    You get what you pay for
    The Fortress Inn Louisbourg is nothing fancy, but it is worth the little money it costs to stay considering its quick drive into Sydney. Floors creek, taps are reversed, but that's really all the negative I can say about my stay, other than there was no Coffee machine, fridge or…

    OK for one night
    This "inn" is motel-style so you can drive up to your door. It is very neat and clean and has the usual TV (limited channels), but no phone. Perhaps that is the way we are going nowadays with everyone having a mobile, but it is inconvenient when you want to phone another room.…

    Overnight stay
    Old motel charging $79 per night. At that price you can’t expect much. But the room smelled mouldy/musty and really bothered us. The Mattress was hard as a board. Hot And cold taps were backward. Bedding was fresh and clean. For a quick night’s sleep it was okay if you didn’t…

    Smelly and loud
    The room was neat, but turning back the bed covers released a smell reminiscent of a men's hockey team change room. The tub was very dusty and there were small bugs in it. The toilet kept making loud noises and we could hear the people two rooms over.

    Worst motel ever!
    Rooms smelled like old Mold. Bathroom was a disgrace. Air conditioner put out musty air. No breakfast to rave about. Didn’t even have butter for toast. Everyone had to dig peanut butter out of a jar. Cereal was in boxes, milk was .outdated. No eggs or warm meat. Don’t stay here…

    A view from the Fortress
    "Bring your own coffee if you drink it. Not many places in town offering a good cup of joe."
    "Go somewhere else , even if it costs more."
    "We had room 29 which was clean and quiet."
    "make sure you ask for a room that isn't musty"
    "Get as far away from the bar entrance and patio as possible."
