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.

This is just another Motel being run by Newly arrived immigrants. Everything about this motel is Bare Minimum. Beds, linens, microwave, furniture, mini fridge. There was No coffee or tea making appliance in the room.There is No Coffee or Tea available in the lobby. I would rate this place has 2 steps above sleeping in your car.

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 Old, outdated are inadequate descriptions.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.

Very poor quality from bedding to amenities—this property needs a major up-date and cleaning. Furniture in poor condition, limited number of pillows, no coffee/tea, toilet seat not the right shape for toilet bowl, very poor lighting, room walls very dark and the list goes on. Would not stay here again. The only redeeming feature was that the front desk clerk was friendly.

The motel and the room were old and badly in need of updating. The shower was very small and there was no tub. The toilet lid did not fit on the bowl. We had prepaid but we opted not to stay anyway.

The bed was broken. The baseboard heater had never been cleaned. The bathroom was so small we left the door open so we had room to move. We had no heat, it didn’t work.
