This a well kept property, Superb beds and linen very comfortable However i regret to not the innkeeper does not excude either hospitality ofr civility. Was surprised that the owner ( Presume was curt terse and almost discourteous. We did not even ask for anything extra-Asked for a 2 bed room were told it cost more and we declined politely. Nevertheless check in un welcoming perhaps a tuff day!! Having said that the room was better than expected. Clean well maintained and comfortble and everything else. Perhaps they were having a bad day,

Great for quick trips/place to sleep. Nice owner!
It was a good place to stay for a couple of nights. The bed was not extremely comfortable but not horrible either. I was pretty cold both nights but when I turned the heater on it was too loud so I couldn’t sleep with it on either. Location is pretty central and parking is free. Overall, it was a great stay for having a place to crash! Would recommend for quick trips to north bay. The owner is super nice and accommodating as well.
Spacious and clean. Has all necessities.
Great water pressure & hot water.

Worst Costumer Service
It was the worst costumer service I have ever experienced. The person who worked at the Inn scolded me as if I were a child and treated me like I had no intelligence whatsoever. I highly recommend NEVER staying here.

Good sleep, but limited breakfast
The bed was quite comfortable and we slept very well. Two problems: 1) there was NO small desk to use for my laptop, though the wi-fi worked quite well. I had to sit the computer on a tiny rotating little "kid desk" on a lounge chair. 2) Somehow the TV never went to the normal channels and we finally gave up on getting even local news. Someone from the motel could have fixed it ... if they'd been sent after we told them the problem. The breakfast was limited, just some granola bars and muffins but nothing "hot" like waffles, eggs, or the like. Bob T.

Although it was never a concern, I wouldn’t walk around the neighborhood at night. It’s probably because I’m old . the room is fine. No problems.

My only issue was with parking...they had no oversized parking available. Not all their fault...I should've checked before booking. And I won't be towing a trailer the next time I stay.

We arrived after 10pm and had to stand outside talking to the worker through a bullet proof glass. This made us feel uneasy. We checked in and the room was clean. The furniture was outdated and they had a hole in the wall. We were a family of four. We were charged a fee for our children, however they only had two towels in the room. My husband went to ask for two towels and was told the towels were in the laundry room. They don’t leave the office after 10. My husband asked if the neighborhood was safe. They said it was, but the worker refusing to leave or accommodate was concerning. We left at 6am so we never got our towels even though they charged an extra $20 per additional person. That never sat well with me. However the room was clean and a bed for the night as we needed to continue our road trip.
