I had a pleasant stay at the City Of Sails Motel. the location was ideal for my visit to North Shore Hospital, just a short walk away. The room was clean and had more kitchenette facilities than I expected, although the mattress was not as comfy as my last visit. Overall, a good experience with a few minor issues.

I stayed in a Superior Studio. it provided a good size, with a ceiling fan that was great. However, the wardrobe space was short and I wished there was a hook on the wall for my dress.

I had a pleasant 3-night stay overall at the City of Sails Motel. The location was fantastic, especially being so close to North Shore Hospital, which made things super convenient. The room was clean, spacious, and came with comfy beds, but I did encounter some ants in the kitchen and noisy neighbors during the first night. Overall, I would rate my experience an 8.0.

I had a good overall experience at City of Sails Motel, primarily thanks to the excellent location and friendly service. However, there were a few drawbacks, such as an old musty smell in my room and some cleanliness issues in the bathroom that left me wanting more. Overall, I would rate my stay a solid 7 out of 10. 😊

I had a generally positive stay at the City Of Sails Motel. The room was beautiful and well-prepared (I chose the Executive Studio with Spa Bath), and the staff was incredibly helpful. However, the bathroom showed some wear (cracked sink and loose tiles), which was disappointing. Despite these minor issues, I'd still recommend it for its convenient location and excellent service.

I had an overall positive experience at City Of Sails Motel, particularly for its convenient location just a short walk from North Shore Hospital. The mattress wasn't quite as comfortable as my previous stay, but the pillows really stood out this time. While I appreciated the kitchenette for cooking meals, I wished for a bit more attention to cleanliness in some areas.
