It is ideally situated and in walking distance to all the restaurants, marina and museums. The room was comfortable although the balcony looked in need of some maintenance.
Breakfast was disappointing, no yoghurt or fruit or cheese and ham. But the worst for us were the paper plates, cups and wooden cutlery. For the rates charged per night, the least they could do is have decent tableware.

I loved the fact that I could park in front of my door. The people here were very helpful. The room was very clean and basic. I booked the room here as a base to drive the Cabot Trail.

Breakfast was good. The door has big gaps around so doesn't feel very safe locked inside and the airconditioning unit was so loud you couldn't keep the room cool.

We had to ask each day for clean towels. The staff was very nice and polite and very accommodating. The breakfast was good, just wish it had lasted a little later. Parking on the upper deck was hard to get in and out of at times. I feel like pictures on the Internet need to be updated. It is definitely a 70s looking hotel that has been revamped. It was nice to be able to have a place to lay our head though! The facility could use updated electrical. I had to unplug their items so I could charge my phone. The water took forever to get hot and in the shower it would continue to go from hot to cold to hot to cold. Not a bad place to stay overall, just can’t give it a five star rating.

Room was on first floor and the foot pounding from the room was bothersome very early in the morning, not the management's fault but speaks to the date of the building.

Luckily the nights are cool because we didn’t find the AC to really do much. This Baddeck location is a perfect spot for a Cape Breton visit!!

We did not enjoy our stay. The rooms were old, very loud air conditioning, and there were live bugs on the floor. When we brought it to the attention of the front desk, they shrugged it off telling us that it should be expected… You can imagine my reaction. Also the rooms really gave off “Motel” rather than “Lodge”.

Unless you have no other choice on your Cabot Trail journey, stay somewhere else if you can.

This property is quite run down. There is no longer any dinner at this hotel despite its website indicating so. Most importantly, the WiFi does not work. Other reviews have indicated such, and I should have taken them seriously. I needed the WiFi to work for business purposes. Impossible in the room or anywhere else on the property. The gentleman at the front desk was on the phone with the Internet provider upon my arrival at reception and that should have been a huge warning sign. I left the property after thirty minutes of trying to connect my computer and phone so cannot comment on the breakfast. The room, however, looked terrible. There was a hole in the wall, chipped furniture, and the a/c unit made so much noise that it would have surely been impossible to sleep unless someone is completely deaf, like Helen Keller level deaf. It is unfortunate because the property has a great view of the water and thus has so much potential.
