I love it, and envy your situation. Thanks for your continued efforts on behalf of us poor stiffs who have to drive a day to enjoy your trails. I hope to do just that in the next two weeks, but no firm schedule yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

catinental couch Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 Maybe I will see if I can get the battery in mine and get it out tomorrow. It depends on if there is any snow/ice left on the driveway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm at my desk working on the monthly financials and he has the nerve to send me a picture of the fish he just caught using my rod & reel, from my boat.

whits-end Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 We're heading to KL tomorrow. Very disappointed that we're being raped at Comfort Inn this year. $160 a night, ground floor????? Microtel was even more. Those are the only 2 I'd stay at. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I found that strange too but I can understand making hay while the sun shines. I got a room a the microtel for 160 tax in. Hope I'm not on the 3rd floor lol.

For anyone cheap like me that doesn't spend much time at the hotel, I would encourage you to try the Super8. (Some of you stop laughing now!) Last year the rate there for a room with 2 doubles wasn't much over a hundred bucks. Tim's is next door and there is a great pub/restaurant/sports bar(always forget the name) within walking distance. Truck/trailer parking was allowed, and once you take the time to find the trail correctly, trail access is excellent and right from the parking lot. No need to be illegally riding down the sidewalks as I have seen in the past. The place has a shaky past as HoJos and Kirkland Inn, but last year they seemed to be getting things sorted out. If you are travelling with the queen, Super8 is not your spot, but I stayed there last year with my adult daughter and didn't lose my 'good dad' status. Note that we are snowmobilers first, not tourists. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not interested in hot tubs, saunas or any of that other stuff... clean and comfortable works. Doesn't have to be fancy. Let me have a shower, put my head down for the night after a day of riding and I'll be gone early the next morning. Go ahead call me cheap.

Very disappointed that we're being raped at Comfort Inn this year. $160 a night, ground floor????? Microtel was even more. Those are the only 2 I'd stay at. X 2...we'll be there next Wednesday night to start a northern loop, then back there at the end of our ride the following Monday. Really pisses me off, the gouging rates both Comfort Inn & Microtel charge in KL. When the Microtel opened a couple of years ago, that competition was supposed to bring prices down, but it didn't seem to last very long. Apparently the local mining activity contributes a lot to the demand for local motel accommodation, which likely keeps rates significantly higher than many comparable towns in the north. As for the former HoJo/Kirkland Inn at the east end of downtown, you couldn't pay me to stay there again, UNLESS it has been seriously upgraded since it switched to a Super8. Last time I was there, a number of years ago, it was a horrible experience...the rooms were really tacky and quite run-down, and not very warm (our outside door wouldn't even close tight), the meal was really mediocre, and the parking for trucks & trailers was awkward at best.
