I just realized that 705 Snowmobiles is a closed group (no linking or sharing). More or less a recent rerun of the horror stories we've during previous winters. So it would appear 2018/2019 won't be any different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hokkkey Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 I’d give up sledding altogether if I had to stay at the NAI. Stayed there many times in the past when it was great. It’s just a horrible dump now. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbo Doo Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 I've stated this before. We stayed there numerous years ago, with a few from the OC crew. NEVER AGAIN. The long blonde hair in the Dutchmans scrambled eggs at breakfast did it for us.. Now its the Westway for us hands down. Brian and Kathy are the best, and treat us amazing.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nunz Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 We drove past it a couple times on our recent trip and only saw one truck and trailer in parking lot when everyone else was busy. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottyr Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 Back when I started going to Cochrane in the mid 90s, the NAI and the Chimo were the best places to stay in town. The NAI had the heated garage and the porn channel in every room. The place was PACKED every weekend. The Chimo had decent rooms and had a great little bar right next door. Funny how both places have turned to the worst places to stay now? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stayed there a couple weeks ago,had a great time drinking beer in the parking lot with fellow sledders. Room was cheap and clean.Not modern,for sure. The Thriftlodge,that is.
