"Ceilidh Country Lodge: A Trip Back to the 90s, and Not in a Good Way If you're considering a stay at the Ceilidh Country Lodge, let me save you the trouble: don't. This establishment is a prime example of how to grossly overprice a product while delivering a service and aesthetic that feels like a forgotten relic from the early 1990s. The only reason you should ever darken its doors is if it's the dead of night, you're stranded, and the alternative is sleeping in your car. Even then, I'd seriously consider the car. From the moment you step inside, the overwhelming impression is one of severe neglect and a complete lack of modern comfort. The decor is jarringly outdated, making you question if any renovations have occurred since the first Gulf War. For the exorbitant rates they charge, one expects at least a semblance of contemporary standards, but what you get is a tired, worn-out facade that offers absolutely no value for money. The air conditioning unit in the room isn't just old; it's a testament to forgotten technology, wheezing and groaning with a distinct, unpleasant, musty odor. It's the kind of smell that clings to your clothes and makes you wonder about the last time, if ever, it saw a cleaning. Forget about a refreshing night's sleep; you'll be too busy trying to air out the room. The staff are equally disappointing. Far from being welcoming or helpful, they come across as utterly impolite and unhelpful. Simple requests seem to be met with a sigh or a vacant stare, as if your presence is an inconvenience. The front desk staff are particularly egregious, lacking any semblance of professionalism. They look as though they've just rolled out of bed and into the lobby, giving the distinct impression that they'd rather be anywhere but assisting guests. Their demeanor only amplifies the feeling that this lodge simply doesn't care about its patrons. And then there's the continental breakfast. Oh, the continental breakfast. Prepare for a culinary low point. The orange juice is so watered down it barely qualifies as flavored liquid, and the bread is unmistakably old, bordering on stale. As for the coffee, it's a sad, anemic brew so weak and devoid of flavor, it tastes like it was brewed not just yesterday, but perhaps two days ago. It's a breakfast that actively discourages you from eating, forcing you to seek sustenance elsewhere. In summary, the Ceilidh Country Lodge is a colossal disappointment. It is extremely overpriced for the abysmal quality and non-existent service it provides. Save your money, save your sanity, and book another hotel at all costs. This place is a last resort, and I mean last resort."

"The restaurant waiter was very welcoming and the room was comfortable."

"This vintage log cabin inn boasts one of the best locations in Baddock, a 5-minute walk to the town center, with supermarkets and convenience stores across the street. The Bell Museum and Lake Brador Wharf are within walking distance. It's easily accessible by car via the Cabot Loop, and offers free outdoor parking for RVs and cars. The architecture is a typical Atlantic Coast vintage Victorian style, creating a charming atmosphere. Rooms retain vintage furnishings and upholstered furniture, and the beds are soft and comfortable. Rooms with private balconies are perfect for enjoying the view and a coffee. The inn has its own restaurant and bar, specializing in local seafood light meals; the lobster rolls and seafood soup are delicious. There's a self-service laundry room on the first floor. The old building lacks an elevator, making it inconvenient to carry luggage in upper-floor rooms. The Wi-Fi signal is weak. Room cleaning is basic, only changing towels and emptying the trash; deep cleaning is limited. Breakfast is à la carte and was not available during our stay. Soundproofing is poor due to the old design; we could hear footsteps from upstairs. The bathroom lacks ventilation."

"We stayed on the first floor. The carpet was old and didn't seem clean. There was a spider next to the bed. The bathroom didn't have an exhaust fan. The soundproofing was poor; we could hear every step of the guests above us."

"The motel is built with thin wall, we heard ppl talking all night outside our room until 3 in the mid-night……horrible!"
