The room was absolutely disgusting! There was stains on the sheets, looked nothing like advertisement! The photos were very edited! Staff wasn’t on sight! Walked in and walked out of the place, had to stay somewhere else because of how deceiving it was! Would not ever recommend! I see why they made it non-refundable! What a cash grab!

Worst place in Cape Breton Nova Scotia

We reserved a king deluxe room. Were given 2 double. Only shades that did not cover windows, drywall patch by heater, unsecured cable wire coming from wall.
The furniture was old/chipped. Bathroom had mold on tile grout with no tub drain.
Wasn’t even a paper cup in the room.
When told that the room was unacceptable and not what was reserved, we were given another room with king bed. Room was not at all clean and obviously hadn’t been used recently.
There was literally a massive pile of discarded furniture and appliances outside of the room, including a swimming pool used as a dump.
We were told that was all that was available and we needed to contact Expedia for a refund.
Because of the Celtic Colours festival crowds , we were unable to secure a room at another hotel the first night of our booking.
We stayed one night but found other accommodations the second night.
The ‘breakfast’ was very minimal with poor quality food.
The overall conditions of the property was very poor with piles of dirty linen outside as we pulled into the parking lot. Outside fire pits had unburnt garbage.

I’m not typically a critical person. This is the first negative room I’ve ever posted.The room was dirty and the bathroom was worse. It clearly had not been cleaned. Previous guest’s soap left in the shower, soap scum/residue from bar soap on shower shelf and on sink. Toilet not clean either. Spilled something on top of the mini fridge. The room had a smell we think was bug spray. Our room had a cheap doorknob know that didn’t feel secure at all. We pushed furniture in front of the door to alert us if someone tried to come in. We had other people in our group and the two other rooms occupied by them weren’t better. One couple skipped showering because the bathtub didn’t look clean. I would not stay there again and wouldn’t recommend it to others.

The reviews here lead me to believe that this was a decent hotel. I spent time and money killing about a dozen flies and ladybugs in the hotel before I stayed. The tables were all dusty and clearly the areas under them are not cleaned regularly. I'm glad I didn't get bed bugs which is why I gave them 2/5

Wonderful Stay - Highly Recommended!

We were very happy with the place! The location was great, and we especially loved the park right outside our room with a beautiful view. This was incredibly convenient since we were traveling with our dog.

While the hotel has a noticeable vintage charm, it was well-maintained and felt cozy. A small issue came up when the mini-fridge in our room wasn't working, but we mentioned it at the front desk, and they promptly replaced it with a new one, which we appreciated.

Finally, the breakfast was homemade and quite good. We definitely recommend this spot!

No bath towels… breakfast was a joke! - bottled water in room because of the stench of the tap water - hard to even shower in the water, lamps on tables but didn’t work because there was no place to plug them in… had to unplug TV to plug in my cell phone … and I paid extra to have a king bed! The sheets seemed clean - very disappointing! Would NOT recommend. Lake view? There is a lake down the hill on other side of buildings, across the road, down the bank…

We arrived at approx 3:30PM on Sep 23rd for 2 nights.
After being shown to our room by someone that worked there but didn't know anything about the place whom couldn't even get TV running we were left to wait for more than 45 mins before someone else arrived at the premises to assist us. Our first room was #8..... the walls had holes in them, the air conditioner installation wasn't complete, the fridge had stains in it, the washroom taps were gross. The toilet height was not of standard height. My 81 year old mother couldn't crouch down low enough to sit on the toilet.
He then offered room #17 in which we declined due to height of the toilet.

We left this motel in search for another and did not stay for either night booked.

I am seeking full reimbursement for both nights. I believe you have one bad apple amongst your choices that are offered. My Itinerary number was 72066447595709.

I have also included 8 pics illustrating my displeasure.

Tks in advance

We selected this motel because if it's close proximity to the NL ferry ...It was disappointing since we selected the upgraded King Suite option..we found it to be dated and just ok in comparison to other places we've stayed and paid the same money for...
The so called \"hot breakfast \" was less than desirable with undercooked sausages ..and eggs offered .
It's not a place we would go back to ..

I arrived pretty tired after getting up very early to catch the Port aux Basques ferry and then the long ferry ride. First, the positive. I've stayed in a lot of places and they had, bar none, the best coffee ever. I appreciated the breakfast although bare bones. Place was quite clean.

Check in didn't make me feel very welcome. First, the owner said he will not allow dogs in the future. Ok- that didn't feel good as I arrived with my dog and they said they were pet friendly. It was dark and I am a solo female traveller. They sent me to a behind the motel, more remote room, backing onto some kind of hill, with nobody around. I never found the room and insisted on being in front with other people. So after driving around, going back to the front desk and nobody there. Had to call them on the phone. Not the friendliest people and never tried to help me out.

No wifi pw in the room- walk back across property to front desk. It's on the wall at the front desk- but of course they don't tell you that. Then, wifi and TV don't work. Back to front desk. Oh,,,, the switch on the wall that would be for a light actually turns wifi and tv on/off.

The room was clean but dated. But not a single paper cup in the room. Nothing. Couldn't adjust AC and the room was stuffy. The bathtub/shower was from the 60's- so I wouldn't use it.

Those who rated this place 10/10 are either fake reviews or these people don't get out much. The most I would rate this place is 6/10. Skip it

Bedbug. Avoid

We booked this hotel based on the mostly good reviews on the booking site-8/10 and 10/10 for the majority of the reviews. There were the odd 4/10 reviews but you always have some of those so we didn’t think too much of them. Our experience was really bad.
Pros: a really nice view, a fridge & a location that was a perfect stop for that point on our trip. But that’s the end of the positives.

We stayed in room 10. The bathroom needs to be gutted, it’s full of mildew and the faucets were full of limescale and rust. It smelled very musty. A previous guest had drawn a happy face on the mirror with a bar of soap and it wasn’t cleaned off.

Then it got worse. Around 11:30 pm we found a BEDBUG crawling on the edge of one of the pillows. We only found one bug and did not find eggs but upon closer inspection there were multiple blood stains on the bedskirts and a layer of dust on the lower part of the bedside furniture. The sheets had hairs in them that were not ours.

We did not end up sleeping in the room after the discovery. One of us slept in the vehicle and the others stayed up all night perched in vigilance watching for other critters. Spoke to the manager who asked for pictures of what we found, said he would address it with the cleaning staff. We left and followed up later on, asking for a partial refund, which he said he would. Now that our trip is done we followed up because no refund was received and gave 2 days to respond. Nothing. Would not recommend staying here.

This is a stay you dream about. Not in a good way

This was not what we were expecting. The pictures of the rooms are way nicer than the actual rooms.
We were here for two nights and really happy to leave. If you are coming here set your expectations before you stay. There is no way this is a 3 star place

Pros
- the bed was comfortable
- AC was cold

Cons
- room was not as clean as we were looking for
- main light in the room was broken with no light bulb
- there were insects in the bed when we pulled back the sheet. Flying ants
- when we turned the room exhaust fan on multiple very large insects came flying out
- the tub no slip mat didn’t look as clean as I would have hoped for
- one of our towels had something orange all over it. We returned it to ask for clean replacement
- the water source must be shared with adjoining rooms. When having a shower the hot water would just stop and then you were having a cold shower. The water pressure would only come out in a pencil thin stream randomly.
- breakfast was included but not something we enjoyed. The whole offering was very bland and we didn’t know what kind of meat was in the sausage. We ate out on our second morning.
- we had to wait a really long time to try and check out. When we finally found someone to help they told us to just leave the key on the desk and go.
