Blackstar Posted March 7 Share Posted March 7 This place was suggested by a friend. Its where my buddy and I stayed last weekend. Its not your normal hotel. Apparently, it was a funeral home that was converted. All the rooms are suites. 1, 2 or 3 bedroom. They all have full kitchen with fridge, stove, microwave and sink. All worked great. Cupboards are stocked with plates and a couple glasses, cutlery and regular utensils, pots and pans, etc. Furniture includes a small dining table with 2 chairs, a small couch and 1 lounge chair. Bathrooms have tub/shower. Bedrooms in ours had double beds with foam mattresses. There was a good size Smart TV with Bell Satelite box but very few channels. It is connected to the internet. Wifi internet in all the rooms. Over all, the unit was clean with fresh painted walls and newer carpet through out. Cupboards and cabinets were like new condition. The furniture was, how ever, beaten to crap. The lounge chair had the back broken off on 1 side and the foam on the arms fell inside the armrests. Same deal with the couch. The foam seat pad was crushed to the point where you were sitting on the frame after 5 minutes. Beds were small. I did see online something about queens but we didn't care on this trip. Cost was cheap though. 1 bedroom was $90/night, we had a 2 bedroom at $120/night, 3 bedroom was $150/night. These prices are for booking on their own booking site. Expedia.ca and other sites were a bit more. This is only a 1 story building so all rooms are on the main floor. There were pop and treats machines, no ice machine (but the manager did find a cube tray for us). There is no front desk. The manager lives onsite and has an office at the rear of the building. Plenty of parking out back for trucks and trailers. The Inn is located across the road from the sled trail. One last mention. They have a strange cancellation policy. They require 14 days to cancel. If not they charge you your full fee plus $25. If they end up renting out your room then they refund you a portion. If you book through Expedia.ca or other sites, you can likely get 72 hours cancellation, but as mentioned, at a higher price. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sksman Posted March 7 Share Posted March 7 We stayed at Super 8 last weekend. And also for a weekend last year. Hotel is being cleaned up by new ownership. Standard 2 bed hotel rooms. There are a few motel style with direct walk outs from room. We were on first floor in main building and had to walk out central doors. Parking was a crap show. Why they let guys leaving on saddle bag trips leave their trucks in main lot all week is beyond me. They do have a secondary lot across street. They do have a bar on site. And there are a number of restaurants on site Trail comes in to Tim Hortons lot next door. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whits-end Posted March 8 Share Posted March 8 Are they cleaning up the bathrooms? Last time we were there was the day Dougie shut down everything for Covid. Our bathroom had old tiled tub enclosure that had been painted over. Paint was peeling off the tile and mold everywhere. Ms Whit will not go back. Too bad, cuz location is convenient with trail right there, walk to restaurants, and cheaper than Comfort and Micro. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New sink and cabinet, toilet, Fiberglas tub insert. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
