Yes amosphere is getting dated and the food while its not terrible is a long stretch from what it used to be. But the heated garage and hot tubs are a treat.
The new place is the Nouvelle Frontier? I've stayed there, its nice and clean but the restaurant was not opened yet and no sled parking at your door as we stayed on 2nd floor. Careful going over the rr tracks at the back. I'd zip down the road instead if there is enough snow on it.
Im curious if anyone has stayed at the Rodeway Inn? Just north of Amos up the river. Looks nice with an indoor pool and gas next door. They must be a club sponsor too as i seen quite a few of their signs rolling into town last time.
