Not worth the money

We were not given the room we booked and payed for. None available was what we were told, but we would get it for our second night. Didn’t happen, the owner said he forgot, the clerk said the room wasn’t available. The second morning there was no water pressure, no one got to shower in the entire place. The room was somewhat renovated, but didn’t feel clean. And they didn’t clean it at all the second day. Gave us clean towels and that was it. Front desk had no comment and didn’t offer to have it cleaned. They wouldn’t give a printed receipt, said they would email it at 11 that morning. Three days later and still waiting. The breakfast was okay, but they don’t serve real bacon or sausages. The turkey bacon the first day tasted like cardboard and we still aren’t sure what the sausages were. We checked out a day early and was happy to pay a little more for a decent place. The best thing about this place is the view of the water, but the large trucks constantly on the highway right beside the hotel ruined the location. It’s less expensive than most hotels in the area and there’s a reason for that. My advice is pay a little more and get a decent place. These people don’t give a hoot about good service or integrity.

Great Place to Stay

We had a great experience staying at the Trailsman Lodge. We had a wonderful Lake view even with a last minute reservation. The room was very clean and the bed was very comfortable. Breakfast was included which was a great bonus and very yummy.

The setting is nice overlooking the lake and nice to have a back deck to sit out on. The room was not very clean and especially the bathroom. The tub was dirty and mold in areas. The property is right on the highway so noisy all night. There is no dining so you have to drive into Baddeck. Wished we would have stayed in Baddeck. Wouldn’t recommend this property.

Rooms were clean and well equipped. Breakfast was lacking options, if breakfast is until 9:30 there should still be food options available at 9am. Nice place for a roadside stay.

Staff were very nice and attentive to issues that could be resolved. Pool appeared out of order as water was green and slimy. It should be identified that pool was not operational prior to booking. Room heat was controlled by thermostat in hallway. Breakfast was hot and plentiful but poor quality sausage and eggs. Attempted to have shower but no water because I assume everyone was using it in other rooms. Grounds were mowed. Pop machine out of order and kids that seemed to live there were playing in ice machine. Tv channels almost unwatchable-lots of static. Not worth the cost!

The area behind the building was fantastic for relaxing. The substitute bacon for breakfast on our second day absolutely terrible. It didn’t taste like bacon and had the texture of cardboard. Please do not serve it to anyone.

Nice lakeside view. Comfortable beds. Need more hooks in bathroom. Had 2 chairs in the room plus a desk chair and long desk area. No place to put our big suutcases. 1 chair and office chair would be enough. Breakfast didn't start til 7:30, and therefore a rush of people at that time, as everyone wanted to get on the road. Needs to start at 7. Good breakfast options and nice dining room. Laundry facilities were awful. Water just triggled into the washing machines...had 2 of washers and 2 dryers. We used both. Took 2.5 hours to do 1 load each. Also the room needed a good cleaning. Didn't want to put our clean laundry on tables to fold.

The property is in a nice location by the lake. However , it’s time for the owner to invest some money in upgrades ! When you pay approx $. 200 a night you don’t expect dirt around the toilet and black around the moldings ! Also , there was a part missing from the shower making it difficult to turn on !! In addition , the shower curtain was soiled along the bottom with soap scum !! Overall the room was very outdated !! I’m not sure how there were so many high ratings ?!
