Pool not open, lacking effort to have repairs made

We had a three night stay and we were upgraded to a 2 bed room cabin. The decore and furniture were dated and worn, but there was ample hot water and water pressure. We had most of our meals in Churchills. The (included) breakfast buffet had many options and the eggs Benedict was the best I've had at a buffet. Unfortunately, the staff appeared disorganized and overwhelmed. For example, I waited 8 minutes for utensils one morning. We had the prime rib special on Friday. It was very good and the service from our server Ting was flawless. We were disappointed the pool wasn't open for the season. If a pool is important to you, you should confirm it's open before booking.

Digby Pines is the Grand Lady of Digby. I sm smitten. It has such history and still has maintained it grandness. The rooms (and plumbing) have the old hotel charm. It is no longer a full five stars but it is a stunning building, with beautiful grounds. The bedding was superior, the rooms were clean and it was lovely sitting in their beautiful breakfast room taking in the spectacular harbour. Lastly, while in Nova Scotia, ask questions and chat with the local staff and lovely Nova Scotians. They are warm and so proud of their land and heritage.

The hotel is a beautiful old CP Hotel. The lobby, dining room and all common rooms are beautiful. The room we stayed in definitely needs some renovation. Especially the carpet! The sink in the bathroom was very slow to drain and stuff came up into the sink. Not sure what it was. The breakfast was delicious! Kudos to the chef. We had supper in the dining room, the food was very good. Our server Ting does an excellent job, very pleasant and personable!

Grand old railroad palace of the golden age that is under new management and will require capital and trained staff to succeed. Wish them well.

Extremely outdated and poorly maintained. Very pleasant staff and sorry to see it run down.

Everything was excellent!

We have been visiting this place for a long time, encounter history and warmth

Great stay!

I was terribly disapointed with this hotel- I was really looking forward to staying here, but...the property really let me down. Just so many negatives to list ( and I am NOT generally a complainer!). The room was VERY small and dated, they only had TWIN beds in the room, couldn't get the air con to work, the pool wasn't open, couldn't get a coffee anywhere and the restaurant was closed, I fell in an open sewer grate off the driveway, they jammed the few guests into one small area on the same area of one floor ( so noisy at times ), the entire property was really run down and in need of much work, the room price was VERY high for what you get, the hotel is a LONG was away from coffee, downtown eateries etc. I don't think the manager was very attentative, in fact he walked right in front of me to get through the door as it opened without an "excuse me", "hello" or anything! I would not recommend this hotel for it's price, condition or location.

Enjoyed my stay at this facility. Property is old but for the most part well maintained. My only comment, and I did pass this along to the staff, was the windows were terribly dirty. For a property that boasts its views, the cleanliness of the windows was very disappointing!!

The rooms are clean but very old and small, no fridge. There is a nice fireplace and large sitting area by the bar. The food was amazing, breakfast and dinner.

Everything from start to finish was wonderful! Would definitely stay again in the future

A couple of disappointments upon check in: 1) We rented a cottage that was listed to have 2 double beds + 2 twin beds. We actually had 3 twin beds and 1 double. 2) we were given no ice bucket or complimentary water (pretty common anywhere you go) Our cottage was nice and cozy. The property itself is very nice and offers plenty of options. Great location, close to everything you need. The breakfast was perfect and hats off to our server for breakfast and the bartender, I would give them both 5 stars but the front desk staff more like a 3. We did spend a bit of time trying to chase a mouse out of our cottage in the evening but was not successful, so he's still there somewhere. Overall I should say this stay was not what I would expect for the price I paid and I'm sure it's even more expensive in peak season.

We arrived on Friday afternoon for our Anniversary weekend after driving in from Truro,only to be told there would be no hot water until Monday. We had already booked a 2 night stay and chose to leave after the first night as it was unsanitary at the least.

Unfortunately, the Pines is in need of significant repairs and renovations to modernize this former Nova Scotia landmark. The boiler was undergoing repairs and no hot water was available in the rooms. We did receive an upgrade to a room with Ocean view.The carpets could be shampooed and dents in the moulding as well as flaking paint could be easily repaired. No wi fi was available. Dinner was excellent. Staff were friendly. We would consider returning but we would choose a cottage instead.

Nice room

Great place, awesome staff.

breakfast was awsome , ordered off the menu and was fast and fresh

For the price we paid we were disappointed with the lack of amenities… even finding coffee this morning was an issue. The room was not set up for the four people booked into it. The walls so thin I could hear the person in the next room snoring. Overall it is not worth the hype!
