What a great motel. We stayed on the upper level of the site and it was great. Nice view of the lake, the room was spacious and clean. Would definitely recommend.
Lorena, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

We had a great stay at the Cabot Trail Motel. Kids loved the outdoor pool, deck, restaurant and that the car was right outside the door. Staff was very pleasant. Rooms were clean and comfortable. Less than 5 minutes to the town with lots of shopping options and close to the Cabot Trail of course.

10/10 Excellent

This property is in a convenient location to the Cabot Trail. Owner and staff are very attentive. The area lost power for a few hours and the owner gave us her reservation at a restaurant down the street that had a generator. So we enjoyed a wonderful meal and she stayed at the motel to attend to guests. We had a delicious breakfast at the restaurant at the motel before heading out to the Cabot Trail. If we are in the area in the future we wil definitely stay here again!

Staff was super nice.The room we stayed in was very out dated and moldy. The bathroom had a bad smell, clogged bathtub and leaking faucet.
Yiqian, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

This was our second stay at the Cabot Trail Motel. We find the rooms very clean and well kept. The view of the lake from the room adds a nice touch. The staff were excellent when we had to leave early due to a family emergency back home. While our stay was short this year, we will be coming back.

Nice view of the lake. Room was adequate. Price was right. Food was good. Staff was awesome!! Checking in was pleasant and efficient. Server at breakfast and dinner was exceptional. She had a smile on her face at all times and treated everyone like family. Checking out was easy and the gal recommended a good book about Alexander and Mabel Bell. Very nice staff who seem to take pride in this motel. We enjoyed our stay.
Mike, 2-night trip

2/10 Terrible

Very angry. Expedia had our reservations cancelled then kept sending me notifications about checking-in, our stay, etc. Expedia better not be charging me for the two nights booked. Plus, the motel was disgusting.
Gale, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

A good place to stay, so close to capot trail and Baddek
Milad, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

The motel had a restaurant on its premises for breakfast and dinner. For both meals there was a good selection of entrees to choose from. From the back of the restaurant you have a good view of Bras d'Or Lake, a large salt water lake. There was plenty of free parking in front of the motel. On the negative side, my room (#21) had a very noisy bathroom fan.The problem was reported to maintenance and was promptly repaired. The bathtub was not accessible to mobility compromised people.
