If what you are looking for is a smelly, dirty, old thin bed linen, gross pool, and staff that don't know what customer service is. This is the place for you. Me and my husband travel 2/3 time a year, all around the world and this place ranks on our top 5 worst places to stay. more

This hotel is very conveniently located near the Newfoundland ferry terminal. We requested a view of the harbour, and were given a room (without the extra charge for the view, maybe because it's off-season??) that was spacious and comfortable. It has all the basic amenities including wireless internet service, and a very basic decor. The rate of $80 is reasonable... more

We were travelling in a small tour group. The hotel is desperately in need of some updating. The moment we entered the hallway leading to our room, the smell of stale cooking odours greeted us. The air conditioner in our room was not functioning properly, and the smell in our room was obnoxious, so we opened the window only to... more

The hotel conveys a sense of shabbiness in that there are few amenities that you would normally expect., shampoo, etc. The lamp above the bed had no lightbulb and the free... more

If you cannot get a room away from parking lot would recommend alternate... more

Be sure to make a reservation as this place is filled mostly by people leaving in the morning on the ferry to Newfoundland or returning from there late at night. Our room was quite nice. more

We stayed one night at this hotel prior to taking the Marine Atlantic ferry out of North Sydney. This hotel is located right on the hill above the ferry terminal so it literally takes 5 minutes to get in the line-up (make sure you make reservations for the ferry ahead of time...). The dining room meals were good and the... more

The Beautiful North Star Inn (now part of the Best Western Chain) is the place to say on the Northside of Cape Breton. Just moments from the Newfoundland Ferry, this lovely hotel overlooks the beautiful Sydney Harbor. The rooms are lovely and spacious. The service is excellent. The hotel offers and indoor pool and great workout facilities. The food is... more
