We stayed one night and were surprised at the hospitality showed by the young long time owners They are extremely proud of their motel and it shows in the attention to detail. In the new 2 pair laundry room, even the soap was provided for the guests to use! All this and a fridge and microwave in the room too!... more
We were totally satisified with our stay at this motel. The location is great with easy access to many PEI attractions. The rooms were spotless on arrival and daily after the cleaning crew went through. The owners clearly have the motel experience down to an art--fast, efficient, friendly. Great overall experience and I would highly recommend this motel for your... more
I booked many of the rooms here for a family wedding, based largely on comments on TripAdvisor. We were not disappointed! In fact, we were thrilled with the cleanliness, and with the accommodations. Beautiful bathrooms, TV, and wonderful beds!! They spent good money to do it well. Grounds are lovely and peaceful too. Kendra and Aaron are GREAT hosts and... more
Whenever we go home to PEI we always stay at Cairns Motel. We've stayed there several times and wouldn't consider staying anywhere else!! Aaron & Kendra are fantastic hosts!! From the time you arrive to the time you leave they treat you like they've known you forever!! The whole place is absolutely spotless!! The grounds are beautiful!! The rates are... more
I am rating it five stars because it is excellent for what it is - a motel, not a grand hotel. The rooms in the new section are spacious and very well appointed. Two queen beds, two chairs at a table, a large upholstered chair, a microwave and fridge with counter, a closet, bedside tables, and a very nice bathroom... more
We spent two nights at this motel and really enjoyed the experience. The motel has been renovated and gets an A+ for cleanliness.

Aaron and Kendra, the owners of Cairns Motel, treat guests and their pets like family. Wouldn't stay anywhere else . The grounds are lovely and the motel is very clean, and has everything needed for a great stay and a great sleep.
The location is great and so quiet. The beds are wonderful, and the owners so friendly and helpful.
Room was very clean and modern, with comfortable pillow top beds. Super friendly staff
A very clean Motel with very friendly staff and its' terrific central location on the Island makes it the best place to stay hands down! It's impossible to be disappointed with Cairns Motel!
Aaron and Kendra run a very clean and comfortable motel - with so many amenities: wifi, in-room telephone, flat screen t.v. and even coffee/muffins during the low season. I especially love being able to access the Confederation Trail right from their backyard! The location is perfect for me. Close enough to Cavendish and Charlottetown or even a drive up the... more
I arrived on the Island and in need of a place to stay for a few days . I happened upon Cairns Motel as I pulled in Aaron welcomed Me . I told what I was looking for and he said I have just the room for you . It was very clean and impressive . I would like to... more
friendly, accomodating, knowledgeable, generous with their time for information, and most enjoyable

