We reserved a room at Dockside Suites through Booking.com, and we're happy we did. The room was a large king bed room overlooking the water -- three large windows provided the viviews, and in addition there was a small private wood deck right outside the room also with a glorious sea view. The room was spotlessly clean, the bathroom was large with a very nice step-in shower (no tub), and there was also a roomy closet. The bed proved comfortable, and the AC worked fine. Technology got in the way with the TV, however. We couldn't figure how to operate it, and asked the staff to help. It took them a while to get it right, but then the next evening we encountered the same problem and got the same help. Too much technology, in our opinion.
The suites are entered from the street and up a flight of steps - no elevators. Hauling bags can be challenging. The front desk is in the next door restaurant, a little confusing at first. Parking is free in a small lot across the street, though spaces are limited. There are a couple of restaurants, all part of the same group, located in the building. (We review them separately.) One gripe: one of the restaurants has an outside speaker spewing a sort of loud disco 80s beat music and we could feel the thump-thump in our room from around 3 until it quit at 11pm. We asked about having it stopped and got no results. A minor issue but an annoying one that keeps us from giving this hotel five stars. The staff proved friendly and helpful. The suites are quite a bargain given their size and the views, a little under $200 per night in US dollars. Digby is a nice little town on the Bay of Funky famous for its fresh scallops, and we can't imagine there's a better place to stay if you're visiting here. read more
