Great location, clean and comfortable rooms, restaurant on site, and staff were helpful and friendly.
No problems at all.
Location was great, staff was wonderful
Needs some upgrades, could be cleaner.
Did not stay for breakfast..had to leave at 6:00AM...dining hall not open til 7:00AM.
Both were good,
Server spent too much time chatting with another party before seating me. Have a sign to "seat yourself."
The location is perfect, close to everything. The meals in the restaurant were hot and delicious and the staff were excellent.
You need better chairs in the room. And there was a bad draft at the door.
Ratings are misleading.
Rooms are dated ours was not clean.
Staff was pleasant and location was convenient to the ferry
The beds were awful. Bathroom was dirty. The restaurant was out of everything we asked for.
Clean, decent and friendly staff and close to superstore and food chains.
Clean, friendly. They allow pets. Reasonably priced
Close to everything. Having a good restaurant on site.
We did run out of hot water while showering
The rooms were exceptionally clean especially the bathrooms, the restaurant put out beautiful cooking and everything was totally pleasant. Was not expecting the service that these people are giving it was a total win!!!
everything is good. Friendly staff, good and clean room.
The restaurant was good and was pleasant after a long day of travelling. The staff was friendly and the food was great. The location being close to the ferry turned out to be great as we had to leave quickly in order to get an early crossing.
Large Greenspace for our dog.Restaurant right at the Motel.It was excellent. Staff also were very welcoming
A little older but was very clean
Breakfast was well cooked, very friendly staff.. Would recommend the Motel to anybody.The supper was great, fast & friendly service,. The rooms were clean, comfy bed, wifi was fast.Will definately stay there when we travel to Cape Breton.
I didn't see anything that I was disappointed with