Clean, comfortable room. Excellent facilities with fridge and microwave and free internet access. Extremely friendly and helpful owners. Well worth coming from Australia to stay here.
An excellent choice for a place to stay in PEI. We found the Carins Motel an ideal home away from home while we were there for the Canada Summer Games. The room was clean, comfortable and quiet. The grounds are beautiful. Obviously some pride has gone into recent renovations both to the rooms and the landscaping. Hats off to our... more
I stayed here with my daughter for 2 nights at the end of August 09. Loved it. The room was large and clean. The beds comfortable, the bathroom spotless. No question was too difficult to answer, and the advice was spot on :-) I would highly recommend this motel to anyone thinking of visiting PEI, we loved staying there.
The owners of the motel run it themselves and are wonderful people. Great service, beautiful rooms, and would not hesitate to recommend this place to anyone
We encourage you to enjoy this awesome little piece of paradise we've found this summer, 09'...The Cairns Motel has it all...they are walking distance from the Fundy Trail, amazing beaches, all of the main attractions summerside has to offer, excellent cuisine and of course...Tim Horton's!!! ...the rooms are absolutely gorgeous and immaculately kept...mounted plasma flat screen tv, fridge,... more
We spent 4 nights at the Cairns motel in August of 2009. From the time we arrived we were made welcome by Aaron and his wife Kendra. Both were very helpful and knowledgable. Had one of the new rooms that was very clean and comfortable. Enormous bathroom and wonderful pillow top beds. Big screen TV on the wall was a... more
nice rooms and excellent preseason prices.We were there in may.
The newly renovated rooms are like any 3 star modern hotel- clean and comfortable. The rooms are spacious with a microwave and refridgerator and table. They also offer complimentary Wirless HI-speed internet access. I would recommend this hotel to anyone visitng to area. It's great location to downtown (about 1 mile) as well as access to other spots on PEI... more
Just returned today from PEI and trusting our fellow trip advisors, booked the Cairn motel. We were very pleased. The day we checked in, was so hot and humid. They had the AC in the room already turned on, so the room was pre-cooled. What a nice touch! The beds were comfortable and yes, the room and bath were clean,... more
Summerside can be very pricey but this is an exception. On the main street, the rooms are clean and spacious. You can walk anywhere on the Confederation trail , meeting pleasant people and not seeing any cars. The rooms are well appointed and the owners could not be nicer. This is a great choice.
This is one of the nicest motels we have stayed at in over ten years of summer and winter travel throughout Canada and the US. It was extremely clean, neat and the most comfortable beds!!! We will always look to stay here when in PEI. Way to go Aaron :)
I have stayed at the Cairns Motel a good number of times over the past few years. I am orginally from the Island but have no propery there now. I have stayed at the motel both as leisure and on family matters. Aaron and Kendra are a great young couple and very personable and have hands on to the day... more
This was the third time we stayed at the Cairns Motel. Can't imagine staying anywhere else on the Island. Aaron and Kendra feel like old friends at this stage and couldn't be more helpful. The rooms are spacious and very well fitted out. Linen is changed every day and nothing seems to be too much trouble for the staff. Would... more
This was our 3rd. stay at Cairn's Motel, duration 7 nights. Motel is reasonably located from all attractions on PEI and therefore we utilize the motel as a home base for a week. Aaron & Kendra, owners, are very friendly and will do their utmost to ensure your visit to their Island is completely satisfactory. Thus, great Island hospitality. Rooms... more
Me and my coworker spent a night down the street and the service/quality was terrible. We were recommended to the Cairn's Motel and we were delightfully surprised. The rooms were recently renovated and my room even had a large flat screen LCD TV! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
Aaron And kendra work very hard to make their guests have a positive experience and live up to there adv. The rooms are very,very clean and nicly renovated,with lots of storage space,new fridges and microwaves,new comfortable expensive beds. we had a quiet and restful vac and look forward to another visit to Cairns.
I have been a commercial traveller for over 40 years. I highly recommend this location very friendly excellent clean well appointed rooms. I would rate this establishment higher than many others I have stayed at with higher star ratings
I was in Summerside, PEI recently for business and stayed at the Cairns Motel for my second time. Very nice. The two items I need the most are quiet as I work long hours and on call, and cleanliness. The Cairns excells at both of these and throw in extremely reasonable rates and the pleastness that PEI is known for.... more
A stay at Cairns Motel is a refreshing experience. Rooms are spacious, clean and modern--as good or better than some high-priced accomodations. Owners (Aaron and Kendra) are very friendly, helpful and accommodating. Grounds are meticulously kept--a nice place to sit or stroll about!
My wife grew up in Summerside and we come back for a visit each year that we can. It is such a beautiful area with so much to see and do... we always enjoy. We had driven by Cairns Motel many times before but had never stayed there. This time we didn't have reservations anywhere and when we drove by... more
We spent one night at the Cairns during our month long visit to the Maritime provinces and Newfoundland. The Cairns was undoubtedly one of the truly outstanding accomodations we experienced during our 4 weeks on the road. The friendly atmosphere combined with the cleanliness of the newly decorated rooms were the 2 most positive factors, If you are planning to... more

We just want to add our voice to the many who praise this little gem of a motel. The room and bathroom were very clean and well decorated. The bed was very comfortable. The fellow at the front desk was friendly and offered us advice on where to eat. We followed this advice and had very good meals. When we... more
Owners: really nice people that do a great job of keeping the rooms clean and have a friendly attitude. Appearance: Really cute place with nice landscaping and cute painting exterior. Room: We stayed in a newly renovated room with a flat screen TV and amazing bed. My boyfriend and I have back problems so sleep is always an issue and... more
Ideal location, welcoming, clean, comfortable, affordable, a place to feel at home away from home....it has it all. We came across the Cairn's by accident when hotels were all booked and we wouldn't look anywhere else now for our visits to Summerside. The price is better than good. Cleanliness is 10 on 10. The beds and pillows...we both slept like... more
This is/was a fabulous place to stay. The room was clean and comfortable. The owners were friendly and knowledgeable about the area. This will be our home away from home when we return to Summerside. John and Jan Ontario
Stayed at the Cairns Motel in Summerside, PEI again...and as a travelling sales rep I find most "motels" pretty much on even par. The Cairns however sets a new standard and raises the bar for any other on PEI. While this is an older property, there have been appropriate upgrades (big tv, hugely comfortable beds, M/W and Fridge) so you... more
Stayed here with family. Has been remodeled so very nicely! Loved the bathroom! Comfy beds. Quiet. Great wireless internet connection. GREAT PRICE and friendly manager. I would highly recommend this to anyone traveling PEI.
I have only glowing things to say about the Cairns Motel and the staff. Thjis summer, for the first time, my family and I visited PEI and stayed 3 nights at the Cairns. The owner could not have been more helpful, pleasant , or generous with his time. The rooms were clean, quaint and quiet and the motel was in... more
We couldn't be more pleased with this motel. First of all the family that runs this motel were helpful, friendly and courteous. Everything we needed was provided for. When I asked for an iron the manager brought it straight to us and introduced himself, and offered information about what to do on the island. All of our questions were answered... more
