Room was clean but oddly designed. The air conditioner was directly above the bed. Parking was very cramped. I was on the ground floor so whenever anybody walked around in the room above me, the floor squeaked loud enough to wake me.

This motel is smack-dab across from the internationally-known Sault Locks. It's been in its location easily 50 years: as "retro" as you can get! It has a tropical "cabana" vibe and has one of the best "free" breakfasts on Portage Ave. It's economical, offers a discount for meals at the restaurant by the same name nextdoor (but unrelated venue), and walkable to just about anything: pubs, ice cream, the Locks Visitor Center, everything that makes the Soo fun. I can't wait to go back.

The room was nice, breakfast was sufficient; had choices of hot items and cold items. The room could have used two chairs and a small table instead of a recliner. The "up dating" of the room really needed to be finished. Adding a few hooks on the wall behind the door opening would be nice, also in the corner by one of the beds. There was absolutely no where to hang a wet jacket, shirt or anything for that matter. Put batteries in the wall clock. Bathroom was sufficient but no ventilation as the window does not open.

I'd been waiting 50 years to stay here! A fabulous little "tourist" motel complex literally across the street from the Soo Locks. As a child on vacation, my parents would drive by this modest venue on our way into Ontario to fish and etc. Our destination was never the Soo proper ... But it was mine, last week! Yes, the walls are thin and the venue itself is "retro" all the way, but the people are friendly and, honestly, compared to the two Wyndham properties I stayed stayed at on the same trip --- THIS independent had the a better free breakfast than the "fancy" hotel down the street. Furthermore, the Lockview Restaurant next door, even though not part of the same outfit, will give you a discount if you're staying at the Motel. And the food there is VERY good and generous. I'll be back here, for sure.
