monte1214 Posted December 19, 2019 Share Posted December 19, 2019 (edited) What’s the name of the hotel in Hearst that’s just off the A as you come into town from the East? ITG isn’t showing hotels up there for some reason? Edited December 19, 2019 by monte1214 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scottyr Posted December 20, 2019 Share Posted December 20, 2019 The Companion is generally my go-to in Hearst. Heated sled storage and the restaurant is quite good. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nunz Posted December 20, 2019 Share Posted December 20, 2019 Companion for us as well, the heated garage is a big selling point and they have treated us well, I like the rooms at the back where you can unload at your room. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AC+YA Posted December 20, 2019 Share Posted December 20, 2019 The Queens has a pool and maybe a hot tub. The Companion closed the hot tub down years back. You can still keep your sled in the heated garage of the Companion, but it costs an extra $5 / night and if it is full you are out of luck. We still walk next door 15 meters to the restaurant and lounge at the Companion if we stay at the Queens. We use both. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just booked rooms 129&131(adjoining) at the back corner of the Companion for our trip the first week of March. Lucky to get them as I thought maybe Turbo Doo would have them for 1/2 the winter LOL Edited December 20, 2019 by PISTON LAKE CRUISER 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other than a night @ the Villa wayyyy back when, the Companion has been our lodgings sledding or not. I've heard of others staying @ the Queen's on their trips w/ no complaints.

Techdenis007 Posted December 24, 2019 Share Posted December 24, 2019 The Villa has been thoroughly renovated and expanded... accommodations are top notch by people's reports. Might be worth investigating. Fuel and food very close via the Husky restaurant. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since we old guys don't like having to leave the building to get to the bar or restaurant + the heated garage availability, the Companion is the best bet for us. Plus the fact that Jocelyn and I have gotten to be phone friends LOL. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does get interesting when you can call a motel/hotel, and they know who you are, what rooms you want etc. My experiences now with the Companion Inn and Westway. Say your name, and thats it.. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My 2nd trip thru the Corridor & 1st time on the loops. The day of our departure for civilization, we headed north, toured around, saw the tracks from a pack of wolves & came back to the Husky for lunch & then headed east.

SlowTouringGuy Posted December 25, 2019 Share Posted December 25, 2019 Someday, off line, I’ll tell the full tale of the male metis hooker from Calstock and his two buddies who followed us around town. From the bar at the Companion to the Ballet and back again. A couple of them disappeared for a while so two from our group headed back to the motel and locked up the sleds. The talent at the ballet was awesome. One was so hairy a guy in our group was yelling, “put your hands together for Chewbacca”. And 14Snow burned his blue jeans after a member of the touring talent sat on his leg. Then, stepping out his room the next morning, another one of our group slipped on the ice from the dripping eave and concussed himself. Made for a dizzy ride to LucVille. I’m not sure what year this was or if it even true. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reminds me of the old trailcanditions.com message board (1st place I heard of Doobieville as some called it), lots of US sledders wanted to know what towns up north had strip joints. I'll always remember this post, "What goes on in Hearst, stays in Hearst..." LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
