Marble Inn Resort

Was a grrat place to lay our heads but unsatisfied with having to go to the front desk continually to ask for the extra items we needed as I clearly stated there were 2 adults & 1 child, we were supplied enough bedding, towels, toiletries for even 1 person We had just travelled from a resort that had cleaning staff daily who happily replenished our items needed

Wonderful place to base our family for a week in western Newfoundland. The 10-year old condos look as though they were built yesterday. The restaurant is top quality. The manager/owner was always around and gave us lots of tips. Kayaking and swimming in the River was great, as was relaxing in the sauna and indoor salt pool. We enjoyed the nearby ziplining and mountain hikes. We twice went Northeast to Gros Morne National Park for superb hiking, and we also went west to Blow Me Down Provincial Park and Bottle Cove (the latter a hidden gem). Basing ourselves just east of Corner Brook was a great decision as it allowed so many options that were not too far from the ferry to/from Nova Scotia.

Although beautiful and well-maintained, we had a few concerns. Knowing we had booked for 3 people (2 adults and 1 child) in a suite with a bed and a pull-out couch, I never would have guessed that we would be expected to make the pull-out bed ourselves. We also had to ask for another bath towel since only 2 were left in our room. Again, we booked 3 people... With the A/C in the bedroom and the door closed while sleeping, the outer area with the couch was stifling for my son. Opening the window was not an option with the highway noise. When we went for dinner, we were asked if we had a reservation. (When we registered, the girl at the desk merely told us when the restaurant opened.) After responding that we did not, the server/hostess said it would have been a good idea. We were in no position to drive as we had had a few drinks in our room. I believe that is the only reason she said she would find us something. On the way to our table, she told another employee not to accept anymore "walk-ins", like we were the plague. The restaurant was pretty empty at that point. The server/hostess never returned to ask about our meals, but she did for others. When finished, I had to go look for her for our bill because she never came back to our table. When we left, the restaurant was not even half full (reservation needed?). When we returned to our room, my husband made himself a pb&j sandwich because, " I have never left a restaurant hungry". Tiny portions, big prices and poor service.

Beauty of a location... clean room.. pool wasnt open but kids got to see the livestock. Great stay, again!!
