Loved the harbour view and the location. And the generous sized room. We rented a car at the Airport and it was easy to make our way to the Hotel. Our plan is to drive around Cape Breton Island and explore. The Simon Hotel was a perfect starting point for our trip.

This is an old hotel to the first glance at the exterior, however, renovated inside. Our Room was pretty large with decent view of the bay. Mattress was comfy and bedding were clean. Have in mind that parking is not free and there is a charge of $15 per night.
