Perfect location, very polite staff. We stayed 3 days and were given fresh towels and extra supplies regularly. There is a restaurant on property that has great good and service. Each evening there was a live performance happening. The mattress provided in the room could have been more comfortable though. It felt extremely worn out and old. Overall we loved our stay here and will be coming back again.

It's a nice hotel in Pleasant Bay. Close the skyline trail which is most popular and beautiful trail in Cape Breton. We had dinner at the restaurant and it was nice. The room was clean. Not enough electrical outlet though. Staffs were very friendly and helpful.

Non secure room
The bathtub was stained and the wallpaper was coming off the walls. There was a large gap in the door so you could see outside. The exterior door randomly opened on its own. Did not feel comfortable sleeping there.
