Victoria County Motels

A 14 room motel with a house attached to it. Motel is named after the mountain right across from the motel on the other side. The door to our room is a bit hard to open, needs a strong push to open it. We got Room #5. The room is spacious and smells a bit weird. The bathroom is an alright size. The windows are full length. There's wifi here, though the strength of the wifi gets weaker the farther you are away from the main reception area. There's only 3 light sources in the room, excluding the 1 light in the bathroom. It's rather dim. There's no AC, there's a fan in the room. The screen for the window is broken, so a huge bug got in. The walls are thin. You can hear the flush of the toilet and probably the sound of the shower too. While showering, the water kept on turning cool even though I had it turned on the hot water side. The toilet is broken. It won't flush. The bed is really hard. Great for people who like hard beds. Not great for people who can't sleep on hard beds. Everyone else slept alright. My back hurts. It's good that we only stayed here for 1 night. Staying for 1 night here is enough. Wouldn't recommend staying here any longer.

Our family found the Trailsman to be clean & well maintained. The staff were friendly, helpful & professional. The included breakfast was generous & well prepared. The grounds were well kept and the pool, though small, was convenient for families. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would recommend the Trailsman a great place to stay, while in the Baddeck area of Cape Breton.

This was a lovely historic building with a good location. The building itself and our room on the third floor was everything we had been led to expect. As an old building the climb to the top could be challenge for some, and we made sure not to haul our suitcases all the way up, but instead just unpacked the things we needed for one night. The room was clean and bright with uneven floors and a nice balcony. It was a bit noisy in the evening as every footstep in the hall could be heard I. The room but luckily most people went to bed fairly relatively early. It’s important to make reservations If you want to have dinner at the restaurant. We did so and very much enjoyed our meal. Only one small glitch was that the toilet in the bathroom made dripping or running noises that were a bit annoying. But the staff were very responsive the next morning and I trust they will have that fixed for the next guests. We love this hotel and would definitely stay here again. Given that we were on the third floor it would be nice to have a coffee maker in the room, but we also appreciated that Coffee was available at the reception desk in the morning. One interesting titbit of information was that Alexander Graham Bell and his wife stayed here back in the day And their room is still decorated in the fashion. It was at the time. It is room number one and we were lucky enough to be able to peak in and take a look at the room in the morning after the previous guests had checked out.
