Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
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.

Lockview Motel is great!

This motel is a diamond in the rough. It is old school cool and very cozy inside. The locks are directly across the street and so many nice restaurants and stores are within walking distance. Rooms are super cute and had hot water for showers. We will definitely be back.

As other reviews have stated the motel is quite dated and in need of a fair bit of TLC. The staff looked to be doing the best with what they had to work with. The location however can't be beat, the motel is in the heart of downtown and within easy walking distance of nearly all the local attractions.

Love this little gem! Just wish there were sheer curtains behind the black out curtains on the king rooms so I didn’t have to have the blackout curtains closed all day so people couldn’t look in since I was on the first floor! Made it feel a little claustrophobic

Located right across the street from the Soo locks. Great restaurant adjacent to the motel. We stayed in one of the cottage rooms. The bathroom was a little cramped but great water pressure and lots of hot water. Bed was extremely comfortable. Chairs not so much, but they looked cool. We would stay there again if in the area.
