What guests think

Maritime Inn Port Hawkesbury is a convenient stop for Cape Breton travelers, with many guests praising friendly staff, comfortable beds, and the popular on site restaurant, while overall value and practicality matter more than frills here.

The location is central and practical for road trips, close to shops and dining. Renovations have led to daytime construction noise, facility closures (especially the pool), and some rooms with covered windows; the lack of an elevator is a frequent inconvenience. Room quality varies from renovated and clean to dated with worn carpets, odors, or maintenance issues, and occasional road or corridor noise. Expect a straightforward, functional stay with standout dining and generally kind service.

Room was clean. Stay was fine. Hotel itself was a bit noisy and the pool is currently shut down which was not mentioned when booking. But it was not a bad stay. Close to amenities and the indian restaurant across the street "naan stop" is amazong food is soo good.

Not impressed with this hotel at all. John from the front desk was the only reason I am writing a review because he was excellent. It was not clean enough, we had an awful room placed in a basement level across from housekeeping main room and where the doors to a restaurant led to the hotel, so it was very noisy.

The staff was amazing, super helpful and very welcoming! Bed was comfortable and the room was nice A few hair on the bathroom’s floor and a very noisy fridge (especially during the night) are the only negative points, but we’ll still recommend the Inn for our friends and family visiting the area!

Dining room downstairs is the best option in town. Very good food. Make reservation on arrival for dinner, as the local residents also eat here. The lobby is under renovation, but no difficulties. Many rooms face the street; we didn’t hear street noise, but is a possibility.

The rooms 117 and 119 that we were allocated were mediocre for the price of 198$ that we paid. As a 4-star hotel, was expecting good quality hotel, instead the rooms smelled like damp. The bed was comfortable, amenities were just OK! We were only there was a night, checked in after 10pm and checked out next day. I would not stay again if we visit Port Hawkesbury again.

Hotel was undergoing renovations which reduced the ease of movement. In addition, room windows were totally covered with plastic so rooms felt claustrophobic. The hotel has no elevator which complicated things further. A bright spot was the restaurant attached to the hotel served great food.

Friendly staff. Very comfortable beds. Nice and clean. Even though a hockey team and a wedding party were booked in at the same time as us, the staff guaranteed that noise after 10 wouldn't be acceptable. They even had security working to ensure the rules were abided by. Cheap VTech portable phone in room didn't work. Called front desk from my cell to report, but it was never replaced. Minor issue. We'd stay here again.
