We (SJ, moosifer, extreme600, re:leaf & last but not least irREVerent) have stayed there. LOTS of parking but have heard in the past they charge daily if you leave a vehicle there for a trip. Tims is across the road. Mikes Restaurant on site for breaky & dinner. Wacky Wings next door. Beer store is apparently within walking distance (can't confirm this). Esso & Shell stations nearby. Snowmobile trail goes thru the property as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strong Farmer Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 (edited) Bon aire is good. They do charge 10 dollars a day for leaving a truck and trailer there. They give a receipt which is a piece of mind your truck and stuff will be there when you return. 24 hour desk survelence. With super 8 parking lot is jammed with truck and trailers. Mikes restaurant is right next door to Bonaire, as above post. I would stay again. Edited January 5, 2020 by Strong Farmer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbo Doo Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 Beer store in Timmins, behind the Food Basics, which is behind the Bon-Air. Another one west of there, across the street from shoppers drug mart..Google..... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

revrnd Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 X2 on the iffy parking @ the Super 8. In 2018 when we staged out of the Bon Air, I rode up to the Super 8 (quite visible from L24) & saw 1st hand the crowded parking. Also, 1 day when we were doing a bit of exploring, we checked out the access for the Comfort Inn. Not the greatest location if you're on a sled. L27 dumps you @ the side of Algonquin. You have do dodge 4 lanes of traffic & then spark along an access street. My GPS file should have the 'beverage' stores for Timmins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nunz Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 We’ve stayed at the Bon Air a couple times and enjoyed out Visits there, it’s a typical motel room that you can park right out front of your room. Great location and services as others have mentioned 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the past (haven't asked this year) if you were staying at the Super 8 and their lot was full or you were leaving a truck and trailer for a saddlebag trip you could park it in the big lot behind Casey's next door.

SlowTouringGuy Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 Hey Giddy. Knowing you as I do, I would heartily recommend Cedar Meadows. Huge parking with lots of room for vehicles and trailer. Right on the trail. It’s not a strip motel or econo type place. Large property all snow covered. No asphalt to be seen. Good rooms. With different choices. Good pricing. No highway noise. No non resident traffic. Completely safe leaving sleds at the front door. Or at your room if you are ground floor. The indomitable MRS. STG enjoyed the spa and post riding in the outdoor hot tub is great. Restaurant is indoors on site. No need for a coat or boots to get to feed. The menu is varied and extensive. Stayed there close to a week year before last and never felt the need to repeat a supper entree. Snowmobile package also available. Listed as one of the Top snowmobile accommodations in Northern Ontario. https://www.northernontario.travel/snowmobiling/top-ontario-snowmobile-destinations Enjoy !! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you for this recommendation. I was also looking at that place, but thought a bit swanky for some in our group - however, I will definitely recommend it to them!! Especially like the "Hot Tub" option you know it!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ask them if they charge extra for the hot tub. They were in 2012 when we stayed there. For the room rates they charge we thought it was a bit chintzy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Techdenis007 Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 (edited) Only way I'll stay there is if I get to sleep in the barn with the animals .... they're more civilized than the staff. I won't support any business whose staff looks down their nose at their patrons. Edited January 8, 2020 by Techdenis007 1 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
