My husband and I stayed at the Maritime Inn on Main Street last night…read more Antigonish is a small town and there are only a couple hotels. I wanted to stay along Main Street. This hotel isn't fancy but the room was okay. We were on the ground floor so our rental car was parked just ouside the door which was handy. The only complaint I have is that the phone didn't work. The phone rang but when I answered, I heard nothing. I said that if whoever was calling could hear me, they should call me on my cell phone and I gave the number. When I told the guy at the front desk about it after we came back from supper, he said he'll have it checked out today. Um, we're checking out today so that won't do us any good. Good thing I have my cell phone. When we checked out this morning, the receptionist gave us a $10 credit off our bill.

But even in light of that, the Antigonish Victorian Inn, though charming, was a huge disappointment. Building is beautiful, at least what you can see of it. There are no sitting rooms, salons, or public areas of any kind. Everything is closed up. No breakfast room, not even coffee in the morning. My room was beautiful, apparently the nicest in the inn. But no working TV and, worst of all, NO HOT WATER. What kind of inn has no hot water? I was in Antigonish for a business conference and couldn't even get the water warm enough for a cold shower. The room wasn't cheap, over $200 per night. It really feels like the owners are trying to operate this business by spending as little money as possible. And in the hospitality industry, that just won't work. Never again!

Upon entering the door my heart must have sank looking at the old house. I though this is going to be a long night. The welcome was warm and friendly and John was funny. Which was a relief. He showed us the bedroom which seemed older. But as we settled we came to grips that this must be a century home. The hardwood floors, the ceiling, the crown moulding, the railings outside, the bathroom. It can be a museum. The bed was OK, but the room had character. Overlooking the river and some side small rooms also rented by the same folks. Please refer to the pictures to believe it. The living room (parlour then) was amazing. They have pictures of the original owners. The house built more than 130 years ago!! We also told the host that we were vegetarian no eggs and a vegan. The host still made amazing breakfast for us. Blueberry Scones or biscuits were the best I have ever had. I could just pay them to eat those biscuits. Again the hosts were amazing. Newfoundlanders in Nova Scotia exceptional hospitality

My family stayed in a unit in the house so I can only speak for it, but it was so adorable! The floors were a little creaky and I don't think soundproofing was fantastic, but the furnishings were old-school and very cute. The slanted ceiling, old wooden wardrobe, pictures and quilts, lacy curtains, and the washroom (with a shower and a separate old-style bathtub) had an adorable antique vibe. The size of the room was standard, but the washroom was quite roomy. I personally loved it! I believe it was a heritage house. It also had an amazing view of the harbour. Unfortunately we got in late and it faced west so we couldn't see sunrise, but I imagine sunset would've been spectacular! We also had breakfast there. If you're looking for fast grab-and-go this probably isn't the place (although I'm sure you can make arrangements), since there was just a couple as staff. However, the service was great and they were super attentive. The food was home-style and made on the spot to order, and coffee is freshly ground coffee beans pressed. It was a relaxing meal overlooking the beautiful view of the water. Would recommend a stay here :)

Adequate place to stay. Only hotel in Antigonish with a swimming pool which is the best comment to…read moremake about this Inn. Beds are comfortable with plenty of fluffy pillows available. It's close to a minor shopping mall and close to Boston Pizza, but not a comfortable walking distance to downtown or the university. Walls are a little thin so we could hear the bathroom in the next room and the loud talkers. Otherwise it is overpriced and in desperate need of upgrades. Rooms are cramped and furniture is outdated and worn out. Don't be fooled by the "Executive Rooms". They're not significantly better than the regular rooms. Hence the only $4 extra rate. If you have kids who need a swimming pool to be entertained, then it's the best place in Nish to stay.

Conveniently located 5-10 minutes away from the PEI ferry, the breathtaking view of the waterfront and trees captures your heart as you drive up to the inn. We loved our two bedroom suite, which, while cozy, gave you balcony access and perfect view of the cliffs and ocean as the sun rose behind it each morning. The common spaces in the inn was comfortable as well, and Robert was a great host - very welcoming and prepared a wonderful breakfast each morning, and spent time with us to help map out our day to some fantastic off-the-beaten path spots of PEI. Highly recommend this inn, and definitely look forward to coming back.

Upon check-in, I was given complimentary chocolate and water by the desk clerk (I'm also a Rewards Club member). The hotel looks very new, I'm guessing it was built over the last couple of years, plus it is conveniently located off of the highway. My room was very clean and very spacious, plus it had plenty of amenities. I decided to take a dip in the hotel's indoor pool, which also features a water slide. My only complaint about that the pool was too shallow in the area that people would enter the pool from sliding. Continental breakfast was good and plentiful. Do consider staying here if you're passing through this part of Nova Scotia and need a hotel room for a night.
