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.

Our room was clean, room was tight with 2 double beds but perfect for a nights stay. Recommend that if you have any mobility issues to ask for a room on the ground floor as they don’t have an elevator.
