Look for another place.
Room smelt musty and moody. Very outdated. When we opened the hide-a-bed, there were bugs. Would not stay there again or recommend it.

We had to change room due to mold in the bathroom. We got another room without a problem but had to ask to get the refrigerator moved too. No microwave or coffee in the room. Great location with very nice people but the inn needs a lot of work. On the plus side the Jake’s restaurant inside the motel was very very good.

The motel is in need of renovation. The outside door was missing the deadbolt lock, and only had a basic door knob lock. We chose this motel for its closeness to Fort Louisbourg, but should have just stayed in Sydney. Not worth the $150/night

We stayed one night as a stop over for louisburg fort and cabot trail. Room was clean, but dated, a/c worked, and for what we needed ( a 1 night stop over) it was fine. This is not the Hilton, so dont expect it to be. It is the only inn in town and for the price point was fine for our family
