- June (8/5): Nice motel located on the Cabot Trail. - Nice motel just off the main Cabot Trail. Accommodations were basic but the rooms had everything you could need and included a small front balcony overlooking the water. Nothing, everything was fine.
- Dan (7/5): -
- Michael (10/5): -
- Erin (7/5): -
- Jo-Anne (9/5): We were completly happy withour stay & so glad they had an opening for thenext night on short noticl - Breakfast was wonderful with pancakes for takeout, great next morning too. Nothing
- lisette (6/5): Je ne reviendrais pas - Dames sympathiques. Lit très confortable Tapis, ça sentait l’humidité. Pas de table. Salle de bain très petite
- Renate (6/5): - Frühstück nicht inkludiert. Zugang zum See über die Straße. Zimmer sehr abgewohnt. Sehr abgelegen von Baddeck.
- Noxibo (8/5): Gutes Motel für 1-3 Nächte - Großes Zimmer mit 2 Queenbetten (zu zweit ok, zu viert wäre es mit dem recht kleinen Bad schwierig). Schöner Blick von der Terrasse auf den See (Straße ist aber dazwischen!).
4 Flaschen Wasser wurden täglich aufgefüllt, sehr (!) nettes Personal im Restaurant, wo der Check-in stattfand. Das Essen war ok, nicht herausragend, aber in Ordnung. Teppichboden, insgesamt etwas in die Jahre gekommen, aber ansonsten völlig in Ordnung für ein Motel.
- Roberta (6/5): - View of Bras d’Or was nice. Staff were good Old smell to room. Needs updated
- Frances (9/5): - Location is senic.
Breakfast was reasonably priced.
Staff was accomodating and friendly.
- Janet (8/5): Lake view, comfy beds - Property is on a hill side, so you get a good view of the water. Nice restaurant on Property. Comfy bed. We booked a queen room with a lake view and were put in a chalet with a lake view. Privacy, yes, but not as up to date as the pictures show that the regular motel rooms are.
- Buchanan (8/5): -
- Brent (8/5): - Nice clean motel, very good restaurant. Nice location.
- mendenhall (8/5): -
- G Marie (8/5): - Right on the highway but very little noise...older motel, but clean and comfy...always enjoy staying at older motels that have some character...would stay again!
- Martin (9/5): - Nice staff and good located. Room clean and quiet. Interior a bit out dated with spots on the carpet.
- barb (10/5): Great staff, food and location. - The room, the location to the Cabot Trail but especially the helpful and cheerful staff!!!! The restaurant on site had great food and so nice to have after a long drive from Halifax. Would stay here again in a heartbeat! The platform under the mattress! Be careful as I stubbed my big toe a few times.
- Thomas (9/5): Nice Locally Owned Motel. - What a nice place! We had a double bed room. They weren’t Queens but that was OK. They were very comfortable and we used them both for a little extra sleeping room. The room was very clean with a great view of the lake across the street.
Dinner in the attached restaurant was excellent. All good!
- Lloyd (5/5): -
- SHOFIQUE (8/5): - Beautiful view and the stuffs were friendly and helpful.
- John (10/5): - Staff were lovely,great location for driving up either side of cabot trail. Only short drive from centre of baddeck. Clean rooms serviced daily, on site restaurant available, free parking. Good views of ocean.
- Aiz (8/5): - Water pressure is amazing, 10/10, perfect after a long day of travel. Staff are very friendly and location is perfect. The room is clean, need minor refresh (new carpet and ac/dehumidifier). Overall though, we still enjoyed our stay.
- cheryl (8/5): Met my expectations - Meals were fabulous!
- Haw (10/5): - Great staff, great food great service would stay again
Beautiful location
- Jose (4/5): - Rooms are old, musty smell.
