Silver Dart Lodge

“Positive experience in Baddeck”

We had a nice stay in the Silver Dart one bedroom McNeil House suites. Clean and spacious. Odd bathroom setup, but this was not a big issue. Very close to town, so able to walk everywhere.

We had a nice stay in the Silver Dart one bedroom McNeil House suites. Clean and spacious. Odd bathroom setup, but this was not a big issue. Very close to town, so able to walk everywhere. The front desk hosts were friendly and provided good info about the area. The little giftshop in the lobby was quite reasonably priced. We did not eat here, so have no info about the restaurant. We did not have kids with us, but it would be a wonderful family place. Lots of lawn, a playground and nice pool. Laundry available for guest uses was clean and well maintained. We were glad that we chose this place while in Baddeck.

We received a warm welcome from the reception staff. Didn’t meet any other hotel staff. Silver Dart Lodge is showing its age in a few ways. The exterior woodwork is beginning to peel and the floorboards on the balconies were occasionally worn and needed new paint. The screen doors onto the lake-facing balcony were wonderfully old fashioned but very noisy to open and close. The room itself looked tired and in need of some TLC. Wallpaper starting to peel, old fashioned bathroom decor, low ceiling that felt claustrophobic. There are not enough powerpoints in the room and they are all hard to reach, hiding behind furniture or down very low on the wall. There was no grab handle in the bathroom, making it harder to get in and out of the, fortunately, low silled bath. We spent two nights and enjoyed the views from the balcony outside our room, second floor in the main lodge. The bed was comfortable and we were warm enough with enough quilts and pillows. There were enough towels and toiletries provided in the bathroom. Since we were out and about all day, we didn’t need much more than a good bed and a hot shower. Recent reviews about the breakfast put us off so we ate elsewhere. Overall, it is a pleasant enough place to stay.

“Musty carpet”

The room was clean, bed was comfortable, nice pillows. The carpet had a very musty smell. -If the hotel is not going to provide maid service, leave more towels in the room at least more hand towels.

“Does what it says on the tin”

First off, this is a 3 star establishment, and it does that. We stayed in a chalet. Good bits first. Friendly staff. Big comfy bed with nice linen. However, overall, the chalet was dated. Chipped paintwork, wallpaper peeling, rickety patio door, and a particularly cheap outdoor Adirondack chair. B… lisää

First off, this is a 3 star establishment, and it does that. We stayed in a chalet. Good bits first. Friendly staff. Big comfy bed with nice linen. However, overall, the chalet was dated. Chipped paintwork, wallpaper peeling, rickety patio door, and a particularly cheap outdoor Adirondack chair. Breakfast is not included but is available for an extra $20 each. Poor quality buffet. No orange juice, no muesli or fruit option, just very basic fry up food. Go into town and get breakfast in one of the cafes there. Overall, it was a clean room for one night on our road trip, but I wouldn't use it again.
