10/10 Excellent
"We booked Travelers Inn as a stop during our road trip across Canada and were pleasantly surprised by how much we enjoyed our stay. It was reasonably priced, located just outside the main touristy area, and conveniently close to gas stations, fast-food restaurants, and other essentials. When we first arrived, we were a little concerned because we couldn't find a check-in area. We called the number listed on our booking and were directed to the Travelodge lobby, which was almost directly across the street, so it wasn't an issue at all. The attendants at the Travelodge were very friendly and helpful. Once we received our key card and entered our room, we were very happy with it. It was an efficiency-style room with everything we needed, including a mini fridge, microwave, table with two chairs, double bed, large TV, and a clean, spacious bathroom. We were also pleasantly surprised by how quiet the room was, especially since it was right next to the street. The bed was comfortable, and the shower had great water pressure, which is always a bonus! Overall, this was a convenient, comfortable, and reasonably priced place to stay. We've already added Travelers Inn to our list for our yearly road trip!"

"Can’t say enough good things. The location, cabin, amenities, the hosts…all incredible. We had magical moments…dock jumping, swimming, paddle boarding, watching stars and partial lunar eclipses. The cabin is in an amazing location on the water and super quiet. We were greeted almost daily by hawks, loons and eagles. Sublime! To find a pet friendly and quality location like this was a win. Our family of four and 2 dogs are restored and rested. Thank you for choosing us."
