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.

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 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...
