For a quick night’s stay along the way that doesn’t break the bank, this place is great! It is nothing fancy, but it is very clean, comfortable bed, mini fridge and microwave, wifi, and lots of tv options. The staff is very friendly and helpful, and there is a restaurant on site that offers home delicious cooked meals all day.

The office and restaurant was very odorous. Remained on my clothes. Location helpful. Screen on door let mosquitoes in. Also, something sticky on floor beside bed. It had not been dusted. Coffee was good in the room. Large green space for stretchjbg legs and for dogs or kids

EXTREMELY DIRTY. There were few options in this area, but honestly, I regret not just sleeping under the bridge. I did not end up sleeping at all because I couldn’t t risk the filthy sheets or possibly bed bugs (didn’t see any, but you rarely do). Do yourself a favour, keep driving to Sault Saint Marie and spare yourself the Staph infection (not that I got one, if you stay here you’ll understand)

Hosts were attentive, and went above requirement to make the stay good during a family funeral. Not our first time staying, and will be back. The bed was very comfortable.

It was clean although dated and used to be smoking so the smoke smell permeated everything. It’s all very dated and the taps in the sink and tub barely worked with zero water temperature control. Only one person doing all the jobs so some waiting involved at check in which was understandable.

We liked the grounds and was close enough to walk through the Iron Bridge and learn about it's history. I would recommend this place for a one night stay. Close enough to drive to other restaurants and gas station. Room was clean and beds were comfortable.

It posted that there was a restaurant with the hotel. They did not post that it is not open every day. I chose that hotel because of the restaurant. I had to go to a gas station to get food. All restaurant were closed as of Oct 13!! The pillows smelled terrible. Glad i had my own. It was VERY cold and took a long time to warm up. Not a lot of hot water.
