Overview
Located just north of Highway 101 and roughly a 3-minute drive from New Minas' city centre, the Slumber Inn New Minas is suited to business and leisure travellers who require a pet-friendly hotel with easy highway access and a complimentary breakfast (offered Monday through Friday).
This hotel has 80 air-conditioned suites, all of which offer one queen or two twin beds, free Wi-Fi, cable TV, a coffeemaker, a mini-fridge, a microwave, a desk, a hair dryer, and an iron and ironing board. The hotel offers coin laundry facilities, free parking, and a complimentary breakfast Monday through Friday. Pets stay free of charge, and the hotel does not offer wheelchair accessible rooms.
Dining is offered nearby at Chez Cora, Kao Restaurant, and Jungle Jim's which are all within a 4-minute drive northeast of the hotel. Shopping can be found at the Country Fair Mall (a 4-minute drive eastward), while Empire 7 Cinemas is a 4-minute drive north. Minilinks Family Entertainment Centre (located across the street) provides mini-putt and an arcade, and Halifax Stanfield International Airport (YHZ) is roughly an hour and 10-minute drive northwest. (All distances and travel time estimates: Google Maps)

The Good
The majority of reviews consulted for this analysis were positive with much praise going to the hotel's location, rooms, and staff.
Many guests were pleased with the hotel's location. They described it as being easy to find, central, providing easy highway access, and close to shopping restaurants, and a service station.
The hotel's accommodations were a source of numerous compliments by reviewers. They found their rooms to be clean and well-equipped, with comfortable beds and pillows. It should be noted however, that a few guests felt their rooms were too small, and a couple lodgers found the beds too small, as only twin beds and queen beds are available.
Several guests praised the hotel staff. They were characterized as accommodating, friendly, and helpful in providing information about local services and attractions. It should be noted however, that while the majority of reviewers had pleasant experiences with the staff, some guests found them to be unfriendly and unforthcoming with hotel information.
The Bad
While most of the reviews consulted for this analysis were positive, there were a couple of common complaints among them, which included noise transfer and cigarette odours.
While most reviewers found their rooms to be quiet, some complained of noise disturbances during their stay. They reported being able to hear talking, alarm clocks and TVs from adjacent rooms, as well as night staff in the hallways.
A few guests made mention of unpleasant cigarette odours. They noticed the odours in the hotel lobby, the hallways, as well as in non-smoking rooms.
