Older motel room but clean and comfortable mattress and bedding. Unfortunatly, there was a heat wave and the floor air conditioner kicked on and off all night, so it was hard to stay asleep. The restaurant on site was very convenient with delicious food. The servers were excellent and very attentive.

We stayed 2 nights at Telegraph House. The location is great and walking distance to some restaurants and has beautiful surroundings. The Motel is a converted older house and is charming. The sheets and the room were clean. The furniture is very dated and the amenities are minimal but adequate. Overall recommend this place as a good option in Baddeck.
