Great motel - just outside North Sydney. It's very quiet. Convenient if you are taking the ferry to Newfoundland (or coming back to Nova Scotia on the ferry). Clean and comfortable.

Good AC and heating, comfortable and clean room. The location is beautiful and perfect for our route of travel. The morning after our stay we were in a the perfect place for a brid island tour. I do wish they had breakfast (we've stayed in a motel with a to-go breakfast option on this trip). The area is a bit remote, and in shoulder season the closest food place was a 15-20 min drive. Very grateful for a microwave :) Location-wise, it was a bit stressful (in the rain!) because it's right on the 100-series highway with no left turning lane to accommodate our arrival
