Basic, clean room, very quiet location. Good price, seems to be American owned and operated which is rare these days. Staff friendly and informative. Bed, pillows comfortable, good water pressure. Internet worked just fine. Will definitely stay at the Northern Queen Inn again.

“Great Staff, Rough Stay” My room wasn’t ready at check-in, and when I finally got in, it was still dirty. There was also no internet the entire time. The staff were the only good part of the experience—they were helpful and kind despite everything else not working.

The carpet in the room was disgusting. My feet turned black after walking barefoot in the room. Under the bed was disgusting and not cleaned. Coffee maker not cleaned out. The grounds were scenic but the rooms are very dirty.

Lovely grounds and super close to town - nice easy walk. Accommodation was perfectly acceptable for what I paid - rooms are looking a little tired and could do with a little update - no issues here. However, I arrived a 2.10pm, after a 3 hour drive and was informed check in was at 3pm - parking lot had 4 cars - hotel was empty. For 27 ish bucks I could check in right now - my room was ready to go I was informed. I declined and waited outside for 50 mins. For this reason alone I will never stay here again! Other than that - the overall stay was perfectly fine

The area is very nice and beautiful. I do not recommend staying at this place. When I first got in, I inspected my room and I found a pair of boxers in the bathroom on the floor. The water pressure in the shower was horrible, it barley has water coming out of the shower head. I literally had to crouch under the shower head to shower. Half of the power outlets stopped working and I almost had the contents in my refrigerator go bad. I had to call the front desk to reset the breaker. In the room that my other family members were in, the headboard fell out of the wall when gently pushing the mattress against the wall. Their bathroom door was a sliding door and the door got stuck because it came off the track and I had a family member stuck in the bathroom for almsot half an hour. In that room there was a huge knot under the carpet that made us all almost trip multiple times. Roomservice never came to clean during our stay.dhousekeeping. We will not be staying here again.
