The room was clean and tidy, and the air conditioning worked well - essential given the heat wave we drove into in the Maritimes. Bed was comfortable and the shower had decent pressure. The morning breakfast was simple but a good start to the day. Not fancy but a solid low cost option for the budget traveler. As for the location, it's a 10 minute drive to the Fort, and (if you need it) a laundromat just up the road. We didn't have too many interactions with the staff but they were always friendly and helpful.

This motel is dirty, there are dead bugs on the floor, the electrical outlets are not safe, there is garbage outside. This place is a disgrace to Louisbourg, Cape Breton and Nova Scotia.

Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
The room was clean and fine overall. Breakfast was a big letdown — no eggs, cheese, or sausages were offered. It was just peanut butter, jam, toast, some bland cereal, coffee, and orange juice. There was an empty electric rice pot, so we figured eggs and sausages were served earlier, but by the time we arrived, most guests didn’t get any. Honestly, this felt more like a basic motel than an inn.

It was a small inn but when it’s off season there is absolutely no options for breakfast. There is a pool table, darts and ping pong that kept us busy before turning in for the night. Pictures are deceiving.

We stayed 3 nights: at least there were furniture spaces for 2 suitcases -- but many safety concerns like bare electric wires on plug on bedside lamp. Step-in tub had no grab bars when showering, & short lucite rod on wall was already broken. Worst-- grimy bedspread not washed in a long time, & then just a sheet. No other bedding. Very over priced. We saw cheapest possible "amenities" (tiny dollar store bathmat) yet paying beyond top dollar room rate ($489. for 3 nights). Seasonal Temp staff were kindly trying to be helpful but without much training or experience.

I was there off-season, and this was probably the only option. There is a bar in the main building. The young man at the front desk was very helpful, but I believe he took cate of everything ny himself. Again, off-season.
