A good basic motel, but at this time of year, without dinner or breakfast. The Salty Girls diner, 15 minites walk away provided an evening meal. Breakfast was someway back up the highway.

The door wouldn't unlock to get us in to the room. We had to go to get the person in charge to come and help us unlock it. He said the lock really needs to be changed. There were no extra blankets in the room and it was cold. There was only a sheet and a thin bedspread and the heat took a long time to warm up the room. There wasno heat in the was no heat in the bathroom

The room was clean, the bed was comfortable and the wifi was good. Paint was peeling from the ceiling in the bathroom and the door handle was wonky and tricky to unlock with the key. Good water pressure and plenty of hot water that came quickly. Shower grout is in need of a serious cleaning. Small but adequate TV and a fridge but NO COFFEE MAKER! No breakfast either. They bill themselves as the only motel in town with the lowest rates but expensive for what you get. We booked here because we were attending the Celtic Colours Festival dinner and shows at the Fortress of Louisbourg. If we go again we'll stay in Sydney and make the 30 minute drive instead.

The website said free breakfast and a restaurant on property. None were available and were told it was a seasonal thing.
There was no coffee perks in the room. Which meant a 15 minute drive to get coffee in the morning.
No phone in room
Not a lot of toiletries
Basically a bare bones situation.
Will not recommend staying there to anyone. We will not be back.

Have stayed here 4 years in a row, usually in room 1 or 2 which we found clean w/amenities (good fridge, sm tv, microwave) This year, given room #5 which has noticeable deficiencies. Separating wallpaper, gouges in walls, ceiling, cobwebs in bathroom & stained caulking in bathtub surround. Air conditioning unit in real need of a clean.Dirty grid,vents & questionable mold status. Some concern with extension cords used for appliances, tv., lack of outlets to use safely. While its appreciated that property is dated & the per night cost is more reasonable than nearby hotels, maintenance issues speak to a lack of care. Paved areas near doors have collected debris & dirt which could easily be sorted with a few minutes of sweeping. Dissatisfied with lack of information given on check in. Outside of a few daytime hours, we found the lobby & lounge locked, could not get in or find any staff. Got up early to have breakfast the next morning but everything locked up, had to go to convenience store down the road for a coffee. Breakfast lounge area was always open in the past & staff were very helpful. Should have been told when registering, especially after we said we had been there many times in the past, that you will be given room key & then you're on your own. Btw, at least 6 cars here, so its not an empty motel. Sorry to say, we weren't satisfied with our 2 night stay. Mainly due to decline & lack of service. No in person opportunity to share concerns with before 11a.m ckout.

Rooms were not clean. There was dust around the tables and lamp. The bathroom was dirty and the shower had bugs and spiders. The overall feel of the room was very poor. Breakfast was disaster. The cups for juice were dirty enough for you to see. There was hardly any choice for food. There was no staff present during breakfast and a dreadful music was playing, making the atmosphere even more creepy. I really hope they improve the facility. The current conditions are very bad.

Very sad property. Avoid

Entire property is in a complete disrepair. The bed was so far gone my wife and I involuntarily ended up in the deep indent in the middle of the bed. Walls and ceiling had chucks of damage from water leaks. Breakfast (if it's possible to call it that) was sad. The exterior of the main building roofs had decomposing tarps on them to try to minimize leaks. A positive was the staff. They were pleasant and always available. Overall I would never stay here again. I booked it because it was the last property that had rooms. I see why now. In future I'll stay in Sydney and drive instead.

This place is old and rundown. The mattress was old and worn so very uncomfortable. Tried to speak to management prior to leaving our first day but gone by 11. We were going to ask if there was another room with a newer bed but we were gone all day so never had the chance.
The rooms were dark little lighting. Lots of mold around the tub. Had to go looking for a hair dryer on the first day. We got in from the lady in housekeeping. She was very nice and helpful.
We went for the continental breakfast but only on the first day. It wasn’t worth getting up for.
I know the saying you get what you pay for.

We stayed here to be close to Fortress of Louisburg. The room was clean overall and presented as a standard motel room. The room was musty and the bathroom was outdated with mouldy caulking around the tub. The breakfast included burnt tasting percolated coffee, corn flakes/ rice crispies, premade egg patties, commercial bread, and sachets of peanut butter and jam as well as orange juice from concentrate. It was almost unpalatable and we would have preferred not to have been expecting any breakfast at all.

