Five star this is not- it is a pedestrian motel at the side of a road. But the road happens to be the Cabot Trail, and this is half way through it (between Ingonish and Chedicamp- which both have superior accoms.) And the motel looks out onto a gorgeous little harbour and out into the Gulf of St. Lawrence). Land... More

Rooms are OK, even those w/o ocean view have nice view, ours had a view on art artifacts in the middle of grass. We eat only breakfast in the restaurant, which is moderate at best. Staff is friendly and place is great to enjoy in national park, whale waching.

Stayed here while in Pleasant Bay for a funeral. Rooms were spotlessly clean, meals were excellent with reasonable prices & generous portions. The staff was friendly, professional & compassionate to all the family members who stayed at the motel. This is my third or fourth time to stay at the MidTrail & would recommend it to anyone passing through on... More

Don't judge the exterior as the rooms are clean and updated. We had an ocean view room with a shared (but divided) terrace. The food was great for a great price. The view and the sunset was gorgeous - they have chairs for you on the edge of the field overlooking the ocean.

Great place to stay. Beautiful grounds with very beautiful views of the ocean and sunsets. Comfortable beds with a very good selection of TV stations via satellite. Food at restaurant was very good with reasonable prices and friendly staff. We would recommend this to anyone.

Stayed here with a family of 5. The room was large and clean but the beds were very old and squeaky. It was an ok place to stay but nothing to write home about. If you do stay here don't miss the sunset from the hill, great view.

Stayed here over the Canada Day Weekend and was traveling with a group of eight bikers and their wives. After a long day on the trail, they kept the restaurant open late for us and graciously opened for breakfast the next day an hour early. We stayed in the rooms behind the office/restaurant which have a lovely view of the... More
