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.
Lisa, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great Staff

The Hotel itself was very clean it was a little dated but was exactly what I expected from the pictures. The location was amazing and the restaurant onsite made it the perfect place to stay. Staff was all friendly and very helpful

Stunning views. Peaceful. I wish I could have stayed longer. Bed was so comfortable
Pamela, 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.

6/10 Good

The room was quite dated but clean. The restaurant was excellent with very friendly waitresses. We would stay there again because it was economical. Could use a bed upgrade.
Murray, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

Disappointed

The WiFi never worked in spite of promises that “a guy would arrive at 5 o’clock who could fix it). So no Internet and then the tv in one of the bedrooms (there was no sitting room) stopped working due to lack of connectivity.
Jacqueline, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Friendly welcoming staff. Room was comfortable with good bed and bedding but no fridge. Restaurant had excellent staff and food was good. Bathroom had large repaired crack in tub.

Very rundown and old
Jackie, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

May visit

Limited options in this area. The rooms are obviously old (staining on walls, bathtub, towels, peeling wallpaper, goles in window screens), but the bed was comfortable enough, there is running water, and a restaurant on site.
