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 It was old and outdated.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 location was the best thing about this property. The room we started 28 was smelling of dust. It was very difficult to sleep. The room AC was making lot of sound. We had to turn it off. The beds were uncomfortable to sleep. Overall very poor arrangement compared to the price.
