I got bitten by a bed bugs here. The floor was sandy and dirty. There was a long black hair in the sink that is not mine. The sheets had sand and/or bed bug droppings in them and there was a cigarette burn on my sheets. I texted the after hours number and there was no reply. Keep driving and try somewhere else. The cheapest motel for a reason in the region.

Continued an extra hour down the Highway

There is absolutely no reason the desk clerk should be taking pictures of guests ID’s. Checked in but didn’t stay. Room faced the highway and traffic was not quiet. Was unable to secure door at back side of room as it was locked from other side (no idea who/what door accessed). Overall, did not feel very secure with the check in.

Good affordable large room, clean, convenient parking. TV and fridge work well. Noisy being right beside the Trans Canada highway, but that's not the hotel's fault. Mattress was lumpy and not very comfortable.

I showed up got my room and the hot tub had no cold water going through it I mentioned it to the front desk host he got me a new room and rectified it immediately it was a little cold because it was a room not ready for me but he rectified that immediately by giving me a heater and anything I needed throughout my stay which was pretty well a week long he was more than gracious to help me with anything I needed his name is Kuldeep such a nice polite and helpful young man just keep in mind Spanish is a one horse town and I think horse died a while ago everything closes by 9:00 and as I say everything is the corner store and the restaurant down the road but if you do want a killer Burger check out the restaurant down the road it's called North Channel pizza and grill try their burger a company it with some cheddar cheese balls you will not be disappointed but all in all Spanish River Inn will accommodate you for what it is and as I said Kuldeep is the name of the young man that runs it and he will go above and beyond to make sure your stay is accommodating for that I give it a full five stars for what it is

If you don’t mind the 70’s decor and just need a place to rest your head, this place is fine. Bathroom in need of updates due to the spalling and mildew laden caulking and yellowed 70s tiles. Parking lot not plowed. Only myself and another room occupied and I was placed right next door despite there being many other rooms apparently vacant.

Its a really resonable place. Manager is a nice guy, he opened door for us even at 11pm as we were travelling from far away. Highly recommended especially for people travelling long distance. Prices are affordable plus refundable one night before. Thanks for bug free experience which I was really worried about after reading bad reviews at first. Will return soon.

Little hole in the wall spot - good for a night when passing through northern Ontario. Would not book a trip around the location. There isn’t much to eat and very few amenities. Just a bed to sleep in on route to bigger and better things

This motel was the worst one in our entire trip across Canada. We arrived and were hit with a musty chemical door reminiscent of an old basement. The carpet was stained and awful, the bathroom was not something I would clean myself in, the air conditioner was not something I would want to breath the air from. The smoke detector was encased with brown discolouration of some sort and had a dead wasp completely stuck to it, the chain lock latch was broken off the door frame as if the door was broken through. There was a door that you could not lock on the opposite side of the room that led to an unknown area. The door to outside didn’t have a proper lock at all, no deadbolt, no chain, just the lock on a doorknob much like that of a home bathroom. My husband and I couldn’t imagine sleeping in the room and felt immediately dirty when there. We took our baby and pet and left 30 minutes after arriving to our next town destination because there was no chance we were going to stay. I would not recommend anyone stay here.

I booked because reviews said although rundown, at least it was clean and the owners are trying. That is simply not true. Its deplorable. Disgusting and a complete slum. Dirty beyond belief. Literal spider webs across the door we had to break to get in. Toe nail clippings on the filthy,stained and cigarette burnt carpet. Black mold in the bathroom. Just absolutly awful. Not to mention the pitpull next doot looking in our window and the mini dirt bikes that the workers seem to use to get around. It truly is the worst, most derelict motel we ha e ever stayed in. Never ever again.

I was looking for a quick and convenient spot to spend the night while traveling. It had a clean bed, super easy parking and the staff was really nice. The bed while firmer than I would like, was possibly the most comfy I had on my trip. My understanding from other reviews is that this place is under new management and they are working on it. My room had some spiders living on the door. When the door first opened a few of them went into the room and settled in around the door. While I appreciate that spiders are a natural form of pest control, I didn't quite appreciate having them as roommates for the evening. The larger web on the outside door I had to duck under a bit to get in/out of the room. There was a huge spider on it, I've got a bit of a fear of spiders so there was no way I was going to be touching it. I was okay-ish with the spiders so as long as they kept to their side of the room. Some of them did, some I couldn't account for their location in the morning. There were some stains on the floor and the room smelled of WD30 which I assume was from some repairs that had been done. There was a second locked door leading to what I am assuming is a hall for staff. Having no key or deadbolt to block that door, I did end up moving a chair to block the door for added security. There wasn't a deadbolt on the main door which had been removed. Putting back deadbolts would add to the feeling of safety, especially for solo guests.
