Owner was very nice but units needed updating. Restaurants in immediate area were closed. Room had an unpleasant odour. Bathroom extremely small.

Thank you for taking the time to comment. Hurricane Lee just passed through and with the wind and rain as a result it was hard to deal with the humidity and dampness as a result the odor. The larger newer hotels definitely have larger bathrooms than we do but with this being an older motel it is what it is. We wish you all the best and hope you enjoy the rest of your time on our wonderful Island. Safe travels.

The staff is great but the room has some musty smell from humidity which is high in the area. The room is clean but the furniture and furnishings are a bit dated.

An old school motel with average room and mediocre furnishings. While very clean, linens etc a bit worn to the point of bedspread having a noticeable odor. We arrived from ferry at North Sydney in early evening. Adjacent restaurant not open and local close spots all closing by 7. Few open in morning either. Road noise diminished thru evening which was good

Excellent starting point for the Cabot Trail
Even if a fairly rudimentary motel, it is in excellent condition and in a perfect location to explore the Cabot Trail and Sydney/Glace Bay. Wonderful and generous host in Audrey - highly recommended and if we're lucky enough to get back there we'll stay here again.
