Food options near the hotel are really good and not too extravagantly priced. The bed and sleeping arrangements restored us and made mornings better. We had our own car so travel was easy. The desk staff were very helpful and accommodating. The room maintenance was not terrible, but could have been more thorough. Moreover, the hotel is being renovated and it’s a good thing: it needs it. However, you can look out onto a section of Sydney Harbour from any room. Aldo, between all the small boats (motor or sail) and the massive cruise ships that visit the harbour, we sat and watched, captivated. Plus, the surrounding communities brought different cultural events to the town including a massive car rally. The welcoming nature of Cape Breton folk is so charming , we couldn’t help but love their hospitality.
