Top Red River Hotel Reviews

Ingonish Chalets

10/10 Excellent

"A confusing check-in was made excellent by the cleaning staff. They went out of their way to facilitate our check-in. They did a beautiful job of cleaning our cabin. I never did get the TV to work during our whole vacation in Nova Scotia. Directions for using the satellite are insufficient. What input channel to the TV is used? HDMI1, 2? Followed the directions given to no avail. Wi-Fi was spotty. Beds very comfortable; towels and blankets were plentiful. We very much enjoyed our stay there. Great hot water in the shower. Excellent Tim Horton dark K cups for the Keurig. 😊 Recommended highly."

Castle Rock Country Inn

8/10 Good

"A nice quaint inn by the side of the road. Friendly and helpful staff. Not the most modern but a comfortable room and bathroom. Breakfast was good in a nice dining room. Would stay here again."

Glenghorm Beach Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Good place with great amenities. The beach access was great."

Sugar Maple Camping Pod at The Spruces

8/10 Good

"It was an upgrade for camping. The nice thing about the accommodation was that there were flush toilets and showers as well as a fully functional kitchen in the communal building. The outdoor lighting wasn’t very bright so a good bright flashlight is a must. It will help you to locate the assigned pod. Don’t bring large or a lot of luggage. There isn’t a lot of space left next to the queen-sized foam bed. Having indoor shoes is a good idea as the floor is not finished. The plug-in electric heater warmed up the space very quickly and nicely. After turning it off before going to sleep, the temperature stayed warm until getting up 7 hours later. A quick 10 min plug in brought the temperature back to the same level as the night before. Remember that this not to be like a motel room. It is meant to accommodate those who are camping. Communication with the host and his team was constant to ensure our needs were met. Good accommodations for those looking for a cozy no-frills place to spend the night."
