Not A 4 Star Hotel , More Like A Zero.
Atrocious. Dirty, rundown, smelly, gross room with a bathtub that didn’t drain. The bed was disguising & uncomfortable Slumlords treat their guests better . Not A 4 Star hotel , more like a Zero.

Nope
Room seemed like it had not been cleaned. The bedding was full of black lint… floor needed sweeping, the bathroom had three large spiders that we had to kill. Bathroom quite dated and didn’t seem very clean. The front doors of the hotel needed a deep clean on the outside.

Claymore Inn's friendly, attentive staff made our stay at the place very enjoyable. Its cleanliness and the fact that it close to all the amenities: it's right beside the Antigonish Mall and 15 min walking distance from the downtown - makes it another reason why Claymore Inn is a GREAT place to stay! Thank you to your kindness and hospitality Claymore Inn's and the people of Antigonish - see you next time!

This is the only hotel that I have ever stayed at that did not offer basic television service in your room. Nothing local pay for only apps. Not the way guests should be treated.
