It was a lovely hotel, they accommodated a room switch which was due to taste rather than having anything to do with the room provided. Restaurant is lovely, as is the view. It's an older hotel but rooms were in good shape, clean and comfortable. Staff extremely friendly. We enjoyed our stay.

We were here only one night but very much enjoyed Baddeck and our stay at Silver Dart Lodge. The staff were all extremely helpful and accomodating. We sat in the bar area which had a pleasant view to do some work. I wish there were more time to explore the bikes, trails, etc. I would stay here again.

Great stay in a beautiful location. Only downside is that it's an older building and noise from upper units can be a bit much depending on who is up there. For 2 nights we had people above us who walked around forever, or so it felt.
