Not sure of the current name of the place we stayed. It was actually across the road from the Hearthstone Inn.....was formerly Econolodge, but I think is perhaps owned by same. We arrived late evening with no reservation on the Thanksgiving weekend. Room was comfortable and clean. We were delighted to find they had an indoor pool. Although it was... More

We stayed at this motel for two nightas the end of Sept 2012.Used it as our base for a day trip around the Cabot Trail. The location was perfect for this.The hotel itself appeared outdated on the exterior so we didn't know what we were getting into. Check in was fine with a nice lady checking us in.If I understood...

We stayed there at the end of August 2012. We arrived late at around 9PM. The entrance to our room had lots of spider webs. Some of them are really BIG. The room was clean but it had some kind of bad smell. This place does not provide breakfast. We checked out very early next day. It was not a... More

We stayed one night on our way from Ingonish to Halifax. We were appalled that the carpet and bedspread were stained, the wallpaper was peeling, the paint was dirty and chipped, the lampshade was torn and stained, and the towels were thin.The old baseboard heater was rusted with part of it broken off (but it worked using the wall thermostat)....

Room was clean and beds were reasonably comfortable, but hotel is old-fashioned single story and somewhat rundown. Rooms are also very dark, even with all available lights on. During the day, open curtains improve that somewhat, but also remove privacy. Warning, walls are VERY thin. We could hear phones ring, and listen to conversations in the room next to ours.... More

Read some reviews before I left on this business trip, I should have believed what I read. This place is horrible, dirty & not worth the money. We had 5 rooms booked for our crew & we all came to the same conclusion. There was a fire our first night there & no one told us. We only found out... More

Although not the worst motel in the world, I'd certainly recommend going out of your way to avoid staying here. The rooms as VERY old and make you feel like you're going to get sick if you touch anything. We were booked to stay here for one night either side of our few days in cape breton island but cancelled... More

During a weekend storm I stopped here to be safe! So much for that idea. During the night the power went out and I know things happen but no phone or water either!! No back up generator! The manager said it was beyond her control , blamed NS Power,and would not offer any rebate or discount!! Not having a generator... More

When I found out that I was booked at this motel for the night, I wasn't sure what to think. I am always a bit weary of the drive up to the door motels, but it was available and I needed a place to stay the night. Overall, I wouId say that I was pleasantly surprised. The room, while very... More
