“STAY AWAY!!!!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed November 19, 2012

Do whatever you can to find another place to stay in North Bay.
-Black mold in the washrooms
-A friend got bed bug bites in her room
-No water pressure
-Book a room for 4 people, they give you 2 towels max..ask for more and only get more if you return the original 2
-Half the time there is nobody at the front desk as they are busy looking after their kids. The cleaning staff is the front desk guy's wife and 2 of their umpteen kids..takes forever to get anything from them.
-The staff lives in a room at the motel...leave their door open and all you hear all day are their kids screaming
-"Free breakfast" is stale bagels, and big containers of cereal that sit out FOREVER.
-Condiments for bagels are small pkgs of penut butter and jam stolen from restaraunts (even with orig name of restaurant stamped on them)

“In need of a facelift bigtime!!!!”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed September 16, 2012

An older hotel found on hotline.com rated a 3star but in reality it was more like a 1.5 or a 2 @ the most. Usually a 3 star rating is for a Holliday Inn....When we I opened the pullout bed their was allot of crumbs and food in the sheets.I m not comming back here

“damp and stinky”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed July 19, 2012

great value but the rooms are sub-par. my room felt damp and stunk of stale smoke.
the comforters they had wreaked of cigarettes, i had to pull a blanket out of the car for my 2 year old to sleep with.
washrooms had rust stains all over.. could see mold around tub and sink.
i guess you get what you pay for.

“Just OK”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed May 1, 2012

There for one night. Comfortable bed and clean sheets. No heat got out of shower when water turn hot because someone was using cold in another room. Dirty face cloth found in bathroom drawer. Bath at on yellow side but smelled fresh. Mold around tub. No shampoo.. Very 60's decor. No comment on free breakfast because I had to leave early. You get what you pay for. I'd go back if I had no choice.

Room Tip: No pool. Small city. Your 15 minutes to anywhere.

“Its a Motel, not a Hotel”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed January 24, 2012 via mobile

Overall, i got a pretty good value from the 1 night stay. For $85, you cant really ask for more. Once you realize that its a motel and not a jotel, my mistake for not realizing that prior to booking, you cant really ask for more. My room was clean, tv and microwave worked just fine, and great service from the front desk.
