+Good location as home base for Cape Breton
−Welcomed to huge cobwebs and like 8 nig spiders by front door. Place had strongest smell of chlorox I've ever experienced. Couldn't air it out as screens had holes. Told front desk and they said the spiders just keep coming back and nothing to do (there really is) and acted surprised about the smell but did nothing. No other available places to stay so stuck. We weren't in main building but motel part so maybe main building better. I highly highly recommend finding somewhere else. Will never return. Terrible value fine awful experience sleeping there. Luckily gone most of time. Restaurant was decent with very nice staff but nothing remarkable

+Location near Alexander Graham Museum and excellent breakfast cafe across the street. Very gracious staff. Delicious dinner in lovely historic dining room served by charming waiter.

+It’s quirky and so lovely. Uneven wooden floors but that’s what makes it a special property. Everything is spotless and comfortable and we were lucky enough to be able to eat in their restaurant before it closed for the season. Food was so good.

“A lovely experience all around.”
+The location is stellar. Staff very helpful and friendly. Food in the restaurant was excellent. The hotel is lovely. The room was spotless.
−The room was quite compact. It would be beneficial to add hooks somewhere in the room as the closet’s accessible space is minimal.

“Wonderful location; exceptional dining; quarters small but comfortable”
+Walkable to the Baddeck waterfront, the grocery, and the Alexander Graham Bell historic site, this hotel's location can't be beat. The appearance and staff at the place are charming, warm, welcoming. Our dinner in the hotel restaurant was exceptionally delicious. (I would stay again just to experience the dining again!) In all of our encounters with staff we found them gracious and friendly.
−Our room, while comfortable, was very small, with one side of the bed flush with the wall so that one of us had to climb in and out. The ice receptacle was open with the dipper casually stored on top.
