The room was fairly “basic” in most respects, but quite adequate for the price paid. The one thing I was REALLY impressed by was the quality of customer service displayed by the front desk staff, who were super-friendly, and went out of their way to help me on several occasions (most notably, obtaining a drive back to Sydney when my original ride fell through) … impressed me very much!

This place is old and rundown. The mattress was old and worn so very uncomfortable. Tried to speak to management prior to leaving our first day but gone by 11. We were going to ask if there was another room with a newer bed but we were gone all day so never had the chance. The rooms were dark little lighting. Lots of mold around the tub. Had to go looking for a hair dryer on the first day. We got in from the lady in housekeeping. She was very nice and helpful. We went for the continental breakfast but only on the first day. It wasn’t worth getting up for. I know the saying you get what you pay for. We will not be back.

We stayed here to be close to Fortress of Louisburg. The room was clean overall and presented as a standard motel room. The room was musty and the bathroom was outdated with mouldy caulking around the tub. The breakfast included burnt tasting percolated coffee, corn flakes/ rice crispies, premade egg patties, commercial bread, and sachets of peanut butter and jam as well as orange juice from concentrate. It was almost unpalatable and we would have preferred not to have been expecting any breakfast at all.

We stayed here one night. Rooms are generally clean, albeit a little dated. Decent size. There was a fridge and microwave in the room which was handy. The location is great for visiting the Louisberg fortress and the light house. the light house is a five min drive and the fortress entrance is 6 min drive. They do provide a breakfast. Nothing fancy. cereal and toast and what looked like powdered eggs. Parking is easy. the staff were friendly.

Overall it was passable for an inexpensive place to sleep. Breakfast was fine. My biggest complaint is that the unit we were in had a defective lock. It took me 10 minutes to figure out just how to wiggle the knob to make it lock.

Not up to date at all. Half the motel was unused and was storage for old furniture and such. Was really a hotel suited for the trades and fishermen. As their sign said “Only hotel in Louisburg”; But even so the cost was too much for what is was.

Squeaky mattress

I stayed in room 34. Needs a new bed. It was so uncomfortable and noisy. Every time I moved it squeaked so loud that it would wake my dog up. Made for 2 long nights.

We had such a relaxing time at this inn. We wanted to upgrade to a family suite to be able to cook and relax with our new puppy and they accommodated Us. They also are very pet friendly and the staff is amazing. Walkable to the cutest little shops and restaurants. Plus the water view was amazing.

We enjoyed our stay. The good rating was because the bed was not as comfortable. Fine for me but hard on my husbands bad back. Other than that it would rate excellent for me