- Nicolas (9/5): -
- Stacia (7/5): Real Old School Motel - Ok the walls are exceptionally thin but it’s an old school motel with an amazing water view. Sunset and sunrise. The staff makes it all worth it and the location top notch! I drove out every day to Cabot Trail, and just everywhere up north. The fortress, highland museum etc. but honestly I loved having a decent size fridge. I could freeze my cooler packs and really keep food. For the bad the good just out ways it all See above
- Donna (9/5): - The food at the restaurant was very good and the view was spectacular. The tub did not drain very well, when having a shower the water stayed in the tub.
- Jones (7/5): -
- Tremblay (9/5): Great staff and very clean! - The location and the views were great and the staff very friendly! It would have been nice to have a continental breakfast included in the price.
- Anne (8/5): Comfortable stay - Comfy beds. Parking right at door. Short drive to Baddeck Broken blind, but was fixed very quickly.
Lights very bright outside the room
- Terry (7/5): Convenient stay post ceilidh - Convenient to Baddeck town but in quiet outskirts
Kitchenette well appointed minus toaster
First floor entry
Beds comfy
Clean
Great shower pressure
Small view of water in distance Wi fi spotty
- mendenhall (8/5): -
- Dennis (10/5): Great place! - Didn’t have breakfast. Just supper. It was great!
- Patricia (9/5): Very relaxing and enjoyable stay - The rooms were lovely with a patio door out to the balcony overlooking the lake. Very peaceful. The staff were super friendly and the cost of the breakfast in the restaurant was very reasonable. Nothing really. It did require a car to get to town although only a 5 minute drive.
- Bulginder Sheila (4/5): - staff at motel & restaurant were friendly. Bed was awful.
- Philip (9/5): It was a perfect getaway location! - Location was perfect for getting anywhere on the island. Having a dining room on sight was great. Great food too!
- Edgar (10/5): - This was a perfect place to stay. We enjoyed it greatly.
- Paul (8/5): - Great location on the Cabot Trail just outside of Baddeck. Staff were friendly, place was very clean, but the walls are thin between rooms and quite dated. Overall a good stay!
- Stephen (8/5): - Only there one night, but it worked for our purposes
- Ellen (9/5): -
- Jacqueline (7/5): - Petit déjeuner très bien. Emplacement près de la route. Belle vue sur le lac! Lit confortable! Salle de bain désuet. Pour petite personne, papier hygiénique pas facile d’accès, miroir beaucoup trop haut, insonorisation insuffisante.
- Richard (8/5): See above - We like a healthy breakfast. With the exception of Cheerios(!) there was no other option but to go for the usual eggs, sausage etc. Eggs are very healthy of course but it would be good to offer healthy cereals such as muesli, nuts ,seeds, gogi berries and yogurt etc as an option to complement the wholemeal(?) toast and eggs etc.
The evening meals were very good especially the tomato soup which was amazing! See above. Otherwise everything was very good and very reasonably priced
- Debra (7/5): Just ok. - On site restaurant was ok. Friendly staff. Sliding patio door didn’t lock but a stick to stop it from sliding open was provided. Share balcony with neighbours. Not very soundproof.
- Shirley Anne (8/5): - The lady who checked us in was very nice. Our room was clean (except for the worn out and stained carpet) but dated. The exterior of the property is updated and beautiful but they need to improve the rooms. We enjoyed sitting in the patio chairs in front of our room for our morning coffee, which looked out over Bras d’Or Lake. We would stay there again but hopefully they update the rooms a bit.
- Randy (6/5): - Good bang for your buck . Food was great too .
- Kerkhof (8/5): -
- Crystal (6/5): - Absolutely loved the location but motel definitely needs upgrading
- mccarthy (6/5): Central located along Cabot trail - Location suited our driving distance for day Property was on gravel , rooms were small but fit the bill It was a typical 70-80s highway cabin.
- Albert (9/5): -
- Faye (8/5): Coming back in a few years so I'll stay with you again!😁 - Loved room with view of water and room so near the restaurant as I have pain while walking!
Motel receptionist was so friendly and helpful, telling me where I wanted to eat and fiddle entertainment! Restaurant breakfast was great!!
