The toilet seat in the bathroom was broken on one side. The shower tap had a screw sticking out and the water pressure was low. The shower curtain wouldn’t stay closed properly. The tv stopped working so they had to send someone up to fix it. No kleenex in the room and we found a big bug in the bed. We paid $100 more than we normally do and the room was certainly not worth it. We would not recommend it!

Stayed one night stay, nice hotel, slightly dated. The rooms were spacious and clean. Pool was nice but water was cold. There was a restaurant attached, concerning about safety for hotel guests, since it seems to be open to all.

Our stay at Maritime Inn Port Hawkesbury had a few positives, the room itself was clean, and parking was convenient. That is where the highlights ended for us. The property feels quite dated and shows signs of limited maintenance. We did not get a ground‑floor room during our rainy arrival. There is no elevator in the building, which made carrying luggage up the stairs very challenging in wet weather. For guests with mobility concerns or heavy bags, this is an important point to note. We found the value for money disappointing for the nightly rate. Breakfast was not included, and basic in‑room supplies such as facial tissue were very limited. While the location is handy before driving the Cabot Trail, we would not recommend this hotel for travellers who have difficulty with stairs.

When checking in we realized that we would be on the second floor. With knee issues it was a concern and there is no elevator. The manager kindly took one of our large suitcases to our room. Carpeting in the corridors and on the stairs is old and dirty and had not been vacuumed. Reception and rooms have been upgraded and were clean. We had an issue with the tub draining slow and maintenance resolved the problem immediately. Definitely would stay there again in a ground floor room. The restaurant is attached to the Inn, which was very convenient.

I booked this hotel through Expedia because it was clearly listed as pet-friendly. I arrived with my dog, checked in without issue, and stayed for one night. The following day, I was informed that the hotel does not allow pets and was asked to leave. I explained that Expedia had specifically filtered and presented the property as pet-friendly, which was the reason I booked it. Unfortunately, I found the staff’s response dismissive and unprofessional, and the call was ultimately ended abruptly. To make matters worse, my credit card was later charged an additional $250 cleaning fee related to having the dog in the room. Given that I booked the property based on its pet-friendly listing, I believe this charge is unreasonable and the entire experience was extremely disappointing. Travellers with pets should confirm the hotel’s policy directly before booking, regardless of how the property is listed on Expedia.
