An older model, but very well kept. It was spotlessly clean, the bed and pillows were comfortable. Staff were friendly and very helpful. The reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is because there was no fridge, microwave, or coffee maker in the room.

It’s what you’d expect for the price point! The room itself was clean, including the towels and bedding. There was obvious signs of mold in the washroom though. Staff was friendly and the stay was good overall.

A good basic motel, but at this time of year, without dinner or breakfast. The Salty Girls diner, 15 minites walk away provided an evening meal. Breakfast was someway back up the highway.

This motel appears to have been built in the 1970s and not much has been done to the rooms since then. The bed sagged badly in the middle. The paint was peeling of the walls an ceiling. It is however the cheapest accommodation in Louisbourg, and the fortress at Louisbourg is well worth a visit.

The motel is very rundown, dated, overpriced, and needs a good cleaning. Advertised photos are not accurate. One entire wing appears to be boarded up.

I do not recommend this motel. There was mold in the washroom and refrigerator. The walls were peeling and stained. No services such as clean towels etc. The motel is in desperate need of renovations.
