“The Worst Yet!!!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed September 15, 2005
8
people found this review helpful

I can not agree more with the review that says never again. Aside from a cockroach infested dump I was forced to stay in in Tenessee a few years ago this one takes the cake. Too bad because we stayed in a Travel Lodge in Timmins two nights prior that was oustanding for half yes half the price.
I too had to step over beer bottles in the hall in the morning and worried all night about my vehicle.

Stayed September 2005

“Well Stated”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed August 19, 2005

I agree completely with prior negative review. The rooms were fine but the impact of the outdoor patio noise was unbearable. The patio was open until 12:00 am and the horseshoe configuration of the facility ensured that every room was impacted. This is not a place for a quiet night's sleep with young children.

“Never again . . .”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed July 29, 2005

We stayed for one night when taking our son to camp in the area. I'll admit that we have extraordinarily high expectations when it comes to our lodging but this place is not up to even a Travelodge's standards. First there are about 10 parking places, mostly used by people in the bar. This is the same bar (one of three) that you MUST go through to get to the check in desk, our room overlooked the beer garden/parking lot, and thankfully our car, because when the bar closes that parking lot becomes the place to be! It sounded like the party was coming to our room and woke everyone up, in hindsight this was a good thing to keep the people out of our car! On the up side the room was reasonably clean, the sheets weren't like sandpaper and everything worked, problems we have encountered in much higher rated establishments. We mentioned staying here when we were looking for a room for the return trip to pick up our son and everyone said the decline at the Travelodge has been a recent occurrence (within the last two years). We have sent our concerns to corporate, they replied that this was independently owned . . . not their problem . . . they would bring our concerns up at an annual review of the facility. I would recommend this place for people w/o kids that were interested in fishing all day (nearest hotel to the water-- not on the water from what I saw in town) and drinking/gambling all night . . . not a place for children!

I was impressed with this little hotel. As far as I know it was the only hotel in the area that had a bar and restaurant on site. It was good for my kid's hockey crew. I would recommend it.
