Top Pictou Hotel Reviews

The Scotsman Inn

The Scotsman Inn

8/10 Good
"Good location. Comfortable bed. Nice shampoo, conditioner, body wash, and lotion. Shower is small. Quiet. Gave us a great recommendation for dinner. Complimentary coffee pods and cups outside our door were all used up when we got to it. Also, our Expedia reservation email said continental breakfast for us two was included, but owner when checking in said it was not included if we booked through Expedia and that it would be an extra $20.00 each for breakfast. A shame because we had booked here in order to have an easy quick breakfast before driving to the airport. Checking the Expedia email again we mentioned it was listed as included—the owner asked for proof and when I showed it, they then said it was wrong and it was a very uncomfortable and unwelcoming experience. I felt punished and cheated for using Expedia and if they don’t want people to book through Expedia they shouldn’t list their property on Expedia. If they don’t want breakfast listed as included on Expedia that is between the owners and Expedia, not their guests. A shame our last night on a 14 day vacation left a bad taste in our mouths over a bowl of yogurt."
