Many in-room conveniences, like water kettle and mini fridge, plus free snacks and bubbly water. Also free laundry and hot tubs. Views from the front main house rooms. Bed was a touch too firm, but everything else was great.

Great location to the National park, view of water out our window, comfortable and clean room. We visited with two different housekeepers who were so friendly and knowledgeable. The only downside was the breakfast area, which was a grab and go—-yogurt and granola bars ( maybe something else) coffee and tea. There was a toaster but no bread.

Air con is very noisy, but road gets noisy early morning if you have windows open instead - the property supplies ear plugs which is a good effort

We stayed here on our way around the cabet trail, our room was clean and welcoming, with added touches like water, snacks, even a board game & books. We opted to stay in for the night and sat out on the decking as we were on the second floor we had a good view of the surrounding area & sea view. We had option of the jacuzzi. Before here we stayed in ingonish & i wish we would have stayed 2 nights here instead. I would recommend staying here for anyone staying in Cheticamps.

Property was next door to a school where we had tickets booked for a concert.Thevenue had comfortable seats ,was very enjoyable,mostly french music. We walked to and from our hotel.We went to a good family restaurant for breakfast, since there was no food served at the hotel. The restaurant was just across the street from the hotel.

It’s very strange and somewhat off putting to have no interaction with a human at check-in. If you’re going to call it a hotel then someone should be there when guests arrive. The room was comfortable, clean and well appointed, but the only person we met was a cleaning person who was borderline pushy about getting us out of the room.

It was impossible to sleep with the air conditioner running at night. The gargling sucking banging extremely loud sounds that the unit produced kept us awake entire night. We tried turning it off but the outside hot temperatures made it impossible.i strongly recommend that the owners replace this monster with a modern quiet unit to make the visitors experience polar to what it is right now. Checkout at 10 AM is way too early in my opinion. 11 AM is more common and much more convenient. I would ask to put visitors interests ahead of your own. Everything else was decent.
