Skye Lodge (no restaurant)

Our door would not lock from the outside so we had to take our belongings with us every time we left the room. The wifi did not work and the shower leaked. Complimentary coffee existed for one night but not two or three. If you are looking for just a bed to sleep in then its fine.

Terrible service. Room had a foul odour, water and ac didn't work. Worst part was that on the phone a rate was agreed upon and a receipt was given the night of when chchecki in. In the morning another bill was given charging $80 more. Upon confrontation false charges were made up and charged on a different hidden receipt. Upon an hour of arguing and stalling we were finally refunded the $80. The worst lodging experience of our lives, would give negative 10 stars if possible. Sleeping in your car at a gas station parking lot would've been more comfortable. Avoid this place like the plague.

Not too happy with this place. All in all was almost 300 dollars for 2 nights with cot and taxes. Booked through Hotels.com and says pet friendly. Owner comes up to us says no pets in all of Motel. Showed him Hotels.com an then says it's in the back only. Wants to charge us more when checkout but will not tell us how much until then. Will never stay here again.

I cannot believe that the state this hotel is in, and that it is still allowed to be open. I am a veteran of the hotel and hospitality industry, and was appalled by the state of the room we walked into. We booked this hotel last minute, and got into the room minutes later at around midnight. We were exhausted and we're looking for an economical option as we were leaving early the next day. We got into the room, and I could tell it was a old, but had it been clean and kept, I would not have cared. It was a place we were going to sleep within and leave; I did not need any luxuries. We were exhausted and wanted a bed. There were so many issues I'm frankly not sure where to start. We stayed in the room long enough to realize we would have been cleaner, and more comfortable just sleeping in my car and peeing on the side of the road! So about 5-minutes. The washroom was disgusting and dirty, the shower curtain was rotting and full of mold. It was stained by the mold, and obviously they could not afford a new dollar store shower curtain. The linens in the bathroom looked like they were put in the same washer as championship mud wrestlers uniforms, post-game day. And not only that, but the quality of the linens were that of a lesser caliber dollar store. The electrical plugs were absolutely illegal in the amount of things that were plugged into them. The place is an electrical fire just waiting to happen! The walls had stains and webs throughout. The floors were so disgusting and stained I would not have stepped on them in sock feet let alone bare feet. All of this I was going to live with… But then I went to the bed, and that was the last straw. Yes the coverlet on the bed dated back to the ancient 80s, but that is OK, again as long as everything would have been clean, I could see past it. It was just one night. We pulled down the coverlet to reveal cheap sheets, and sheets that were too small for the double size mattress they were on. Further there was no fitted sheet on the bed (which is common, however usually the mattress covering sheet is large enough that it fits to tuck in on all sides) so upon sitting on the bed, the sheet on top of the mattress immediately came off and revealed the mattress underneath. So basically, any little twist or turn on that bed that night would have resulted in my skin (or face) surely being sarcastically burned off by the repulsive, old, hard as a rock mattress underneath. At that point, I was so angered, that without even speaking to my boyfriend, I had to leave the room, go to the front desk, and ask the lady for a refund and inform her that we were leaving. I realized and shared with her that I know this is not her fault, but that I would absolutely not sleep in such a disgusting, dirty, decrepit, sad excuse for a hospitality establishment. Not even knowing what I was doing, by the time I got out of the lobby, my boyfriend had already put our bags in the car. He was on his last straw as well. He would not stay there another minute either. I will figure out how to post pictures of just some of the things I witnessed, so that you know what you were getting before you book this room. Unless hotels are fully booked in this area, and about an hour or so outside surrounding this area, and unless you come prepared fully stocked with Lysol wipes, and hazmat uniforms, I would never go near this hotel again. It is really too bad because the view out the back of the hotel is surely one of the most incredible hotel views in Nova Scotia. But instead of fixing up the property and revelling in this amazing land they have, they have let it go beyond downhill. I am sickened by the five-minute experience I had within it. I wish I had the money to invest in buying and beautifying this property. Hopefully some day someone will. That view is worth it. To the hotelier of this property; your customers deserve better than this. Take a $10 price increase per night, and give them a clean property they may want to come back to. Your investment will pay off with good reviews that will spark higher occupancy.

Terrible beds with barely washed bedding.. some rooms are worse than others. Company booked the entire motel so was able to hear about most of the room conditions. There is AC and basic amenities.. weird smells in most rooms like a musky smell. You wont regret spending a little more to stay elsewhere but if you have to stay here you will get through it. Rooms should cost like 70 dollars max here it isn't worth any more than that.

HORRIBLE!! We didn't end up staying. We were given an interior room but told we would be locked in until 6am. No leaving the motel, no access to our car. A room that you could only stand up on one side because of the roofline. Nope...got our money back and left. I would never stay here and certainly would not recommend to anyone else. I only gave it one star because I couldn't post without a rating!!

Needs some upgrades like wireless Internet couldn't connect. My room had no fridge or microwave. Can't complain too much as they allowed my dog but not supposed to but all the places around where booked. Room had lots of room. They don't have a vending machine that sucks for quick snacks.

The owners of this establishment tried to scam us. We paid in full online about a month ago (with bookings.com) and upon arriving, were told that was a “reservation fee” and we had only paid the website, not the lodge.They demanded our credit card to pay a second time (we refused) and immediately called bookings.com to sort it out.My partner ended up having to walk the owners thru the process of going into their computer, finding our booking, and checking us in - prior to him urging them to check the computer, they hadn’t even turned it on.After about 45 minutes of back & forth, we finally sorted it out - all in all, was handled terribly and we feel that the intent was to charge us twice - although we (hope) they weren’t.The rooms are fine - you’re staying at a 1-2 star, we didn’t have bed bugs but we meticulously checked everything. Came, slept, left.

Our entire hockey team plus parents were unable to cross the Canso Causeway due to high winds. So we were desperate for a place to stay.They charged $112 per night and this place is a filthy and disgusting place to stay.I loved how they had us stay in a smoking hotel room. The car air freshener hanging from the lamp to disguise the odor of smoke, mould and urine was a fantastic touch. The blood all along the box spring, the hanging non working fire detector, the bubbling paint all along the window made the stay extra special. The room access was easy, as the room had an outside entrance and didn’t need to be opened via room key. My sleep was suitable, while I was comfortably horizontal with my winter jacket, boots and hoody pulled over my head to avoid a serious infestation of bed bugs or head lice. I loved the fact that it had built in air conditioning while the -31 winds breezed through our infested room.This place is so bad and vile, the bed bugs were complaining.It’s a miracle that this armpit of a business has not been condemned.Other than that, everything was great. Best 10 mins of sleep I had in a while.Do yourself a favor, close your eyes.....And envision yourself sleeping in a green bin in July. Staying here gives you the same type of feel.
