Other than being very close to the ferry, there is a nice restaurant and local food hub right accross the street. The classic family run motel is clean, lots of green space, and friendly atmosphere. Will be back.

6/10 Okay

A bit of a trip back in time.... It is an older facility. It was a basic accommodation, but the beds were comfortable and we slept okay. The walls are a bit thin, but people quieted down relatively early. It was a handy place to stay if you are getting on the ferry to Newfoundland.

The room/bathroom was very clean. Check-in was simple. Close proximity to the North Sydney Marine Atlantic ferry which was very convenient for us. And affordable for the season.

We stayed here for 2 nights so we could explore Cape Breton and the Sydney area. The room was clean and ample space for 2 people with basic amenities a tv, bar fridge, microwave and Keurig coffee maker. The bed was comfortable. The air conditioner worked well because the room was really warm when we checked in, but I prefer to sleep with the windows open overnight. We were facing the highway but are set back far enough that it was more like white noise while sleeping. The staff are friendly and tried to be accommodating if we had any concerns, but we didn’t! Thank you

Was very impressed with how clean the room was! Also very well maintained. Perfect place to stay on the way to ferry. Able to park car right out side the window so no worries about bring everything into room. Only 15$ surcharge for pet!

Just off TCH #105 and easy parking area. Room was clean and comfortable bed. Coffee K-cup / Microwave and fridge. Enjoy for the one night. Note no closet. Across the #105 highway is Esso for gas and restaurant, but note hours open.
