Stayed three nights and was very satisfied. Basic accommodation but well provided. Bar, breakfast, laundry, wi-fi, And cheerful helpful people running it. No luxury -- but reliable basic shelter if you are keeping costs down.

I stayed in this hotel in September, 2012. It was clean and comfortable and very good value. It had been largely renovated with new flooring and bed spreads. I did not notice how many chairs were outside the door as I do not use them.Unlike some other reviews I did not find it "musty". I had experienced that problem in... More

Basic is the word! I thought from the write-up (should have read the reviews instead) that we would have a comfortable two nights. Pity it wasn't just one night!! Yes, it was newly renovated and clean but....... We would have appreciated hot water regularly. Never did shower there! The hook fell off the back of the bathroom door; the light... More

Very basic room. Should have known from the one chair outside the room on the parking..not even 2 chairs for a couple. Light over bed didn't work,neither did the one on the night table.

My wife and I were traveling through Cape Breton for our anniversary and for the most part were tenting in some of the great campgrounds in the area. The night of our actual anniversary it was raining quite a bit so we decided we would stay in a hotel for that one night. Since we had planned to visit the... More

The good...good location, price and friendly staff. The not so good.....the room was clean but dated and smelled quite musty. The mattress and bedding were awful! The restaurant onsite was not open in the evening, fortunately, there was a great restaurant close by. Would I go back...probably not.
