The room was very clean. Staff were friendly and professional. There was no hot water in the morning to take a shower. My husband and I had to take cold showers. Communication to hotel guests didn’t happen until approximately 9:00 am, from what it appears, happened as a result of guests complaining.

The front desk staff is very responsive. However, the property is old, the bathroom door won't close without pushing hard with our body weight, the boiler didn't work on the morning we had to leave so it was cold water wash up only. The place needs maintenance and refurbishing.

We stayed here for one night last week during our roadtrip through Nova Scotia. Unfortunately, a few days later, our car broke down and we had to have it towed back to Halifax and checked in for another three night stay at this property. We are grateful for the friendly staff, the great breakfast options, and the outdoor area overlooking the lake (perfect for our four-legged friend). We certainly didn’t expect to come back to this hotel so soon but, given the circumstances, it’s a good place to be stranded for a couple days.
