The family who operates the motel was very likable and friendly. The room was very clean and had everything we needed for our one night stay. We would stay there again in the future.

Was so glad when we arrived and no one was available but manager had message on mailbox on how to contact them. Made the phone call and someone came immediately. Was relieved with outcome, cause I didn't have a working cellphone with me. Thank you.

The room/bathroom was very clean. Check-in was simple. Close proximity to the North Sydney Marine Atlantic ferry which was very convenient for us. And affordable for the season.

Was very impressed with how clean the room was! Also very well maintained. Perfect place to stay on the way to ferry. Able to park car right out side the window so no worries about bring everything into room. Only 15$ surcharge for pet!

The place was quiet, clean and comfortable. Actually, great overall, the only negative thing I could complain about was the very strong smell of cleaners in the room. We had to open the windows and turn the a/c on for a few hours before the smell was actually bearable to stay in the room. This is not good when you are allergic to scents!! We would definitely stay again, but would ask to view the room beforehand to make sure there was no strong smell of cleaners.
