A good basic motel, but at this time of year, without dinner or breakfast. The Salty Girls diner, 15 minites walk away provided an evening meal. Breakfast was someway back up the highway.

Quiet, clean and cozy with space for 4 people to move around in comfort. Could have used a kettle to make tea. This was our second visit would stay again!

The room was fairly “basic” in most respects, but quite adequate for the price paid. The one thing I was REALLY impressed by was the quality of customer service displayed by the front desk staff, who were super-friendly, and went out of their way to help me on several occasions (most notably, obtaining a drive back to Sydney when my original ride fell through) … impressed me very much!

We stayed here one night. Rooms are generally clean, albeit a little dated. Decent size. There was a fridge and microwave in the room which was handy. The location is great for visiting the Louisberg fortress and the light house. the light house is a five min drive and the fortress entrance is 6 min drive. They do provide a breakfast. Nothing fancy. cereal and toast and what looked like powdered eggs. Parking is easy. the staff were friendly.

8/10 Very good

The room was clean and tidy, and the air conditioning worked well - essential given the heat wave we drove into in the Maritimes. Bed was comfortable and the shower had decent pressure. The morning breakfast was simple but a good start to the day. Not fancy but a solid low cost option for the budget traveler. As for the location, it's a 10 minute drive to the Fort, and (if you need it) a laundromat just up the road. We didn't have too many interactions with the staff but they were always friendly and helpful.
