I stayed at your motel in room 4 this weekend (oct 27 to 29) and 1. Safety. The door window does not lock. Brought to owners attention. He put a 1 inch square piece of stick in the track. He said there was no point fixing it because it keeps breaking. 2. Heat. I froze! I could not get the heat to work. I had to bring my own blanket in because there were no spare blankets in the closet. When I did get the heat to work it was too hot. Sauna hot. thermostats must be from the 50s. 3. Tub mats are moldy, cracked and very old. It is so gross. Tub had a 3/4" sized hole in the upper back side. He said he put a rubber duckie on it to hide it but some kid took it. 4. Bed: Lumpy, very uncomfortable, feels like it will fall apart. What is with the hand cuff handles on the head board. Creeped me out. Bed smelled like pee. And i woke with bug bites..... also flying bugs in room...ew. 5. Plugs: no bedside table phone to call for help if needed, no access to a wall plug for cell phone recharging . I felt uncomfortable having my phone closer to the door than me. As a woman travelling alone, having the phone beside me is very comforting. The plugs behind the headboard were inaccessible. 6. Water : none to drink. Water from tap was brown. No bottled water or access to a local store for same. 30 minute drive to store. 7. Satellite tv: very few channels worked. Kept saying not included in plan. Nothing to watch. Cell reception too weak for data. Manager no where to be found at checkout

Quick stay at St Ann's Motel, but the views were incredible, the bed comfortable and the hosts very nice. They gave us places to eat, and suggested activities to do on a very rainy day! Would recommend to anyone!

St Ann’s is Taking Care of You!!
Great location, very comfortable and impeccably clean room at the waters edge. The views of the bay are fantastic. The owner was very friendly and informative and shows that she truly cares for her guests. She volunteered great information for area attractions and restaurants all around the Cabot Trail. Nice sea food restaurant right next door. We stayed two nights and highly recommend this motel to anyone with highest of standards and expectations. This is an example of what the authentic Cabot Trail hospitality is all about. We WILL be back. Thank you Tina!

Paul, you have certainly ended my day on such a beautiful note with your words! We truly do put everything we have into your reservation and not just as a guest sleeping here but also as a person on a memorable vacation looking to do new things and see more than expected. It's so heartwarming to hear that we've exceeded your expectations and we promise to continue to do so for the next time we meet.Have a great rest of the summer!

Stayed 1 night in Jun 2023
Response from Tina on 8 Jul 2023
Thanks for much for the kind words.The wifi has been an issue on & off for a couple of weeks. Sadly, no one in the center of the village of Baddeck (including all stores, gas, etc) had any access to wifi for 2 days because of an accident that required emergency construction for restoration. We, on the other hand, had had perfect wifi for those 2 days... So it seems it's the one thing that can never be controlled or promised and can be at its best or non existence depending on the location, on going construction, accidents, bad weather or a number of reasons. We thank you for having patience while you used our wifi service during your stay. I've been patiently waiting for 2+ yrs for high speed fibre. That'll definitely improve the latency and the spotty service.Enjoy the rest of your vacation and summer and a safe trip home!

Thank you Douglas!I cannot stress it enough just how much these kind words feel at the end of a long day making sure every square inch of your room is given attention and to ensure each guest is treated with the utmost care and respect. We try to throw in a little humour too When guests take the time to leave a review or a comment or a combination of and I am able to sit down at the very end of the night, it sincerely makes the hardest parts of the job worth every bit!

Wunderschöne Aussicht auf den See und direkt am Cabot Trail. Leider gibt es in der Nähe keine Möglichkeit zu frühstücken und man muss mindestens eine halbe Stunde fahren, bis man etwas zu essen bekommt. Abends gibt es ein Restaurant direkt daneben.
