Where to stay when driving to Nova Scotia from Ontario

Map Driving from Ontario to Nova Scotia

Are you driving to Nova Scotia from Ontario? Here are a few options for good hotels to stay at during your drive. 

First, if you’re travelling with pets, be sure to check in advance if the hotel will accept your pet. BringFido.ca is a great website for your initial research into any size or breed restrictions, but I also recommend you call the hotel directly and confirm that the information is up-to-date and their policies haven’t changed. 

  1. Comfort Inn Cornwall
    The indoor heated saltwater pool is an interesting amenity! This hotel has a small gym, perfect for getting your body moving after a long day on the road. Further, the Comfort Inn is within walking distance of a number of restaurants, but if you’re tired of road food, they charge for microwave or mini-fridge rental. 

  2. Hotel Rive Gauche Beloeil
    Just outside Montreal, this hotel is a little more upscale than the others on this list, and perfect if you’d like an excellent in-hotel restaurant with superior wine choices. There’s an outdoor pool, and the hotel is situated next to the river. 

  3. Hotel Universel Riviere-Du-Loup
    With a pool and waterslide for the kids, and a Nordic spa for the parents, this is an excellent choice just an hour before the New Brunswick border. They have lovely spacious suites for families that want to spread out.

  4. Days Inn by Wyndham Riviere-Du-Loup
    A nice place to stop in Riviere-Du-Loup featuring standard hotel rooms as well as cabins with full kitchens and washers and dryers. This inn has an outdoor pool.

  5. Hotel 1212
    Enjoy an indoor pool and fitness centre at this popular stop for travellers. The hotel side of Hotel 1212 has more spacious rooms, but if you’re travelling with pets, you may be placed on the motel side, which features smaller rooms and more dated decor.

  6. Best Western Plus Edmundston
    This hotel has ample-sized rooms, a great pool, hot tub, and gym. Additionally, it’s walking distance to a number of restaurants and offers a good-sized parking lot for those with trailers.

  7. Days Inn Edmonston in St. Basile
    The Days Inn doesn’t have a pool, but it does have a small outdoor climbing structure. It also has larger rooms and great parking for trailers. They definitely allow pets, but you’ll likely want to call ahead and book a ground floor room.

  8. Best Western Plus Woodstock
    This popular stop for those driving to Nova Scotia from Ontario has a small pool, gym, good parking, walking distance to a variety of restaurants. 

  9. Fredricton Holiday Inn Express
    No pool at this hotel, but the rooms feature many amenities like microwaves and mini-fridges, and there’s no charge for the first two pets.
