Remember this is a motel, not a 4/5 star hotel but having said that, it was very clean, tidy, well maintained, with great helpful staff, in a fantastic location and with a superb restaurant serving both breakfast and evening meals, all at great prices, with quality food/service and plentiful. Don't hesitate to book this property.
Room needs updating but was absolutely clean and all functional. The view is beautiful here. Had breakfast at the onsite restaurant and it was very good. The restaurant has the best view. Ice machine outside by restaurant door. Would stay here again.
This is an older motel. If you want a great selection of TV channels, this isn't your place. The room we had was facing the Hwy, so I was fairly noisy during the day, but little traffic at night. The room we had was older, but very clean. It had what we needed. The staff was very friendly. Location is just outside of Baddeck.
The motel is very well kept. The double room was comfortable, very clean and spacious. We had dinner in the dining room which has a lovely were of the water. The food was well cooked, tasty and very reasonably priced priced.

The staff that received us that night was very nice and accommodating. The room is very clean but the smell is not pleasant. Maybe because it's has the aged over the years.
Even in the night, the moon shines thru the water. I wish i could have stayed here just even for a day...
My room was quaint and positioned nicely in the hill, offering a lovely view of the water below. The breakfast was generous and delicious. Very friendly staff!
Rainy and cold outside, but wonderful and cozy inside.
The staff are so friendly and welcoming. Food was great at the restaurant, best chicken sandwich I ever had, my husband had the fish cakes and he absolutely loved them.
