Just a stone's throw from the U.S.-Canadian border, this motel is a great place to stopover whenever we visit Nova Scotia. All rooms are on the ground floor and are adequately appointed and quiet. The included breakfast provides a great variety, making this a great value.

Not a bad place but be cautious when making reservations. THey want a 24 hour advance in case you need to cancel. Ridiculous. Almost all places only need cancellations before 6pm. Rooms were decent but the Internet service was beyond horrible. All in all, nothing to write home about.

Ivey's is a clean facility with great staff. Jackie in the Pub was extremely nice and helpful about the local restaurants. Free wifi is always a bonus. It's a spot my father always uses on his way to Canada from Massachusetts. Good experience, overall.

If you are looking for a quiet and clean overnight spot, this is a good one. The rooms have microwave and minibar for your convenience. The hotel is located right off the Interstate and is close to several dining options. Cheap, clean, and comfy.
