The innkeeper tried to pass off that charm to her guests by instructing visitors only to unload their "carriages" and then relocate them to the side of the building. Unfortunately, the Kay visitors were late, loud, and inconsiderate and beamed their lanterns into our lower unit late at night and left their Cadillac of carriages parked, blocking our ocean view. To make matters worse, they were heavy-footed beasts and clomping around above us at midnight, but then when you're so "entitled", you probably don't GaF. The room was quaint but the beds inside are not the same. One is a platform bed with a better quality mattress. It was in the kitchen area. No matter how odd that may seem, choose that bed. It's better than the lower to ground, weak mattress one we slept on! Not all of the outlets worked and instructions for the shower are necessary and can be found only if you look up!! Now the really odd thing about Room 6 was the ONE WAY mirror in the room with blinds. Perhaps this allows the voyeur-side of you to feel like someone is watching you -- Norman Bates-ish if you ask em. For us it was a WTF moment. So that's my point of view. I'd probably rethink the higher price of stay for oddities (and no ghosts).

When we checked in we were greeted with warmth and helped quickly, lots of hospitality points for this place! We snuck over to the back around 6 pm to check out what they call the 'Beggar's Banquet' -- a sort of feast they host in the evenings where everyone dresses in colonial gear. We're talking full costumes, which I think they provide, but don't quote me on that. The event really goes with the atmosphere of the town, especially if you spent the whole day walking around the fortress, which is basically a giant reconstructed town from the 1700s and a colonial roleplayer's paradise. All-in-all a nice stay, much nicer than our first night in Baddeck!

This is one of the worst hotels we have stayed for our Maritime tour. If I could give 0 stars for…read morethis place, I would have. We were welcome by Donna (staff) and there's nothing welcoming about it. She hurriedly talks about the hotel info but it's more of a mundane task for her instead of being an enjoyable part of her job. Downsides: Accommodation -We were placed in a room that is dated, dingy and smells moldy/musty. -Floors have several stains in them (see pic) and the carpeted floors were uneven and makes squeaking/creaking noises when you walk on it. -We were informed that we have a waterfront view which is partly true. When you're in the lower level rooms, your view will be obstructed by trees /shrubs so it is very unlikely you will see a full view of the Bras d'Or Lake. -Outlet plugs were limited and situated in very hard to reach places. If you didn't bring a power bank, your electronic devices will be nowhere close to you. -Washroom is very small and taking a shower is very unpleasant since it's slower to drain and basically you're standing in water. Dining -Place is very remote, not a lot of places to dine and no shops close by. It will take you more than 20 mins to walk to the nearest restaurant and 5 to 10 mins by car. -That left you with no choice but to dine in their restaurant called McCurdy Dining Room that has limited choice of menus. Food is mediocre and very expensive for a rural place. Seafood chowder is watered down, not a lot of seafood in it and a little bit spicy. Their Seafood Pasta is bland and has more noodles than sauce/seafood. Same goes with their Chicken Parmesan Pasta. You also have to wait for a long time for your food as they're understaff and trying to accommodate more customers that they can handle. -Breakfast was included when we booked our room. It's a buffet style and you get the basic breakfast of eggs, sausage, toast, etc. Upside: Nothing good about this hotel and wouldn't even recommend this to my worst enemy!

We were lucky enough to stay at the Silver Dart Lodge in Cape Breton. What a wonderful location. Overlooking the the lake, and each room has a small patio and chairs to sit and enjoy the views. The folks at this lodge were so friendly and helpful as well. East coast friendliness is definitely evident here! :) Beds were comfy and rooms were well appointed. Separate sink area from the shower/toilet room. Ample closet space. 2 comfy chairs to watch a flat panel tv and free wifi. This hotel also has a great dining room and is not far from downtown Baddeck and other attractions like the Alexander Graham Bell museum.
