Room and view were good but would’ve been better if the room had a fridge, microwave or blackout curtains. Otherwise everything was good especially parking right outside the room.

Clean room , awesome staff and nice maintained property. I would suggest some shelving in the bathroom and a towel ring for the hand towel. A hanging bar and some hangers to hang your clothes would also be nice.

My partner and I had a wonderful stay at Mountain View Motel & Cottages in Pleasant Bay. The location is fantastic, offering beautiful views and easy access to Cape Breton Highlands National Park, hiking trails, whale watching, and the scenic Cabot Trail. It was the perfect place to relax and enjoy the natural beauty of the area. Our room was clean, comfortable, and well maintained. We appreciated the quiet atmosphere and the peaceful surroundings after a day of exploring. The staff 👍 were friendly and welcoming, making us feel right at home. There was very little to dislike. The property is more rustic than a modern hotel, but that fits perfectly with the charm and character of Pleasant Bay. Guests looking for a luxury resort experience should keep that in mind.

There was no fridge and no microwave. Since we were travelling for many days, it would have been very useful to have it.
