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.

There are dive bars, this is a dive hotel. I tried to book a room in April at Hotel North where I stayed last year, got the indication that it was booked, was far from it. WiFi service intermittent at best at Highlands. This place has a terrible local reputation, which it richly deserves. Old, outdated are inadequate descriptions. Do NOT stay here!! Hotel North is the place to be.
