Terrible Experience – Would Never Stay Here Again. From the moment we arrived, our experience at this hotel was disappointing. The receptionist made us extremely uncomfortable by asking, “Which part of India are you from?” which was completely inappropriate and unnecessary question. When we clarified that we are not from India, his tone and attitude changed noticeably, which felt very disrespectful and unprofessional. The room itself was in terrible condition. There were bugs flying around everywhere, the refrigerator didn’t work, and later that night we discovered it was leaking; the floor was soaked and I actually slipped while going to the washroom. To make matters worse, the air conditioner made a constant loud, rattling noise all night, making it impossible to sleep properly. On top of that, there were no basic amenities like hand soap, toothbrushes or toothpaste provided. Overall, it was one of the worst hotel experiences I’ve ever had. Poor service, unhygienic room conditions and unwelcoming staff. I would strongly recommend avoiding this place.

We had a nice stay while we explored Cape Breton over 4 days. Rooms were clean and comfortable. Breakfast was ok but you weren’t allowed to take a plate to your room, not sure why. Sometimes the breakfast room was very busy so I would have appreciated being able to take a plate to my room. Other hotels provide a tray for you to do that. No microwave in room but one was available in the common area.

Staff in the front desk or in the office it's hard to talk to. He is not approachable honestly. We booked as early of July to make it sure we have nice and comfy room. But he gave us the older room and it is at the back of the lodge no separate parking. Even the fridge you can't put your food looks dirty. The room is no.59 we go call him and I said we cant stay here we want a comfortable room since we book early and we are 2 nights there. He said we don't have room. He kept me waiting. I said I want room in-front of your lodge the one that posted in your account. Thats why I booked here beacuse you have a cozy and comfy room.so he gave me no.6 room it is a big different to the room no. 59. Looks that guy is racist. Sorry to say but thats what we feel.
