The Bon Air used to be the go to motel in Timmins years ago. In terms of a motel this is a big property with over 100 rooms. You can drive right up to your door. The rooms are date and in need of refurbishment. Local drunks hang out and about as it is right downtown and is situated off the main travelled areas so they drink in front of rooms and make noise all night. Hotel seems indifferent to it. Not a safe or desirable place for a lone woman traveller and for men this is a run down property not worthy of your business. Newer hotels have made their debut in Timmins so this should be the last place you stay.

I have stayed at the Bon Air many times bec, and must let you know that it is an old hotel (probably from the 70's). It's comfortable though, and clean - I've never had an issue with the cleanliness of the phone. As well, parking in front of your room can be a plus sometimes.

As stated in a previous comment regarding the first nation people, I personally find this offensive and a sad commentary on our social attitudes in 2012. I have travelled to many different countries and stayed in many different hotels that have had rowdy people of all nationalities.

The rooms have been renovated, its close to a place to eat and it is close to the down town core. Staying at the Bon Air has been a staple since I was a kid. It has always been the obvious place to go for me. However during the last 3 years, my visits have all been negative experiences. Some clerks acted like they didn't like speaking to me, my tub wasn't washed, a coffee mug had lipstick on it upon my arrival, I found other peoples hair on my sheets and the staff didn't help out when people are getting drunk and/or being terrible neighbors. My last visit when someone decided to smoke drugs in their room and the smell entered my room, the front desk told me to open a window and didn't at least try to help the situation. I was very glad my children didn't accompany me that time. I tried to be a loyal costumer and am sad to say that I wont be staying there anymore.

I think this was by far the worst stay I had in my travels.
It started with the little incident that I almost got stuck on the Property before I reached the Office because of snow on the ground. In any other place I have been in Canada people actually plow!
Of course they gave me a room almost at the end of the property and I barely made it there. The room was pretty outdated. The only good was that the Bathroom looked new and clean.
After getting settled I find out that the remote for the TV does not work, called reception just to hear that I can come to the office to pick up another one ( great Service). Any other place someone would have come over with another remote and check if it works! So, I went to the Office to find 2 pretty unfriendly women behind the desk and of course they had to look for the remotes. Again, I barely made to my room and had a really hard time parking the car because of all the snow. Yes, you guessed it, the second remote did not work either. I gave up on the TV.
The worst part was that I was woken up 3 or 4 times by people kicking the walls( most likely they tried to get the Snow off their boots) or knocking like idiots on Doors. I don't talk about the normal knock, knock, knock here, they were knocking for over 10 min at a time. Called reception again and nothing was done. I think all the noise finally stopped at 4am!
Left the room at 9:30am and even more snow was on the ground and nobody really plowing. On my way to the office I got stuck and had to be dug out by a tracor and a guy with a shovel!
Friendliness and service is something you will not find here.

The girl at the front desk trying to be kind she put us in a room where we could park our car outside the room. The accommodation was find room was large and clean. However
We were in room 101, room 100 where occupied by 3 first nation males and room 102 was occupied by 3 first nations females. The party started at 6:00 pm and continued. Trying to sleep through breaking glass, pounding on walls and doors swearing, eventually at 3:00am no less than 4 police cars where on the scene attempting to gain access. After a considerable amount of shouting and loud voices all way quiet at 3:45 am the police departed. At 4:00 the scene erupted again, we lost our cool went outside and confronted the abusers. Only to be met by verbal abuse, we showered, cleaned the broken beer bottles from around our vehicle, and departed. Do not stay there!!!

We decided to try a stay at this hotel today because it was so close to the fireworks festival going on this week. Prices online listed rooms for 115$ We decided to just stop in and see what kind of price we can get at the desk seeing as the lot was empty and the lady at the desk said same room was 169$ and admitted she was raising it because of the festival. We should have booked online grrrr!! She would have had to honor the price. She would not even budge! Sad thing is the price to book online is still 115. All other local hotels private and chains had lower advertised prices. Poor customer service and a bad example of price gougeing. Got an amazing room down the street at a reasonable price instead.

Travelling to the North one week a month for work. I have problems with my allergies. At Bon Air, I am able to have a brand new room with hardwood floor and a fully equiped kitchen. It is wonderful, I have a tv in the kitchen and one in my bedroom. The cost is less than other properties in Timmins. The staff is also very accomodating. So I found the right place for me.

Room was clean and friendly service. Travelling on motorcycle and park right to the door. No place to sit outside, view was very industrial like. There was too much local traffic walking through the un-secure parking lot, even after the store were closed. Felt unsafe.

Stayed a night on business. The room in cell block D was recently renovated, clean, new toilet and tiles. The bed was lumpy but firm. The noises from parked running transports at the motel parking lot and unloading all night at the grocery store next door are almost as annoying as the retro icemaker in the back hall that needs new bearings and rattles all night long. Otherwise an ok place, however the rooms are just as much here as at the new major chain hotels in town. Parking at your door is convenient.
