This Motel is not how it is made out to be on this site. The room was ok but just ok. The “bar” and restaurant were awful. There were intoxicated people racing around the parking lot until 4:00am blaring music etc. the staff were no where to be found. The only way this place has the ratings it does on this site is by ownership doing it themselves. It is a two star place at best…..more like a one star

The newly renovated bathrooms were why we chose this location. After a few days of rustic accommodations, I was looking forward to a great shower and a soft clean bed. I hadn't realized the restaurant was gone when I booked it though. It's a bar/ pizza place now. The pizza was good, but it's a shame the old kitchy place is gone.

The motel was dated but our room was renovated. The bed was comfortable and the room was clean on the surface. It could use some cleaning of the window and baseboards. The towels and linens were nice. Overall satisfactory.

Priced high for a small town motel.

The outside siding is being updated, the car park area is okay. The marina is behind the motel and offers a nice walk about. The rooms have been upgraded and are quite good, the king bed was comfortable, the flooring very nice. The shower curtain was mouldy at the bottom and needs replacing with a detachable bottom as in other hotels, also a curved shower rod would be a good idea. The tub/shower had a mat for safety, just be careful since the floor tiles are high gloss. I was expecting something more for the price, but as with everything since Covid, the prices aren’t coming down. The owner was okay but could maybe be a little more engaging, if I ran a small service business, I would be super friendly to encourage more business. There is a restaurant but we decided to share the business with another local business. The WiFi was touch and go but we managed.

This is an older motel with refurbished suites. Spotlessly clean with gorgeous new bathrooms. If you are looking for hotel-like service like room service, this is not for you. The restaurant has great food, awesome staff. I found the room quite quiet even though the motel was full. It is centrally located with lots of home style food nearby. We went to the Bruce Mines Fall Fair and thoroughly enjoyed it. It was a great trip overall.

Quiet retrieve.

This motel is located in a quiet village. Nonetheless, it is located right by the marina and a two minute walk to a very splendid museum. At the museum staff give you an insightful tour, and near by are beautiful trails. We stayed two nights to decompress after a long journey. The owner is very nice and accommodated us with dogs, and was very reasonable. There are also a few lovely shops to meadier about if you would like to. We would stay again for an overnight before making the next leg to Thunder Bay from the London area again. Thank you!
