This was our second time staying and once again, didn't disappoint! After a long day of driving I was warmly greeted by the motel host and quickly checked in. The room was extremely clean, with all amenities. The beds were nice and cozy. The location is easily accessible from Hwy 11 and there are lots of services just down the road. We will be regulars for sure!

The family room was what we needed for 1 night. It was clean and quiet but we arrived late and it was very dark as no outside lights were on. We had to use a flashlight from the truck to see our room number. It was uncomfortable.

there was nothing unique about this property. It was clean inside and outside which I would expect. When I had trouble with the tv, management came instantly to solve the problem.

This motel far surpassed our expectations. The room was very clean, bed so comfortable as were the pillows. We wanted to be as close as possible to Callandar as we did not need the downtown area of North Bay. To all you gamblers it was very close. The person who checked us in was very pleasant and made sure we had everything we needed. Would definitely stay here again. The shower was great, did not want to get out it was so soothing.
