Stayed here because it was the last room available in this area of Cape Breton. A little farther from Sydney than I would’ve wanted, but that’s not their goal. Facilities are very clean and shower was great! Easy parking and super convenient for golfing and skiing. Great mini condo with completely full kitchen. Nicer than my apartment!

Very happy with this find, that we booked a 2nd night. The only thing we found was that golf for non Cape Breton residents was expensive. I think that if you are staying at the hotel, golf should be the same rate as residents. Otherwise, it is a wonderful location to lay our heads from our travels as well as a good spot to call home base for a couple days.

I arrived after dark and had phoned for directions. I missed the symbol sign and was looking for the full name. Finding the chalet in the dark took a little extra time, knocking on B when I had A. A group of women were in the golf room collecting prizes. I did not know where to check in. Finally the person in the golf room stated check in was there and after everyone got their prizes I was able to check in. Chalet was lovely.

Great area. Friendly staff. However Expedia charged me an extra guest fee they couldn’t help me with. We got the wrong room. But was fixed. The big disappointment was no housekeeping!!! No beds were done no trash cleaning. Toilet kept running had to lift lid and play with chain to fix it. Also no breakfast included. Don’t think I’ll be coming back to this place.

We stayed for four days. On arrival the toilet did not work properly, kept running. Advised the front desk and no one ever came to fix it, we were told he wasn’t working. They were unable to understand the problem and never came to investigate. We had to take the top off the tank to stop the running. The bathroom sink was missing stopper. The curtains were inadequate to cover the windows at night. The restaurant served mediocre food. There is no breakfast unless you walk over to the golf area and get something there. No one ever came to clean the room or replenish supplies. Lack of hospitality was astounding for such a resort.
