Big Pussy 433 Report post Posted November 28 Can anyone elaborate on the Kirkland Lake Microtel? Is there a restaurant there for dinner or just a continental breakfast ? Anywhere else to eat in walking distance ? Easy trail access ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Is there a restaurant there for dinner or just a continental breakfast ? Anywhere else to eat in walking distance ? Easy trail access ? No restaurant but decent breakfast. Nothing within walking distance besides McDonald's and tim hortons. Cheap cab to the pub in town. Trail goes right to the comfort inn than crosses the road to the microtel. I really liked it the days I stayed nice with a pool, hut tub and sauna. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
IQ TURBO 2,487 Report post Posted November 28 We stayed there last season with Canuck and 14Snow. Very very nice place, pretty decent breakfast, but yes no restaurants. We did, however order food in, and enjoyed that also. Can ride into pub etc, can be done... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He had a motel right across from the mall, just West of the Timmies/ McD ... also long gone. Can't think of any other Italian restaurants in KL, mind you I haven't been around there much in many years. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't ever recall it being open for supper. Maybe UltraFrozen will chime in... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe UltraFrozen will chime in... IIRC, from a chat with Ultrafrozen 2 seasons ago at the westway and the icehut, his son works and or cooks at a decent restaurant in Kirkland lake. I could be mistaken though. If anyone knows, he would be the one to talk to about places to eat. Great guy.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
