I had a wonderful stay at this motel! The room was clean and comfortable, and the staff was super friendly and helpful. The location was convenient, and parking was easy. Great value for the price. Some areas could use a bit of updating, and the Wi-Fi was a little slow.

Small older motel just outside of North Sydney, just off Hwy 125. Staff was very freindly and helpful. Room was clean. Parking was good. If you are looking for a high end place to stay, this isn't it, but if your looking for someplace quiet, layed back and comfy this is it.

By far the worst motel I’ve ever stayed at. Mattress hard as a rock, being woken up by yelling neighbors , and very bright lights outside of the room. Little portable heater, quite noisy! Won’t be back.
