Located right off the boat dock in North Sydney. The outside was presentable and rooms were clean. The restaurant had a good view and looked nice but we didn't eat there. We checked in at 2:30 am and wanted to get on the road at a decent hour. On the down side, there were stains on the carpets. the linens... more

We had arrived on a very late ferry...4am and were greated by a friendly young lady at the front desk. She was courteous and efficient getting us checked in and to our room which I appreciated having two young children with me. The room was comfortable and clean and unlike other reviews I have read it was equipped as suggested... more

Our ferry was delayed so we took refuge in this hotel, since it was the only one with rooms available. We got a smoking Jr. Suite, since there were no non-smoking regular rooms available. The "Jr. Suite" was supposed to have a fridge and microwave but didn't but since the ones underneath us did both floors were upcharged. We had... more

We stayed at this hotel as it is close to the Newfoundland ferry. It was the worst hotel I have ever stayed at. The staff was awful, there were dead bugs in the hall, you could smell the chemicals as it had just been sprayed, the room was dirty, it had a coffee maker and nothing to go with it.... more

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
