The room was clean and the hotel has an excellent view as it sits high up on a hill. We saw a beautiful sunrise from our room. The owners were gracious and friendly. But the bathroom door and furniture were a little beat up.

The room was clean and bed was very comfortable. Bathroom was recently updated and beautiful. There were menus in our room but restaurant was not open. It's still off season and was a short drive to places to have breakfast. Loved the view and it was quiet. Would return again.

The room was clean and maintained with a comfortable bed. Front deskdesk staff were helpful and courteous. It was expensive for what we got after a couple weeks of travelling and having breakfast included it was a surprise that breakfast wasn’t included, and the room itself was quite a bit higher than what we had been paying.

Room was nice, not that big but was ok. Bed is comfortable. Shower water pressure was good. They renovated the room so no spoiled carpet on the floor. TV is a fire tv with all the apps and capable of playing from your iphone or ipad. Breakfast in the morning was good. Location is ok when you want to go to either Cheticamp or south to inverness.

Quite an old motel but there are renovations happening. Room very plain with a nice view, comfortable bed and a renovated bathroom. We paid $216.00 for 1 night but it’s probably only worth $150.00 max. Probably would not stay here again if in the area.
