This is a gem of a hotel! The breakfast was awesome. It's conveniently located to drive to Halifax or Peggy's Cove. We traveled with our dog and loved the little green space with picnic tables behind the hotel right on chocolate lake! We would definitely stay here again!

There were very unruly guests next door and nothing was done for 2 hours. It was loud, unpredictable bangs against our walls. It was very unsettling for my daughter and I. I called the front desk and was told security was going.
