Room very cold and in need of a makeover. Paint chipping and floor needed to be replaced. The heat was minimal. They had a small electric heater in the room. A larger person wouldn't be able to stand at the sink as the toilet was right there. We had to call a number to check in and didn't see anyone .

Horrible. Rooms were not as advertised. Bedding was full of blood and it was not old blood. Sheets were not changed just tucked away under mattress to hide. Bed fell apart. Furniture was disgusting. Bathroom linens were filthy. Someone needs to stop advertising this as it shows online. There is nothing at this motel. It's rundown. We tried talking to owner and he was very disrespectful. The couple running it was of no help. Plus they told us they use it for the homeless in the winter. I wouldn't recommend this to anyone. One star is too much

Needs TLC. Can't believe the lamp wire goes around the office chair mid-air... Why couldn't they juat used an extension if the outlet near the bed is bad or non-existant? Other than that, everything else was fine.

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.

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.

It is an older motel so you have to expect things are not going to be top of the line especially for the price. I think they are upgrading a bit at a time. The check in was easy and the man nice, room was clean, sheets were clean, washroom has been updated it was clean. Beds were not comfortable first night was terrible second night was better I guess just getting used to it.. Now to nit-pick, the hot water took a minute or two to get hot but once it did it was fine. there was a big cobweb by the light and the bathroom mirror was smudged looks like it was just wiped and not dried, minor thing.. I did not see any breakfast and no little coffee pot or hair dryer in the room. Total experience it was good.

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.
