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.

This is an older property in excellent repair. It has features like windows that open and independent control of hot and cold water. You can actually set the water temperature and flow to what you want! The room was spotless and spacious, with a fridge, microwave and coffee maker. There is a table and chairs. Staff was helpful, polite and accommodating. Breakfast is the typical buffet with eggo style waffles and pastries. A collection of fresh fruit completes the offering. Gluten free is limited to fruit.

We liked being downtown and right across from the locks. The room and bathroom were clean, bed was really comfortable. I think the owner was short staffed, as we didn't get room service until our third day. We had to ask for some towels and TP, but that's a minor complaint. We will stay there again! Btw...Lock View restaurant is the only place in town serving fresh whitefish, and it is scrumptious!

Good location, rates, beds were nice. Furnace stunk like someone peed in it when it turned on late at night. Motorcycle group up drinking and reving engines until 2:30 am. Walls thin and didn’t buffer much noise. Not all property’s issue, but not a place I would stay with my kids again.
