Wow....what a wonderful stay! My Dad and I came up from the Toronto area to visit family in Little Current. We've stayed a number of places in the area, and this is by far the best. We didn't need a cottage or cabin rental, or wilderness escape; we needed a clean, quiet, and comfortable place to stay after an 8hr... More

After being in Algolquin Prov. park ( so quiet and peaceful) then a few days in North Bay and Sudbury ( a bit manic) to stay in Manatawaning was bliss, and to stay with Bob and Maureen in My Friends Inn took it to another level. The welcome is genuine and sincere ( and not forgetting Dawn their trusty neighbour)... More

Three girlfriends and I booked a room at My Friends Inn so that we could partake in the local ladies' bonspiel. Our host was Dawn (as the owners were out of town) who couldn't have been more accommodating. Not only did Dawn make sure our room was perfect (which it was!) but she even drove us to the curling rink... More

When you drive up to a hotel/motel there is usually an immediate impression. When you drive up to My Friends Inn in Manitowaning you know without a doubt that this is a truly 'caring' establishment. You can feel it. Owner/Manager/Operators Maureen and Bob Friends were successful professionals in other fields in Southern Ontario when they fell under the spell of... More

I came to Manitoulin Island with four other volunteers from the University of Ottawa for four days to do outreach in the area. It was our first time visiting Manitoulin Island and My Friends Inn, and we didn't know what to expect. Based on other reviews of the Inn, I did have good expectations of the Inn, but all of... More

We stayed her because of all the other TripAdvisor reviews and they were spot on. The rooms were very clean and comfortable. Maureen waited up for us as we came in on the last ferry and she was very sweet as was her husband when I called to make the reservation. Her darling cat led the way when we arrived.... More

The motel is centrally located on the island, an approximately 20 minute drive from the ferry. There are only seven units in this clean family-run motel so I suggest making reservations well in advance. Our unit was spacious and well appointed. The motel owners were very helpful and took the time to suggest areas of interest and the various aspects... More

I booked this motel through internet. The owner-operator Maureen & her huband are very friendly , helpfull & knowledgeable people. They helped us to relax in welcoming manner & guided us to enjoy Manitulin island. We forgot some of our stuff in room while leaving & they came driving 20km to fairy terminal to give that back to us! I... More

This is an older motel that has been thoroughly rebuilt and modernized from the inside out, complete with fridge, microwave, TV, and a Tassimo coffee maker. Clean and comfortable, the owners, whose last name is also Friends, are very accommodating. All in all a very pleasant place to spend one or more nights.
