Great food at the attached Frolic N’Folk restaurant. The rooms were clean and the air conditioning worked well. Great view from the room’s balcony. It was our second time there and we will go again and recommend to our friends.

Great spot in Cape Breton

Great location. Friendly staff. Nice room with beautiful view. The only problems are smelly bathroom and filthy floor because people walk in with shoes on.

10/10 Exceptional

Incredible view from all rooms, friendly staff and lively pub/restaurant on site. Easy access to all rooms, even those on upper level (I had balcony level and just rolled my suitcase in from my parking spot). Sitting outside on my balcony as the sun set over the lake was special.
