Recently renovated, this place was well equipped and perfect for our group (3 adults) who were traveling Cape Breton during the day and resting here at night. The location is in a quiet area of Sydney Mines and a quick drive to restaurants, groceries, fuel, and the coast. Patricia, the host, was in close contact with us and made sure everything was smooth! Highly recommend and if we are in the area again we would definitely rebook.
