Hotel Moncton
A six-minute walk to the slides, breakfast included
About this hotel
Hotel Moncton sits just off the Trans-Canada Highway, six minutes' walk from Magic Mountain Water Park, with a complimentary breakfast buffet bundled into every stay and a seasonal outdoor swimming pool on site for the days the family wants a lower-key swim. Rooms offer free WiFi, cable TV and a seating area, spacious and bright rather than a cramped highway motel room, and free parking covers the length of the stay. Ten minutes' walk from Casino New Brunswick and Magnetic Hill Zoo, and one kilometre from Mountain Woods Golf Club, the property gives a rest day genuine options without needing the car. Greater Moncton International Airport sits sixteen kilometres away, and the combination of proximity to the park and a bundled breakfast makes this one of the most practical, walkable bases for a Magic Mountain trip on this strip.

Our take
Hotel Moncton suits a family whose whole trip revolves around Magic Mountain, given the genuine six-minute walk to the gates and a breakfast buffet that saves a morning search for food. It is not a luxury property, so expect straightforward rooms rather than a resort feel, but the location and bundled breakfast make it hard to beat for pure convenience.
- ✓Walk to the park instead of driving; six minutes on foot beats hunting for parking at Magic Mountain during a busy summer day.
- ✓Eat the breakfast buffet before an early start to beat the crowds through the gates on the park's busiest school-holiday mornings.
- ✓Use the seasonal outdoor pool on a lower-key afternoon instead of a full return trip to the water park across the street.
Why we love it
- Six-minute walk to Magic Mountain
- Complimentary breakfast buffet
- Seasonal outdoor pool
- Free parking included
Why guests love itWe walked to Magic Mountain every single morning after the breakfast buffet, never once needing the car until an evening walk to Casino New Brunswick in the other direction. The seasonal outdoor pool covered the one afternoon the park closed early for weather, and free parking meant our five-night stay never added a hidden cost on top of the already reasonable room rate.
