“A good accommodation.”
It was clean and kind. I stayed for a day because my son had a soccer game, and it was a really great experience. Next time I visit Cape Breton, I will stay here again.

I loved the quilted covers on the beds. They were colourful and seemed hand crafted. Also appreciated the goody bag upon arrival....Wagon Wheels so yummy :).

“Excellent Value near University.”
The property is 1950s era however the couple who own the property are very proud owners who go out of their way to ensure you are comfortable. The one-floor vintage motel is on sizeable acreage near to CBU.

“A very comfortable two-night stay with everything I needed.”
I had wonderful and friendly welcome from the owners (and cat Mickey) and they remembered my first name and used it whenever they saw me. The property is out of town between Sydney and Glace Bay but is close to amenities and convenient for the highway.
