Patrick, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

Had a one night stay. Bedding smelled of pee, there was flies everywhere. Wall paper falling off. It was nice outdoors and pet friendly. But, the room was terrible.
Kelsey, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Convenient and pleasant

The hotel is very convenient, in the heart of the Cabot Trail. Our room had all the conveniences but could use updating. The restaurant was very good.

Decent room for the price
Kenneth, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Bang for buck!

The rooms were dated but I expected it based on it's location. Check-in at the restaurant was ok. The aircon was a bit noisy, uneven floors, wall paper all around... but given that you park outside your room surrounded by open spaces out of Cape Breton Park, I could not fault it. Very good value for money! Will stay again and will stay longer if ever.

Good location,beautiful area, rooms need upgrades.

The bed was very soft and uncomfortable. A/C was too loud to sleep, luckily able to open windows to a cool rainy evening. A challenge to find power in room to charge devices. Cell service and Wifi very poor.
Randy, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Its a beautiful location and the cottage is great too. However, really bad network in the area so be prepared to loose phone network and wifi.
