Nice little spot. Well kept.
Quiet and comfortable. The restaurant had good service and good food. We found the hotel rate was $20 cheaper than the rate we paid on Hotels.com. The clerk at the desk upgraded us slightly because of this and put us in one of the rooms at the very front.

The front desk and servers in the restaurant were very nice. Unfortunately the room was very tired and in need of updating. The room was very small, the mattress wasn’t comfortable, the pillows were super flat and cheap. It did have a very nice view of the lake across the street. Would look for nicer lodging next time.

Service CRC was extremely slow in the restaraunt. Over an hour wait for breakfast. Dinner was disappointing especially the fish cakes and beans, fish cakes were mostly potato and $21 for about $3 of food and as a shock cl. Rooms are comfortable but dated. However, the property and hospitality were exceptional and I would probably stay there again, but not eat there

Clean, a bit run down, good for one night stop. The view from room was nice, but huge spiders on the patio railing kept me in the room. Check in/out fast and professional.

Nice property. Staff was really friendly and helpful. Food at the restaurant was delicious. Pool was clean. Rooms were well used and dated but it did not affect our stay. We had a great stay. Recommended for short stays. This was our last stay driving around the Cabot Trail.

Happy to have had an opportunity to stay in a room with more direct view of water. Thank you Marlene! Loved the view of the water & also the chairs on the deck outside our room where we could sit outside. A great feature! Enjoyed dinner in the restaurant with good food & excellent service. The ‘poor boy’ dessert was delicious and after our drive along the Cabot Trail, it was great to relax and not have to drive to a restaurant. Room was comfortable and we slept well. Great assortment of pillows in fact the best of our trip to Nova Scotia so far!

This motel offers a beautiful view of the lake. I am guessing the motel is a few decades old and it feels like you are stepping back to the 1970s or 80s when you enter your room. This hotel is well-maintained.
