Maritime Inn Antigonish

Overall, I cannot recommend this inn. Why? Well, one primarily stays at a hotel or motel to sleep overnight. And it is the room that was the downfall. The location is fine, parking is great, the staff are friendly and there is a terrific restaurant with a very good menu and prices attached to the inn. But the room was not good. Lipstick on a pig, as they say, much lipstick in this case. The room 103 was dark, dingy, stuffy, and very worn wallpaper peeling off in the bathroom, bathroom grout that badly needs cleaning, a rusty show curtain rod, the metal grate in the bathroom door badly rusted, scuffs on the wall in many places. To top it off, three dead bugs I hope not bedbugs in the bedding. I think the cleaning must be very perfunctory, and it's so dark no small wonder the cleaner can't see anything well. One other thing - the room is far too expensive at the rate I paid even with the very good breakfast - $182, tax extra. I feel I was cheated for this poor accommodation. I will not stay here again,although I would happily eat in the restaurant - it is very good.

I was attending a workshop at St. Francis Xavier University Coady Institute, and this was the hotel that they use. It was a wonderful experience. Great service, and care by staff. A full breakfast was included in the price and it was a substantial meal. They really do hospitality and service in a great way. Thank you, I will be back, sooner than later.

Great place to stop on your way to the Cabot trail. Staff is nice. there is a restaurant attached which you receive breakfast. We stayed at the beginning and the end of our trip. it is also nice to be able to walk around town.nThe only thing I didn't like was carrying our suitcases up the stairs.

Stayed in Sept 2025 on way from North Sydney ferry. Nice small hotel, good service from front desk and manager. Some aspects of hotel a little dated, but nice and clean and beds very comfortable. Free hot breakfast for two included with room. A nice individual cooked breakfast, not a buffet of warmers. We recommend and would return!

The Maritime Inn in Antigonish has potential, but it really requires some work. The carpet is dirty and worn, the bedding was stained and felt ancient. The paint is dirty and small repairs are left undone. The toilet in our room didnt work, and the shower had stains all over it. It needs an upgrade and better cleaning. It is also not accessible, no elevator. The staff were friendly.
