revrnd Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 Any reports? I saw a post (2nd hand) elsewhere on the 'net today. Sounded like a word for word repeat of what we've heard the last 2 seasons. Personally it sounded a bit dubious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cookster Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 all i have found so far "cut and paste from another site" not sounding very good yet should be more replies you would think, busy up cochrane way so i am hearing. heading that way next weekend for a few weeks. looks like the cold may be ending -30 as i write this BUR !! I just returned today from a trip to timmins and cochrane. We met a group of guys that stayed there Tuesday night and none of them would stay a second night and they switched hotels. I pulled in there Wednesday on my sled and there lot was full of trucks and trailers. The restaurant is open now I see. The guys said one of there rooms had no heat at all and he slept in his riding gear, the other guys stayed in there igloo's because it's all they had and it was extremely musty. I stayed there last year for 3 days and it was ok but far from great, heated shop for the sleds was nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds pretty close (if not the same) to what was posted about it previously. I'm going to be charitable and say to take that opinion w/ a large grain of salt.

Chandos_rob Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 Okay, first hand. I stayed there two nights last week. Stayed in one of their loft suites on the night we came into cochrane parked trailer and few nights later before we trailered home. Room was clean, beds were good with clean new sheets. Room had been updated, but not completely redone. Flat screen, microwave, propane fireplace. Hot tub not open due to "not having final inspection on new lid?". Restaurant food was standard pub fare, but I really do appreciate not having to cab it from motel to restaurant, so big plus there. Owner and wife very nice and staff at bar were very good. Don't think there was any beer on tap, however good selection (but not dozens) of beers. Pool table, foosball, and two flat screens in bar area. Breakfast good (again, I like not having to leave hotel for meals). Has a sled garage, but we didn't use as we left sleds on trailer first night and again night before we left. Property is right on the trail. We're not talking Hilton, but I was happy with my stay, and I'll stay there again. I have only stayed one other place in cochrane before, but room much better at NAI. Again, only two nights, both in the same room, but seems to be no comparison from the horror stories of previous years with the old management. Hope to see more reviews here to see others opinions. Had to laugh, we called on way up on the sunday night to see if kitchen and bar still open, thinking would close by 9pm or so, they said bar open until 2:00 am! Amen.
