Yes it wasn't an updated room we were checked into, but it was last minute and I just wanted a place to rest for the night. The room we got was huge and pretty clean so I was happy about that. Had a good meal even though it was late in the evening, was nice the restaurant was open so... More

The title says it all. We were looking for a place to stay and having no luck. The trip was a last minute impulse. The rooms were terrible. Damp, old, sheets had holes. My skin crawled all night and needless to say we didn't stay for breakfast. More

We stayed here on a trip to Cape Breton Island. The first room was used and not clean. The second non smoking room had been used by smokers and an attempt had been made to cover the smell with spray. It was impossible to breathe in said room so we asked for a third. This room was just OK. Aged... More

We booked this hotel through expedia for a quick overnight stop on our road trip. This place was horrid. We asked for a non-smoking room but our room stank of cigarette smoke. The room was filthy, the bathroom looked like it hadn't been cleaned in years. Besides the flat screen tv, nothing in the hotel has been updated since the... More

This was the grossest place I have ever stayed. My 13 year old commented that it looked like a place people rent to have sex. I could go on and on, but I would would sleep on a park bench before I stayed here again. We were up all night with partying and woke up to our motorcycle and the... More

From the Rooms to the most ignorant housekeepers ever, to the smell and dirt of the place you would be better staying in a hostel.It was the worst room i have ever been in .We will never return and i hope noone else has the misfortune of staying there either.Looks like a converted crack shack.

The outside door leaked cold air, we had to place the mini fridge, towels and pillows to help stop the air flow. When we reported the problem, they provided us with a portable heater. Even with the heater running all night it was only 66 by the morning. Even the girl at the front desk was wearing gloves to keep... More
