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 Overall the room was very outdated !!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 ?!

Water front was beautiful but with it comes bugs. 2 towels daily for 3 people was annoying as there are no phones in room, you must walk to front desk. Beds were comfortable, tv needs upgrade. Breakfast included was very nice. Ample parking. Noise from highway may bother some people.

Not What We Remembered

This is a motel on a very nice location but needs help. Our view of the water was excellent. Unfortunately just our part of the wood deck was not redone so not great for sitting.. The room was reasonably comfortable although water pressure was quite bad in the shower. The shower faucet was also hard to use and offered little control of temperature. Breakfast was ok other than the "bacon". Im not sure what the price difference is but next time i would probably look to the inns in Baddeck. I think with some TLC the Trailsman could be a nice little motel.
