We stayed at the North Star Inn on our way to Newfoundland and it was the perfect location. You are only 2 minutes from the ferry. The staff were friendly and very helpful. The rooms were clean and spacious. more

This place is a dump! Dirty,dingy and smelly. Mattresses are long overdue for replacement and the sheets were so thin you could see through them. The carpet was filthy. Air conditioner didn't work properly . What a horific experience. Never again stay there even if it were a free offering. Best Western would be well advised to inspect this facility... more

Hated it.

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

Like most other guests, my wife & I stayed here prior to taking the ferry to Newfoundland. The best I can say is that the accomodations are just adequate. 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

This hotel, as noted by the other reviewers, is located right next to the ferry terminal to Newfoundland, which is essential if you have to leave very early in the morning for the ferry. The hotel is average - clean but nothing special. I think they know they don't really need to try very hard to get customers. Our AC... more

This hotel is the most convenient to the Newfoundland ferry. Be very sure to request a room that does not face the parking lot. Groups of motorcyclists frequently use this hotel, arise at 3:30 am and run motors in the parking lot for a couple of hours. 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
