Ok in a pinch

The motel is ok. The room is dated with an uncomfortable bed. Breakfast was all starch, no yogurt or fruit.

A good place to stay if visiting the Louisbourg Fortress national site. Staff here were extremely helpful with some additional needs unrelated to the motel stay.
Silvanus, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We had such a relaxing time at this inn. We wanted to upgrade to a family suite to be able to cook and relax with our new puppy and they accommodated Us. They also are very pet friendly and the staff is amazing. Walkable to the cutest little shops and restaurants. Plus the water view was amazing.
Carolann, 2-night trip

4/10 Fair

Convenient location, near Louisbourg National Historic Site. I appreciate the staff accompanying our late arrival.
Cindy, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

The room was fairly “basic” in most respects, but quite adequate for the price paid. The one thing I was REALLY impressed by was the quality of customer service displayed by the front desk staff, who were super-friendly, and went out of their way to help me on several occasions (most notably, obtaining a drive back to Sydney when my original ride fell through) … impressed me very much!
David, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

The customer service is very good. The motel was clean but it is aged but the price is reflective of the motel.
