The room was clean and had all the amenities described. Lovely view of Bras D'Or from the window or the chair just outside the room. Very cute dogs at the office

The room had a lovely view. You could walk about but not for din6, since it's on the highway and it is quite busy. Staff was wonderful. Great to be able to do laundry onsite.
