The waterfront location is praised for scenic views and easy access to the Fortress of Louisbourg and the lighthouse. Recurring drawbacks include some dated or noisy bathrooms, light from exterior fixtures affecting sleep, and occasional noise between rooms or from equipment. A few guests mention a premium price, narrow stairs and gravel paths, limited outdoor seating, and rare service lapses in the restaurant. Expect a scenic, boutique stay with personal hospitality in a quiet coastal setting.

The North Star Beach Suites is an absolutely fantastic place to stay! The rooms are perfect, very nicely furnished and with amazing views of the beach. Dinner in their on-site restaurant, The Bothy, was delicious, a truly memorable experience with Colin, one of the hosts, even joining the band for a beautiful song. Our only regret was we only stayed for one night!

What a wonderful stay we had at this beautiful place! Our room was beautifully decorated and lovely and clean with everything we needed for a comfortable nights rest. We had booked a table at The Bothy prior to our stay and we were so pleased we did as it was very busy! A singer and guitarist played all evening and the food was exceptional, what a great place! Breakfast was excellent and set us up for the day! Thank you to our Scottish now Nova Scotian hosts....if we are ever in this beautiful part of the world we will definitely be back!

I had an ocean view unit with abalcony on the second floor. I was able to sit out and watch the harbour down to the Fortress while sipping on my drink. All the amenities and the layout of the room were excellent. I didn't mind paying a total of $410.00 for the stay including a bowl of chowder but I was alittle put off but being prompted to leave a tip up to twenty percent. I have neverencountered this at a hotel before and seemed a little much.

Reasonable accommodations but at an exorbitant price. Paid ~$100 more per night to stay here than other far nicer places on a 10 day tour. Bath didn't drain properly, fridge and heat pump unit were both loud. Minimal view from the room itself to the ocean (small window, people often walking by in front, small deck etc). Also was not aware at the time of booking I'd be placed on a ground floor unit (2 story building, poor sound insulation). All of this was further compounded by somewhat poor service in the restaurant, which although voted as 'quite nice' in many other reviews, is perhaps better described as 'quirky nice'. It is a steel arch garage-style building but nicely decorated and the food was decent. The more unfortunate aspect of the entire stay was the drunken business owner who forced me to point out waitresses involved in less than ideal service, and launched a repetitive diatribe about how I myself failed in upholding a 'social contract' that should have seen me somehow better express our unhappiness in a way that might lead to resolution. All this, as in wishing to leave, my wife and I had approached the hostess desk to request our bill. I briefly tried to discuss the issue amicably with the owner, but it became clear quickly that there would be no use in further discussion given his inebriated state (I was server when young, now a physician). We left feeling terrible for both of our waitresses (having two was likely the source of our being honestly overlooked).

Big room with great room design and amenities. In non-ocean view, unable to get room dark due to yard lights overpowering white wooden shutters. Fan in bathroom very noisy. Noise from other rooms is easily heard. Would stay again but recommend you book ocean side and bring ear plugs to get a good night sleep.

The North Star Beach Suites is an absolutely fantastic place to stay! The rooms are perfect, very nicely furnished and with amazing views of the beach. Dinner in their on-site restaurant, The Bothy, was delicious, a truly memorable experience with Colin, one of the hosts, even joining the band for a beautiful song. Our only regret was we only stayed for one night!

We had a beautiful ocean view room. Friendly courteous staff. Off the charts hospitable . The room itself surpassed all our expectations. Big , comfortable, had kitchenette , amazing sunrise from our room. The restaurant had excellent food choices and the quality was impressive. The drink selections were impressive and to top it off they had live music . We ate breakfast and dinner at the property . I can’t say enough about the place. Everything from check in to check out was super. We will return .

Our room was nice and comfortable with thoughtful amenities to make our stay enjoyable. Second floor stairs were challenging to bring large suitcases up for the stay. Parking lot lights were bright and shinned in through the windows. Tipping is pushed both in the room with housekeeping and as you check out with the total room bill. You were not given an option to opt out of a tip.

Perfect. Perfect. Perfect. Beautiful room. We chose one with a kitchenette & ocean view. Cute balcony with bistro table and chairs overlooking the ocean to have coffee, tea or wine. Comfy bed & lovely decor. We fell asleep to the sounds of the waves. Calm & soothing for the soul. The hosts were fabulous. The restaurant was amazing. So delicious & very reasonably priced. Such a gem!

Clean room, nice location (right near Louisbourgh fortress), quiet, restaurants on site, tasteful beach-inspired decor, spacious room, friendly &helpful staff. Very firm bed. Very small bathroom mirror - hard for shorter people to apply makeup. Our room included dishes, cutlery, microwave, kettle, coffeemaker, bar fridge.
