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 Overall the room was very outdated !!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 ?!
