Priced high for a small town motel.

The outside siding is being updated, the car park area is okay. The marina is behind the motel and offers a nice walk about. The rooms have been upgraded and are quite good, the king bed was comfortable, the flooring very nice. The shower curtain was mouldy at the bottom and needs replacing with a detachable bottom as in other hotels, also a curved shower rod would be a good idea. The tub/shower had a mat for safety, just be careful since the floor tiles are high gloss. I was expecting something more for the price, but as with everything since Covid, the prices aren’t coming down. The owner was okay but could maybe be a little more engaging, if I ran a small service business, I would be super friendly to encourage more business. There is a restaurant but we decided to share the business with another local business. The WiFi was touch and go but we managed.

This is an older motel with refurbished suites. Spotlessly clean with gorgeous new bathrooms. If you are looking for hotel-like service like room service, this is not for you. The restaurant has great food, awesome staff. I found the room quite quiet even though the motel was full. It is centrally located with lots of home style food nearby. We went to the Bruce Mines Fall Fair and thoroughly enjoyed it. It was a great trip overall.

Quiet retrieve.

This motel is located in a quiet village. Nonetheless, it is located right by the marina and a two minute walk to a very splendid museum. At the museum staff give you an insightful tour, and near by are beautiful trails. We stayed two nights to decompress after a long journey. The owner is very nice and accommodated us with dogs, and was very reasonable. There are also a few lovely shops to meadier about if you would like to. We would stay again for an overnight before making the next leg to Thunder Bay from the London area again. Thank you!

At the time we stayed they were undergoing renovations which was not clear when we booked. Our room was updated but very dusty that seemed like post-reno dust. Overall I think it will be a great place if all rooms are being renovated similarly.