- Monique (5/5): Juste passable - Matelas affaissé , tapis douteux
- Normand (9/5): Super séjour - Personnel super sympathique et accueillant. Très propre. Nous avons pris le déjeuner au restaurant sur place, très bon. Emplacement Wow! Rien de négatif
- Mervin (7/5): Comfortable and clean, would stay again - Good location with magnificent lake views. The room was comfortable and very clean. The air conditioner didn’t work, blew but didn’t cool. Wasn’t really a big deal as there was a ceiling fan and the day wasn’t overly hot.
- Fuller (10/5): Best accommodation to visit the Cabot Trail - Great place. Central to the Cabot Trail. Super good restaurant. Staff were excellent. Nothing. Exceptional place to stay

- Lorraine (8/5): Perfect spot to stop on Cabot trail - Had dinner. Lots of food. Reasonable prices
- Johnson (6/5): Outdated, but clean and decent location. - Location was pretty good for us based upon our plans. It was clean. I thought it was an average price for the area until we stayed, then I thought it was over priced. Breakfast was good. Very out dated, holes in the carpet, badly stained chairs, shower didn’t work at first. Tv remote didn’t work. Pretty expensive for non-included breakfast.
- Marie-Josée (8/5): - Personnel très sympathique, excellente salade César

- STEPHEN (8/5): Will stay again. - Had a great dinner at motel...fish cakes and beans!
- Rodney (6/5): Ok for a night. - Decent motel style with great view of Bras D’or Lake but the bathroom was a little sketchy as the hot water turned off in the middle of my shower. The bed was soft but that’s not my preference. Service was great in the restaurant.
- Yvon (7/5): Pratique mais pas inoubliable - L’équipement des chalets est ancien : salle de bain petite, mauvais éclairage, électricité pas aux normes
- Marina Riad (8/5): - Amazing view and location
- David (10/5): -
- Dennis (6/5): An adequate place to stay for a short visit. The view of the lake from the balcony is excellent. - Very friendly staff. It had an outside porch / balcony with a nice view of the lake. It was very clean. Beds were comfortable. Size was small but adequate. It had a musty smell. The walls are very thin and the sound of normal conversation can be heard from the adjoining room. Bathroom was small with insufficient counter space. The bathroom door would not latch because the latch needed repair.
- Brian (8/5): - Good location. Very nice staff. I would recommend this motel.
- geoffrey (8/5): Good motel with Great Lake views. - Our room had a great view of the lake, with chairs outside on the patio. Plenty of space and clean and comfortable. The restaurant on site served a great breakfast but at extra cost. The AC unit was old and noisy so we decided not to use it and to open the door instead. The temperature was fine but the noise of the traffic kept us awake.
- Adithya (10/5): - Lovely well maintained property. The staff are very polite and friendly.
Beautiful view overlooking the waterfront.
Happy with over stay.
- Simon (10/5): -
- Jocelyne (9/5): Bel endroit - Situation près de Baddeck.
Vue sur le lac Tapis dans les chambres. Désuet.
- Cal (10/5): - Older but well upkept motel, with restaurant and a great view overlooking the water.
- Bedard (6/5): - L'emplacement, pas loin de la cabot trail Que nous avions réservé 4 chambres identiques côté à côté et les prix étaient différents, 149$ par personne pour 2 chambres, 159$ par personne pour 1 chambre et 169$ par personne pour une autre chambre. Nous étions 2 par chambre.
- Ted (4/5): Very upsetting since we had prior approval as we told them we were travelling with our E - The view We travel with an emotional support dog that is 5 lbs, 15 years old, non-shedding and hypoallergenic. We booked our room and advised them of the above, our travelling companion. I received verification that or dog would be welcome with no additional fee. Upon our arrival they advised we couldn’t stay in the room we booked with a queen size bed. They commented on the cheap rate we got and put us in an older room with two double beds. We were advised our dog (who stays in a small canvas carrier that we were not allowed in the restaurant. The only time this has happened so far on our trip to the eastern provinces.
