Nice clean motel
The room was so clean clean I should have taken pictures. The furniture and lighting are good, the refrigerator has room for more than just a six pack, which is good. Love the water pressure in the shower. The view from the front door is very nice.

We loved this place, we went there to visit different places around it most of the time, but if you just want to stay there and enjoy the hotel and surroundings, that's also a great place for.

Solid Stay!
Located right before the start of the Cabot Trail, this is a good place to stay before heading off to either the Cheticamp side or Ingonish side of the road trip. About the stay; the Manager and staff were incredibly welcoming and friendly, the room was clean, and the shower was great. The pillows and the bed were so-so and the kettle in our room looked a bit rusty, but otherwise the room was comfortable. Sleep was overall good. The room got very dark with the blackout curtains and noise cancelling between rooms was excellent. However, the air conditioning was very loud (low-pitched, rumbly noises) and the alarm clock occasionally made static noises.

The motel was very comfortable. View of the water from the front. It was a distance away from restaurants, but we found a good take out and got a burger to take back to the motel. There were 2 friendly labs on the property that watched over everyone.

Room was very clean and a good large size for travel with kids. Nothing around the property or close to go much food. Older property, but looks like they are trying to renovate to make it newer.

Clean. Powerful shower, which was great. The room was a bit dim and there were no surfaces or hooks on which to put things in the bathroom or elsewhere. The check in folks were easy and friendly.

Best sleep
Fantastic room, with lots of fresh air and a nice little kitchenette. The bed was comfortable and we had our first good sleep after a week for travels. The front staff was fantastic and accommodated a slightly earlier check in. Location was fantastic as we weren't right off the highway, but a bit higher up.
