The hotel is showing its age, carpet and hallways had a musty smell. Beds are the old spring mattress and not very comfortable. ##### Linda Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2025 ### 4/10 Poor #### Kyle 20 Oct 2025 Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities Room was fine. Wish i was told i would have to pay an additional 100 dollars on check in. Been to many hotels and this is the first time ive had to pay anything like that. Typically the cars would be charged AFTERWARDS and only if any damages were done. Very unlikely ill be back solwly because of that. ##### Kyle Stayed 1 night in Oct 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sylvie 4 Sept 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities It was a short stay but very nice clean and food was very good ##### Sylvie Stayed 1 night in Sep 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Bria 30 Sept 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Staff was very friendly and rooms were very clean and comfortable ##### Bria Stayed 1 night in Sep 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sandra 15 Sept 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Great location. ##### Sandra Stayed 1 night in Sep 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Scott 19 Sept 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Great hotel with friendly staff Great little pub attached with Michael who is one of the best bartenders in NS. ##### Scott Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Luigia 9 Mar 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The kids loved the pool ##### Luigia Stayed 1 night in Mar 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Rishabh 7 Sept 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Holiday Inn Sydney should think of renovating their property specifically their room amenities, toilets inside the rooms as they were too old or may be from 70’s. No complimentary water bottle was provided or a jar or glass was kept and no cream or milk was available for morning tea or coffee. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/91eb7ac9-fb8e-4307-a4de-ae418407645a-1757285092368.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/5a6ddd40-8a19-42e9-8be3-332451a432cf-1757285115265.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Rishabh Stayed 1 night in Sep 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Sherri 30 Aug 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service The hotel is showing its age but was being upgraded. The location was great. Easily walkable to the harbour front and restaurants in the area. Our room overlooked the harbour - beautiful! Upon arrival there were 2 people at the check in desk - one was on the phone and the other was talking to a colleague about work. Once the colleague left, the check in clerk continued with work and we were left waiting without any acknowledgement. He seemed preoccupied. The lounge staff were welcoming and friendly. Beds were comfy. Hotel was quiet. Overall our staff was nice. ##### Sherri Stayed 1 night in Aug 2025 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Baker Creek By Basecamp](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lake-Louise-Hotels-Baker-Creek-Mountain-Resort.h7710611.Hotel-Information) > > [Long Beach Lodge Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Tofino-Hotels-Long-Beach-Lodge-Resort.h1892359.Hotel-Information) > > [Fairmont Jasper Park Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Jasper-Hotels-Fairmont-Jasper-Park-Lodge.h24928.Hotel-Information) > > [Pine Bungalows](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Jasper-Hotels-Pine-Bungalows.h37405792.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Express Pembroke by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Pembroke-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-Pembroke.h5598436.Hotel-Information) > > [Pyramid Lake Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Jasper-Hotels-Pyramid-Lake-Resort.h487039.Hotel-Information) > > [Black Rock Oceanfront Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Tofino-Hotels-Black-Rock-Oceanfront-Resort.h2432309.Hotel-Information) > > [Glacier House Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Revelstoke-Hotels-Glacier-House-Resort.h2832756.Hotel-Information) > > [Emerald Lake Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Golden-Hotels-Emerald-Lake-Lodge.h191535.Hotel-Information) > > [Alpine Meadows Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Clearwater-Hotels-Alpine-Meadows-Resort.h12489764.Hotel-Information) > > [The Crimson Jasper](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Jasper-Hotels-The-Crimson-Jasper.h28261.Hotel-Information) > > [Alt Hotel Halifax Airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Halifax-Hotels-Alt-Hotel-Halifax-Airport.h6159326.Hotel-Information) > > [Lake Louise Inn](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lake-Louise-Hotels-Lake-Louise-Inn.h74992.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Express Whitby by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Oshawa-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-Whitby.h456085.Hotel-Information) > > [Sun Peaks Grand Hotel & Conference Centre](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kamloops-Hotels-Sun-Peaks-Grand-Hotel-Conference-Centre.h888272.Hotel-Information) > > [Tonquin Inn](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Jasper-Hotels-Tonquin-Inn.h6709279.Hotel-Information) > > [Marmot Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Jasper-Hotels-Marmot-Lodge.h28260.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Express & Suites Chatham South by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Chatham-Kent-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-Suites-Chatham-South.h3920854.Hotel-Information) > > [Chateau Jasper](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Jasper-Hotels-Chateau-Jasper.h10253.Hotel-Information) > > [Jasper Inn & Suites by INNhotels](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Jasper-Hotels-Jasper-Inn-Suites-By-Sunrise.h32667087.Hotel-Information) > > [Whistler's Inn](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Jasper-Hotels-Whistlers-Inn.h920356.Hotel-Information) > > [Forest Park Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Jasper-Hotels-Sawridge-Inn-Jasper.h126160.Hotel-Information) > > [Sunshine Mountain Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sunshine-Hotels-Sunshine-Mountain-Lodge.h894279.Hotel-Information) > > [Harrison Hot Springs Resort and Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Chilliwack-Hotels-Harrison-Hot-Springs-Resort-And-Spa.h553971.Hotel-Information) > > [Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lake-Louise-Hotels-Fairmont-Chateau-Lake-Louise.h22503.Hotel-Information) > > [Penticton Lakeside Resort and Conference Centre](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Penticton-Hotels-Penticton-Lakeside-Resort-And-Conference-Centre.h17500.Hotel-Information) > > [Moberly Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Golden-Hotels-Moberly-Lodge.h11765247.Hotel-Information) > > [Castle Mountain Chalets](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Castle-Junction-Hotels-Castle-Mountain-Chalets.h6508769.Hotel-Information) > > [Banff Gate Mountain Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Canmore-Hotels-Banff-Gate-Mountain-Resort.h5900828.Hotel-Information)
