AWFUL-AWFUL

This place should be taken out of Trip Advisor. We had a reservation and when we got to the place I thought my husband was pulling a "gotcha". It was awful on the outside and we decided it didn't look safe. If the outside was any example of how it was taken care of I can't imagne how awful it would be on the inside. WHAT IS TRIP ADVSOR THINKING?

After years of travelling this is the worst motel we have ever seen.

Cant rate this place ....too low. Booked thru Expedia People in town said thats been closed for a while none of their pictures were new maybe 20 years ago. some guy living there in a room. Manager laughed at my husband when we asked for a refund and Expedia wont help. Dont stay there ever and think twice about expedia............Aug.3/22 BEWARE!!!!!!!!!

Date of stay: August 2022

Room Tip: Dont Go here.....Dirty , looked closed restaurant looked like it was closed and in disrepair....

Pleasant stay

Service was friendly. Arrived late. Clean sheets and towels. That’s all was needed. Bed was a little sqeeky, but was ok to sleep on. Other than that it was an ok night. Possible chairs outside the rooms?

Never Again

When we arrived, the office door was locked. There was no one here for check in - had to call motel phone number. The manager, I think, although very nice, wasn’t in town but told me our room door was unlocked. The key was on the dresser. Had no wifi since needed password and I didn’t feel like calling him again. Property looks like an abandoned property - rundown, grass not cut yet this year. Pictures on website are misleading - restaurant not in operation for some time, no picnic tables or chairs or anything like on website. Room and bathroom clean, beds appeared clean but carpet not vacuumed in a long time (little black plastic bands everywhere) and mini fridge not working or if it was, we could not tell. 2 porcelain coffee cup but no coffee pot then realized there was no usual little plastic glasses anywhere in the room. We had a non-smoking room but it smelled like someone had smoked something in there. We booked thru Expedia and now we know why - this place is dying. When I booked, it said one room left - Ha! Lesson learned - never book thru Expedia again. Since no restaurant on property, bought dinner at very expensive food truck next door - Nibblers Fish and Chips. Food was very good but prices reminded me when we buy food at a football game stadium - 2 cheeseburgers and a small fry $31.05. Ridiculous.…

1-star is too many

Please read this if you ever consider going. I arrived late evening on June 17, tired after riding over 700 km and dropped. In the morning I stepped in the shower and the horror started. There was log hair on the tub, on the shower wall, in the sink, there was drier urine and pubic hair under the toile seat, on the toiled rim. Disgusting. I went and brought the guy at the reception, he said sorry, I don't know what maid did. I tell what she did, NOTHING! I was afraid to touch anything after that. Thar room was not cleaned. The guys appearance was not a flint better than the room. He was "representing" the place perfectly. Nothing was right. I asked for a non-smoking but the room stenched of tobacco or weed. Large burns of the carped and furniture, the bed was just made in a rush with stained cover sheets...lots of pictures attached No wonder I was the only person in the motel. There was another car when I woke up, that's it. Do yourself a favor and do not stay there. It is overpriced anyway for a road side motel and filthy! I had no choice as there was no other places in the area. Plan accordingly.…

Pet friendly, customer friendly

As I was looking for a central location while I spent the month touring the area. Spanish was central for touring and reconnecting with friends from the past. As well looking up the many Lions Clubs in surrounding areas. Central to Elliot Lake, Espanola, Sault St. Marie, Blind River, Little Current and many other small communities, lots of history. From Day one Diane and Steve made me and my dog Hunter feel right at home. Room was fresh, bed comfortable, washroom and amenities good. Hunter loved the dog treats and own towels. Lots of amenities near buy, groceries, take out food, banking and lots of history. Any issues that arose were quickly dealt with by management. Hunter and I will be back for sure. I had my own Covid self test kit that I used weekly, always negative.…

Better stay at the Y

Had to call, office not open. Told room # and it was unlocked, key in room, both doors were unlocked. Had required a NON-smoking room. Room smelled like smoking room, very powerful smell. Bedding smelled awful. NO hot water. Ran hot water tap in tub, sink and second tub for 10 minutes with no success. Called to cancel rest of stay due to family emergency. Was told to call booking agency and was given the run-around with them and hotel management. Ended up paying for the three days. No receipt. No other rooms were used at time of stay. Recommend staying elsewhere.

Better Dead than Staying Here

my best words can't describe this disaster ..... sleeping in a car with your dead dog would be healthier ... avoid at all costs .... avoid travel sites that would list such a place for it's customers ...... a negative 10 rating is what is appropriate .... D Gibson
