Because there was overnight rain in the weather forecast, my buddy and I decided to forego the camping in favour of a simple motel room. It had been quite some time since I had been in this part of New Brunswick, so we decided to stay in the nearby town of Richibucto. A quick scan of the internet turned up the Habitant Motel & Restaurant, which looked like it would fit our needs quite nicely. As it turned out, this is a fairly major establishment for such a small town and I get the impression that it was once one of the main places to stay in this neck of the woods. Now that the small towns along this part of the coast have been bypassed by a newer highway, their business has probably been somewhat affected.
Based on the great service we had at our two breakfasts in their restaurant area, the staff were very friendly. The rooms themselves are pretty basic motel stuff - quite spacious with two very comfortable beds, A/C, a good TV and a nice bathroom. We took a look at their indoor swimming pool area and I was quite impressed with the interior decor - I think the kids would enjoy it if you brought them along! The rear of the motel included a vast green space of open lawns and ornamental trees. It was set up with various camping spots for either tents or RVs. There was also a nice covered wooden swinging-chair contraption that we sat out on after our first day of biking. It was great to relax in the summer air as we watched a dark mass of clouds and lightning strokes approaching. We beat a retreat to our room when the rain arrived and really started to pelt down!! We paid C$103 (US$82) per night including taxes.
