The first thing I thought when I walked into my room was "you've got to be kidding me." The second thing I thought was "this is exactly like the motels in horror movies." Smell: heavily musty and vaguely of urine. Furniture: ancient, and cheap and tacky even when it was new 40 years ago. Bedspread: you wouldn't even want to... more

This was chosen because of the kitchen facilities and proximity to a family wedding. The owners were very helpful, kind and hard working. The motel is old and does have a musty smell in the rooms. We were able to save by cooking in our rooms, and it was close to the wedding site. The owners went out of their... more

This is a very basic hotel. It needs an update. It is clean, but you should only go there if you want a very, very basic room with no extras. No coffee, no long distant calls, no wifi. more

The motel is by far the best in Sydney, The rooms are super clean. The proprietors are very, very friendly. The hospitality was superb. I asked for an extra pillow and got two. I certainly stay there longer next year. Wonderful 'home away from home' more

I have been travelling on business and staying at the Jacques Cartier Motel for the past 4 years. The proprietors have always treated myself and my business partner with the utmost respect and courtesy. The rooms are spotlessly clean, comfortable, and the showers are always consistant. Also, the motel is exceptionally quiet, considering it is off a main highway. Overall,... more

My wife and stayed here for 2 nights and it was by far one of the worst motels we've ever stayed at - very musty and old - appears as though there has been few updates in over 20 years and for $200 for 2 nights it was certainly not worth it. The owner was rude to my wife and... more

This place is convenient if you're in a car - near the airport between Sydney and Glace Bay, and just down the road from the drive-in movie theatre. The facilities could do with an update, though - we had 70s wallpaper, the bed was small and uncomfortable and the TV remote and bedside lamp were both broken. Having said that,... more