The location is great for visiting the Louisberg fortress and the light house. the light house is a five min drive and the fortress entrance is 6 min drive. They do provide a breakfast. Nothing fancy. cereal and toast and what looked like powdered eggs. Parking is easy. the staff were friendly.

Unfortunately, this property has not been maintained over the last 20+ years. As long time visitors to the area, we had hopes that when the new owners took over a few years ago, there would be imrpovements, that has not happened.

The rooms have not been painted, fixtures are definitely from the late 90s and the polyester bed covers are gatherers of all things hair. A new comforter would be a nice touch.

The motel doors do not close securely, infact ours did not have a deadlock at all and the room next to us did not have a door that sealed.

This was our last year at the motel.

Motel is run down but is the only accomodation in Louisburg itself. The motel restaurant served seafood chowder that tasted like it came from a can, was a small portion, and cost $16. The fish and chips were decent. There are very few restaurants in Louisburg and they all close early. The motel restaurant was open until 7:45.

The room was clean and tidy, and the air conditioning worked well - essential given the heat wave we drove into in the Maritimes. Bed was comfortable and the shower had decent pressure. The morning breakfast was simple but a good start to the day. Not fancy but a solid low cost option for the budget traveler. As for the location, it's a 10 minute drive to the Fort, and (if you need it) a laundromat just up the road. We didn't have too many interactions with the staff but they were always friendly and helpful.

Step-in tub had no grab bars when showering, & short lucite rod on wall was already broken.
Worst-- grimy bedspread not washed in a long time, & then just a sheet. No other bedding.
Very over priced.
We saw cheapest possible \"amenities\" (tiny dollar store bathmat) yet paying beyond top dollar room rate ($489. for 3 nights).

Avoid the motel but enjoy the pub.

The motel seemed quite run down. Beds were not comfortable and unsafe. A wooden plinth with no support across and a box spring balanced on top. One of our party got a back injury due to the box spring collapsing into the plinth.

Bathroom had dripping taps and the floor flooded due to a poorly fitting shower curtain.

No coffee facilities in the rooms.

Breakfast was very basic, toast, cornflakes or rice crispies.

The best part of it was a night in Jake’s Lounge which had plenty of games for entertainment and a decent selection of bar food.

The room was clean and fine overall. Breakfast was a big letdown — no eggs, cheese, or sausages were offered. It was just peanut butter, jam, toast, some bland cereal, coffee, and orange juice. There was an empty electric rice pot, so we figured eggs and sausages were served earlier, but by the time we arrived, most guests didn’t get any. Honestly, this felt more like a basic motel than an inn.

The front door of the lobby was locked, we had to go around the building into the bar to get someone to check us in. The paint was coming off the walls and ceiling in multiple areas. The bedcover looked like it was from 1960. The mattress was uncomfortable and squeaky. There were newer floors and toilet which were appreciated. I would not rate this a three star motel, it was 2 at best. We didn’t feel comfortable using the bathtub. It took 4hrs for the room to warm up, the heat was not turned on, we turned it on. The fridge was very noisy and was sitting on top of a dresser obstructing the mirror. I would not recommend this establishment. There was a written note on the wall when we checked in saying absolutely no refunds. We were glad we were only there for one night.

A solid 1-star motel. From the drive up curb unappeal (apparent unused vacant units, dilapidated siding, ill-fitting AC units, concrete overflow and weed sprouts at footings, etc.) to the cowbell door annunciator to bring attendant from hallway, to the prominent hand-written “NO REFUNDS” sign pointedly displayed over the check in desk, you may feel something other than welcome.
The good? Our unit door locked, the electric heaters were effective (if smelling of burnt dust), the toilet flushes, the linen seemed clean.
The bad and ugly? The in-wall AC unit (showing the service filter light) wasn’t sealed completely and allowed a noticeable draft from the window to intrude into the only seating area; similarly, the door seal was open enough to show light in bottom corner when closed. General uncleanliness: “Lick and a promise” might describe the cleaning style, heavy on the “promise”. Most motel bathrooms show a little mold on the caulk around the tub, but this bathroom had a colony of black mold (Stachybotrys chartarum?) as big as your palm spread on the wall to the floor between the tub and the heater. There was enough that it could be considered a health hazard.
My wife dropped her keys off the dresser and had to pull it out from the wall to retrieve them — suffice it to say this may have been the first time this decade the dresser was moved.
Our recommendations? Book a room elsewhere—you might need to drive farther but you won’t regret it.
