Note that this review concerns the housekeeping accommodation, not the conventional motel rooms. The location of the motel is good, both in relation to the view across the bay and to the ability to reach the national park or central/east of Cape Breton Island. There is some traffic noise from the main road but it is not too intrusive. The... More

I stumbled upon this gem during a 14000 km, 7 week tour of the Maritime/Atlantic provinces, while on my way to Baddeck. I travelled the Cabot Trail in both directions, and returned to spend another night here before I left Cape Breton. I rarely did this...and I stayed at over 50 hotels and inns during the trip. This motel is... More

this hotel is located at the foot of Kelly's Mountain and at one entrance to the Cabot Trail. close to the highway wasn't an issue as I had first anticipated , but not a sound was heard. great service - excellent value - perfect location

The owner of the motel was wonderful- was right there if you needed anything or had any questions. The room was spacious and clean, the bed comfortable, and the view out the window was awesome. It was a good location for driving the Cabot Trail, or to drive around the lake. Only negative was that the road beside the motel... More

There are several things I love about the motel. The rooms are basic but are clean and comfortable. The owners, Doug and Chris,... More

The room included a fridge, a blow dryer, coffee maker, tv. We easily accessed WIFI from our room (can't speak to the other rooms). No air conditioning (there is a quiet... More

We spent one night in July at St Ann's prior to driving the Cabot Trail. The rooms are very basic, no air conditioning but there was a fan, there is a fridge but no shampoo or conditioner. It is a small motel but is situated on a lake with an incredible view out the window. The rooms are very clean... More

Having not enough people to do the late afternoon puffin boat tour, we stopped at St Anne's Motel to not have to get up early to drive a distance for our 9:30am reserved puffin tour tomorrow. From outside the little highway motel for $109/night didn't seem to be worth it til the very pleasant owner opened the door to the... More

Operated by a very friendly couple, this is a great place for a quiet sleep and a wonderful view of the water. Next to a place with basic but very good food open late and early for convenience. The Gaelic College is nearby with entertainment frequently. Operators of Motel are knowledgeable of the area and very helpful.
