We stayed here at the end of the season, We didn't expect any frilles and thats what we got. Rooms were dated and bathrooms definitely need some TLC . You can tell that not much reinvestment goes on here. Fairly clean but not much else. If you're looking for mediocrity this is your place.

the lobster meals are the best in the area, the other seafood cooked to perfection every time. We go there five to six times a year when visiting family in the area. Servers are friendly and efficient and never rush. We were there this past weekend the day before they closed for the season Half priced entrees thought I had... More

We arrived here without a reservation; the property looked very well kept, as did the office. The front desk clerk was friendly and helpful, but when we asked to see the chalet with a king bed that was available we were told she could neither leave the desk nor give us a key. She then told us how lovely the... More

Everything is cheap quality but the price (peak vacation season). Staff was very pleasant and accommodating. Room was clean but old and dated. "Water View" was used as a selling point but it is nothing special i.e. no boats going by, no lapping waves, no beach - more like a river as you can see across to the other side.... More

We ended up at the Cove Motel by mistake. We had a reservation at the Maritime Inn in Antigonish; unfortunately, someone input our arrival date incorrectly and they had expected us on the 12th instead of the 21st which was when our reservation had been confirmed for. They had no more rooms so the girl at the desk found us... More

Our group of 6 motorcycles and 9 people stayed here for 2 nights while we explored Cape Breton. Rooms were clean, water hot, beds comfy. Food at the restaurant was excellent, alittle expensive but very good. For those who don't really eat breakfast, maybe muffins or buns included in the price would be a thought. Having the laundry there was... More

Had a good experience at this motel. The rooms need updating, but were clean and comfortable. The restaurant was excellent, friendly service with a great view. Had dinner and breakfast, really enjoyed both. An added bonus to this stop was several whale sightings from outside our room when we arrived, and during breakfast the next day, sweet.

I had a fantastic experience at the Cove Motel. Our room was clean, the staff friendly, and the location beautiful. We ate four meals in the restaurant because it was so delicious. I highly recommend the salmon cakes. We even saw some whales from the dining hall while having breakfast. I am 20 and was traveling with two 80+ year... More

Clean hotel, very friendly staff, picturesque. Needs updating, and not necessarily worth the $109 and $99 we paid as the "off-season" rates (not much to choose from by way of accomodations in these parts, so I suppose this is how they get away with it). The sign on the road states "Rooms Starting at $89" - which are these? They... More
