This property sits 10 feet from the main road. There was no office, no indication of where to check in, we had read reviews to find out that we had to check in at the Travellodge across the street, it was March so not too busy, but I would not recommend it in high season, walls are paper thin, the room was renovated and clean and it was the cheapest price in town, but still overpriced for March. Beds were comfortable, clean and the bathroom was clean. So if you are only needing an overnight, it fits the bill!

Expensive for what you get
The room was small but serviceable. It was one of the cheapest rooms in town, but it was easily the most expensive room on my cross country trip, by a factor of two The building to check in for my room was across the street and down the block from the actual room. That's not even mentioning crossing a busy road. If you're infirm or have mobility issues, condsider giving these rooms a miss, especially in the winter and high season. The front desk service was excellent and the room was clean and warm. The service in the hotel restaurant was similarly excellent.

This was the dirtiest place I have ever stayed in. They had chunks of hair in the bathroom that were cut and left on the floor. Looked like mouse droppings behind the garbage can. I called the front desk and the guy said I could leave the hotel and get a full refund. I requested a discount or at least upgrade. The front desk agent was disrespectful and quite frankly the worst service I’ve ever had. I want my money back for how disgusting this place is

It was noisy the walls are very thin and there was a smell in the room. The check in is across the street at the Travelodge, that I was not informed of before arriving.

This motel is actually operated from the Travelodge across a very busy and noisy road. The reception was minimal. Considering how much the room was for the night, it was awful. It was tiny, minimal and the floor was filthy. The bed had a vinyl protector on the mattress, which was noisy and hot. Neither my husband nor I hardly slept at all. A bit of a dive.

Great if you are passing through
A nice place for a night while travelling through town. The check-in is across the street and down at the Travelodge. No breakfast, but the restaurant across the street had a nice breakfast. You had parking in front of the unit. But, you had to back out onto the main street, with the visibility limited. It also had limited electrical outlets to charge your devices.
This is from the parking lot in front of the unit, we backed into the spot as we had a better chance of seeing traffic as we parked.  You can see the  Travelodge where you have to check in.
The bed.  Tight against the wall on one side (mine) and no electrical outlets nearby, unless we unplugged the A/C, which was overhead.

It is not a hotel, it is a motel. First room, went to lock the door with the deadbolt, it doesn’t line up so you can not use the deadbolt. Wifi didn’t work. I then got a new room. That room was fine! Parking in front is really tight, I suggest backing into a parking spot otherwise you need to back up into the road to get out. Also, you have to check in at the Travelodge across the street.

We checked into our room in fear and trembling, having read the dreadful reviews that had been posted about this property in the few days before our stay. However, in the end the room was basic but fine, being clean and quite well equipped. The staff were friendly. The biggest problem, as pointed out by previous reviewers, is that to get to reception, and also to the excellent Travelers' Lodge restaurant, you have to cross a very busy and dangerous main road. The price is quite expensive for what is on offer - but then, all Kenora hotels seem to be expensive.

Never again. Deadbolt on room did not work. Busy main road in front of hotel created a lot of noise. Nearly struck by a vehicle when backing out. Many beggars in this area that approach you asking for $ when going to your car and hotel room.

upon arrival and checkin, we moved to a building ACROSS THE STREET with very limited and dangerous parking. Entering the room, there were 4 of us in a room with 2 twin beds and very little extra room.Having traveled for 13 hours we all wanted to shower. Upon removing our footwear, we realized that the floor in the room AND the bathroom were dirty. My wife was the first to shower and quickly realized that there was NO mixing of temperatures in the shower, JUST VERY HOT OR VERY COLD. . At this point,I recrossed the busy street and went to the office, detailing my problems to the clerk and asking to be moved to another room. After discussing my situation with others, he returned with the following information; 1. they could not move me to another room 2. they currently had no access to a plumbing fix 3. THEY ACTUALLY ADMITTED THAT THEY WERE AWARE OF THE FAUCET IN THE SHOWER WAS NOT WORKING PROPERLY PRIOR TO OUR ARRIVAL. 4. that they would only refund my money if we immediately checked out. The area was sold out and there was nowhere else to go. NICE!? I would appreciate any assistance in refusing to pay for my credit card charges. I

You have to cross a busy hwy to check in at a dive across the street. The sub floor was obviously not tepaired before the new flooring went down. The wall shaker (ac) is from an archeological dig and is filthy.

It was modern and clean. But i was woken early to the sound of dripping water. In the bathroom there was water running through the fan above . So we called the front desk and they said they thought they fixed the problems. Also we xhecked in at about 10 pm and found out we had to go down and across the street to check in bc there is no office in the building. Never heard of such a thing

The negatives of my stay are mostly to do with the town itself. It’s pretty run down and ghetto. Drugs seem to have their teeth sunk into this place. Our room was small, but pretty clean. Noise makes its way in off the busy street fairly strongly, especially do to the large gap under the door. The staff were great, albeit with limited interactions.
