8/10 Very Good

Nice place but Room #3 can hear alot of noise.
Stayed 2 nights in Room #3 and bed was very comfortable but room is very small. First night every guest walking down the stairs and loud talking from check out below the room downstairs woke me up but second night wore ear plugs and slept well. Excellent location and right in the center of town but would stay in a different room then Room #3. Cable Room restaurant was excellent.

This quaint little motel is exactly what we hoped for. It’s small, clean and quiet. It’s not fancy or new but has character. The main dining room looked beautiful but we didn’t eat there. the gentleman at the front desk was very pleasant and informative.

Had a lovely stay at the Telegraph House. Staff were wonderful and the dining was amazing! The Cable Room is a must for dinner. Delicious food and the friendliest hostess/wait staff! However, the rooms are in need of renovating.

This is a lovely location, easy access to most everything downtown. Loved the history of this hotel. We had a room in the motel. If booking and you have mobility issues, there are stairs to navigate in the main hotel.

It was a nice stay for one night. Room was clean and had good beds. It was in close walking distance to restaurants down by the harbour. Enjoyable start to the Cabot Trail.

Old house charm was nice. Room was quiet. However bathroom was lacking amenities such as counter space(or equivalent shelf space for toiletry bags), not enough wall hooks. Beds were a bit soft but manageable.

The Telegraph House is like a home away from home with the air of a Victorian era mansion. The dining and menu options in the Cable Room was exceptional.

The dinner at the Chart Room was delicious and our hostess and waitress were top notch. Our check in went well. We were disappointed in the cabin we were in. It was old and outdated. The window in the bathroom was open and wouldn’t shut at all. The tub was way too deep and no mat. We had a stink bug and wasp in our room. The one pillow was way too soft. It was close in town and easy parking.

A comfortable stay in Baddeck
The hotel was conveniently located to the downtown with good parking and in-person check-in. The double room was as described and very clean. However, the heating/air system was loud and we could not find any explanation for its operation. We had a small table and two chairs outside on the porch of the building, which was lovely as the weather cooperated but it would have been difficult for two people to sit inside to read or have a drink as there was only one chair. The front desk was helpful in getting us reservations to a musical performance in town, which was appreciated.

Comfortable and relaxing.
We stayed for one night and would happily have stayed longer if our schedule had allowed. Our room was in the motel; it was spotlessly clean with a good size bathroom and comfortable beds. There was ample parking and an excellent bakery across the road for breakfast. We didn't eat in the hotel restaurant but heard that it's very good. The village is beautifully situated with lovely views and nice shops which we took advantage of for some souvenir shopping.

The meals and service were outstanding. A cafe just across the street and the post office, a laundromat, and a drugstore were within a few steps away.
