La Digue Suites

What guests think

La Digue Suites sits on a working harbour with walkable access to restaurants and the Cabot Trail, offering scenic water views for some rooms, but the industrial setting can feel busy and occasionally noisy or bright early in the morning.

Rooms range from simple, dated units to larger, modern suites with kitchens and decks; many appreciate comfort and views, but several mention small layouts, thin walls, and uncomfortable or noisy sofa beds. Cleanliness feedback is often positive, yet recurring issues include musty or sewage-like odours, dampness, and occasional housekeeping misses such as dirty sheets or floors. Service is remote with phone-based check-in; some guests found staff friendly and responsive, while others struggled to reach anyone or received no advance instructions. Overall, expect a convenient, harbourfront base best suited to short stays.

Location was good. Parking was good. The room was smaller than expected for 3 adults. We had expected 2 beds and sofa bed. It would have been helpful to have a toaster, cutlery, kettle and some plates so that we could have made some breakfast. The wifi connection was good and we enjoyed some TV shows.

There was no reception on site. Apparently it was mentioned in the booking but when you travel for three weeks and checkin/out almost daily we didn’t noticed. Also, some other locations gave us directions/messages before arrival and this location didn’t. On site we had to call a remote reception. From there on all went smoothly though. Room was clean and all necessities were there. It’s by the marina. Parking is easy on site.

It was easy to find. Central to everything we needed. It slept 6 easily. The only issue we had was there were no coffee pods or shower soap or gel. We ended up having to go but these things. For the price of what we paid it should have been stocked in my opionion.

Got there and even though the room door was unlocked, there was no key for the room. Then when I called owners to tell them they said they would be right over. Only after calling again did they show up after 20 minutes of waiting. Then there were quite a number of flies in the room. The fold out bed had a thin mattress and squeaked when moving in the bed. The bathroom door squeaked loudly if you open and closed it fully. There only one Keureg pod for coffee so we couldn't make coffee for us all. One good thing was owners gave an extensive list of restaurants with menus and the restaurants were mainly in walking distance. FYI, the place is right on a working fishing dock.

Upon arriving at The Digue Suites , we found our dockside room and was able to park directly outside our door. This was handy for luggage access etc. The room was very clean and charming. Nice large shower with plenty of towels as well. Decor was unique and furniture has seen some better days but were all functioning. The bed was comfortable and clean. There is a small fridge , microwave and coffee maker as well. We walked to Le Gabriel for dinner and some live entertainment, which turned out to be a lovely evening. Absolutely loved the area and explored the Cheticamp Island as well. Stunning views from the lighthouse. Overall a great little Stopping point on our Cabot Trail adventure!

The Island View suite was supposed to be non-smoking but had a lingering odour of stale cigarette smoke and damp. The sink was almost completely plugged. The buildings heat exchangers were located against the exterior wall and were noisy until midnight. No insulation between the neighbouring suite as I listened to a complete phone conversation the occupant was having. Room is very tired.

When we arrived the unit had a very unpleasant odor. It clearly had been cleaned thoroughly with a slight smell of bleach present, but it could not eliminate the bad odor. The cleaning person was very kind and had clearly done a good job but could not alleviate the smell - kind of like mildew and dog.. We left the windows open while we went to eat, which did help some. Plus one window wouldn't lock.

Great spot! I wish i could have given it a 5 all around...but, I see in another review someone mentioning a mold like smell. Should have been a heads up for the owner but sadly it smelled during our stay too. Wet towels placed over the sink and shower drain helped. Daytime we were able to open the windows full but being on the ground floor we chose to lock them at night. Time for some maintenence on those for sure. Other than that everything went wonderful.

Three people in a room so small we couldn’t open the suitcases and walk to the bathroom. The sofa bed made so much noise whenever someone rolled over it woke everyone up. The noise from the room over us also kept everyone awake until midnight. I don’t know why there are so many good reviews. Perhaps some of the rooms are larger/ better than ours was.

Calling this room a suite is a stretch .. More like a low-end motel room with a couch, mini fridge, and microwave. There was a Keurig coffee machine but no cups and no cream and sugar. There were two wine glasses but no way to wash them. There was no kitchen. The towels were adequate, the sheets were worn. The building is on a gravel lot on the working wharf. The curtains were not sufficient to completely block the windows from someone looking in. Fortunately it's off season and no one was actually back there. It was okay for a motel room, but extremely expensive and not at all what I expected.

The place was clean and bright with big windows. The pullout couch was incredibly creaky and very loud. Everytime someone moved a tiny bit it was very loud and metallic sounding. Also we could hear everything that the people in the suite above us did. Every step. Every trip to the washroom. Was close to the national park and about 20 min from skyline trail

It doesn't look like much from the outside but fantastic suite. Would highly recommend. Plus, head to The Doryman for dinner...the food was great.

Here is your refined, polite, clear, and grammatically corrected version: --- The room was recently renovated, nicely decorated, and very clean. It was also conveniently close to the Skyline Trail, which was one of the main reasons we chose this property. The room itself was small, but this was expected as the square footage was clearly advertised. My only concern was with the sofa bed. It made a screeching noise whenever my son moved, which made it a bit difficult for him to sleep comfortably. It seems that the metal frame of the bed might be quite old or possibly loose.

The check-in is unconventional and inconvenient for tourists without a local mobile phone contract: you have to call a number to be allocated the room you have rented. Although we asked for check-in details via the contact form the day before, there was no response. The room itself is very basic and not acceptable for the price (240 CAD). The bed was fine. Unfortunately there was a lot of dirt under the sofa bed.

Several suites on an inlet on the main street in Cheticamp. Unfortunately there was a power outage the day we were arriving that affected the internet and the room cleaning. The owner upgraded us to a bigger suite and was very responsive to calls. The suites are nice and clean. Several good restaurants in walking distance.

This is the ugliest and most dreadful spot in Cheticamp. This “hotel” sits at the bottom of a hill in a dusty parking lot facing working pier. There are bright lights on all night and by 4;30 am you can hear the beeping on the pier. There is no office. You call to check in. The tell you you “suite” and it’s unlock. There is a sign telling you if you use a glass or cup to wash it and put it away but there is no dish soap. The bed sheets are old and thin. This is not the place you want to stay when visiting beautiful Cape Breton.
