horrible but certainly not worth anything more then a basic chain hotel. Not disgusting but not clean.... There's seriously a large build up of dirt on the vent in the bathroom and don't look behind the bed Cus I'll guarantee you it's not vacuumed. Wall paper peeling off and the bath well the bit exactly user friendly. The thing is, it's Yarmouth and I'm sure not a lot of traffic. It's fine, all I'm saying is if you can get something for less $ don't be fooled that you're getting something better here.

Hotel needs serious upgrades. Dated, tired scruffy. Would have worked in 1975 but not today. Avoid if you can. I travel over the Maritimes and it's the most dated I've stayed in. Even the lower price box chains as it were would be a far better choice. Way past is best. Avoid
