Stayed here for a hockey tournament . Out dated bathtub. When having a shower had to wait about five minutes for the hot water to kick in. And there was hardly any water pressure. Someone took our parking spot when it clearly stated that the spot was for guests only. Tried to eat at the Forest bar and Grill, was told if we never made a reservation it would be a 20 minute wait. So we eat somewhere else. And because of the fact there was a hockey tournament going on they jacked up the price on the room. I would never stay there again.

Thank you for your recent stay with us and for taking the time to send us your comments. We have undergone many Guest Room improvements over the past year including flooring, beds, TVs, bathroom pedestal sinks and low flush toilets ~ the Tubs are next on our list for sure! While we do our best to ensure parking is available right in front of Guest Rooms, we had a handicapped individual park in the closest spot to the Restaurant, which resulted in the rest of your Hockey Team mates each bumping over a spot, which ended in your spot being taken. I apologize for the inconvenience of you having to park towards the Lake. On Friday, February 14th, our Restaurant was very busy due to it being Valentine's Day, and falling on the Friday as well. We try to do our best to accommodate our Guests and apologize that you were not able to wait the 20 minutes for an available table. Once again, I Thank you for staying with us and apologize for your dissatisfaction. We certainly hope we can be of service in the future. (And just a side note: As with many Hotels, there is an extra charge when there are 4 People staying in one Guest Room) Regards, Gayle Hoey General Manager

It was so nice to be back at the Forest Inn for a short time. Gayle and Deni and their staff made my stay awesome as always. Very Clean, the restaurant has the best food and they always go the extra mile to accommodate. It was so nice seeing everyone. Hopefully it won’t be so long before my next visit. Would highly recommend staying at their wonderful Inn

Considering this place is on a major highway yet has the appeal of being out in the middle of nowhere, I was very impressed by what they offered and the cleanliness of the building itself. It has green tones through out. The pine look. Nice large front desk. I phoned ahead to book my room and was checked in in less than two minutes. Nice modern rooms where you can go down a hallway or walk right outside from your living room. Well looked after and I believe they have the power bars in the room so you can plug more than one item in the room on the same side of the bed. Would certainly stay here again. There is a Best Western across the street but the place is always full.

Very poor Wi-Fi, no iron and ironing board, small outdated bathroom with no counter space, do not offer nor promote corporate rate, air struggling to work. On the other hand, great restaurant and awesome view.

My partner and I moved to Sioux Lookout in the middle of winter with nowhere to live/stay. Our previous plan had fell through at the last minute when we pulled into town. We quickly made a stop at The Forest Inn where we talked to Gayle about our situation. Not only was she sympathetic but she was extremely helpful and gave us accommodations while we apartment hunted. The maintenance/cleaning staff were also kind and always made sure we had everything we needed. Our room and the grounds were extremely clean which made us feel right at home! Thank you to the team at Forest Inn!
