Our room had a wonderful view of the water. This is an older hotel but is kept clean with decent beds. Not super sound proof but we felt we got value for the dollar. A clean room and comfortable beds.

The view, location, and staff were amazing! We had a one night stay here in Baddeck after exploring Cape Breton National Park and it was such a perfect place to stay. I would 100% come back and recommend to others.

The view from the East block room, and the chairs outside so we could enjoy it, were appreciated. Very comfortable beds and soft towels. However the place looked a bit tired and a musty smell permeated the room and hallway. Tub drain slow.
