Basic accommodation but extremely comfortable and very clean. Well worth the price. We will definitely stay here again. Lovely location on the lake. Linens and towels are a higher standard than one would expect. We did not hear any noise from the highway.

Iroquois Falls, Canada173 contributions195 helpful votes
A wonderful place to lay your head! My husband and I were travelling from Iroquois Falls (northeastern Ontario) to Quebec City via Montreal. We got on the road around 8pm after I'd gotten off work heading south to North Bay. When we arrived in North Bay, both of my usual haunts were booked...so I turned to TripAdvisor to find the next suitable stay along the highway. I called the Welcome Inn while in North Bay to confirm they had a room available and continued the 40 minutes along Hwy 17. Arrival at the motel was late... nearly midnight. We were greeted by a lovely and personable young lady. She confirmed that we were the ones who called ahead as it was their last available room and check in was a breeze! Paid for the room (+/- 100/night +tax) and provided a credit card for a damage deposit and we were off to our room. Typical 1950's drive up motel. Rooms were adequate in size, clean and quiet! I had a nice hot shower after an evening of travel, a cold beer as supplied by myself (ice was not apparently available... however I'm sure they'd have obliged had we asked) and we retired to a comfortable bed and some satellite television. We left late (around 1030 am) and we're only mildly inconvenienced by the lack of in room coffee by about 1 km. Tim Hortons is just down the road and sure beats the typical powdered creamer found in hotel rooms anyway. Locked our room, drove the 150' to the office, deposited the key in a locked drop box and were on our way. All in all another example of an older, well kept family dream. Would absolutely recommend to anyone passing through, or spending time in Mattawa. I've traveled extensively throughout Canada and places like this should be celebrated. Many thanks to our hosts for their hospitality. Holding our room on a phone call and my word of commitment at 11 on a Thursday night in the summer was incredible to say the very least!!! We're so pleased to have been able to stay with you ❤️❤️❤️

It’s more than just a motel or inn. This place is spacious. I booked a lake view cabin by Earl’s lake for two nights. My family had a great time paddle boarding and fishing. The room was very clean and contained almost everything you need for a vacation. It was a great stay.

This inn is on a lovely setting and the woman at the desk was very friendly and helpful , however there is a lot lacking. For example there is no coffee maker and no restaurants close by, the absolute minimum should be a pot of coffee in the office. We were in an efficiency unit with a fridge and hot plate, but there were no dishes, utensils, salt & pepper etc. They need some comfortable outdoor seating, and the time should use some basic decor like a picture on the wall. The air conditioning was a good newer unit but the vertical aluminum bookings hang in front of it.

We stayed for a family reunion weekend. Our room was clean, comfortable and quiet. The owners were very friendly, welcoming and helpful. The view of the lake was spectacular and so peaceful. The chip truck on the property was a great feature and the food was very good. We will definitely book again for next year and would highly recommend this motel to others! Andrea

The place is indeed on a lake and the bed itself was "okay". The room was relatively clean, smelled a bit like frebreeze or something when we first checked in. The room was marketed as non-smoking but clearly at some point hadn't been because the nightstand and the bathroom counter both had cigarette burn marks. No alarm clock or coffee machine in the room, coffee is available down the street at Tim Horton's. Couple of strands from the mop left hung up on the doorstop in the bathroom,etc.. Lots of noise coming through from the room next door at 10 o'clock at night. Overall the price is low and the place was reasonably clean but coffee in the morning is kind of a must for me so I probably wouldn't stay here again.

Mark took care of us very good, great view, right on the lake, close to Mattawa, North Bay and Samuel De Champlain park. Must see. Clean rooms, frig, microwave, good shower and inexpensive. Great Value This is all about location, cheap, quiet and close to everything. Waking up and looking at the fog on Earl's lake was soothing and beautiful Fabian

I was concerned about booking this place because of few reviews, but I needn't have worried. It's a classic court-style motel situated well back from the road with a lovely lake in its backyard. The place is old but well maintained and clean. Our room had two double beds, a table with chairs, a small fridge and a microwave; it was quiet and we got a good night's sleep for a very reasonable price. Free wifi, too!
