Red Top Motor Inn

What guests think

At Red Top Motor Inn, travelers describe a retro, no-frills roadside stop with generally friendly, accommodating owners, convenient highway access in a small town, pet-friendly policies, and prices many find fair for a short, uncomplicated overnight stay.

Rooms are basic, often small and dated with a 60s vibe, yet include essentials like a fridge, microwave and Wi‑Fi; noise levels vary from quiet to some highway sound, and climate control can be hit or miss. Cleanliness feedback is mixed, ranging from spotless to musty odors, pests, and worn materials that make some spaces feel tired. The onsite restaurant earns praise for tasty meals—especially Indian dishes—but hours can be limited or unexpectedly closed, and service may be slow. Expect a simple retro stopover with basic comforts and occasional quirks.

It was not the cleanest but it was affordable and convenient, and they let my dogs stay so that gets them a pass. They need nicer bedding, so bring your own and you’ll be happy.

Generally, it was fine , clean room , so way to park and stay for a night after a long road. It’s great that it was pet friendly , but it was misunderstanding. When I was booking there was no indication to tick that we have a cat, but when we came the reception asked to pay extra fee for a pet. We were trying to find the most affordable variant but had to pay extra do the price was as mostly like in other places. We stayed for a night, we had a comfortable sleep it was lots of clean towels. So generally good impression.

For a quick night’s stay along the way that doesn’t break the bank, this place is great! It is nothing fancy, but it is very clean, comfortable bed, mini fridge and microwave, wifi, and lots of tv options. The staff is very friendly and helpful, and there is a restaurant on site that offers home delicious cooked meals all day.

This place is obviously taken care of with a whole lot of pride. The room was spotless, and there were no maintenance issues. Thank you. The only thing is that the decor is dated, and the floor was damp. Not sure why that was.

EXTREMELY DIRTY. There were few options in this area, but honestly, I regret not just sleeping under the bridge. I did not end up sleeping at all because I couldn’t t risk the filthy sheets or possibly bed bugs (didn’t see any, but you rarely do). Do yourself a favour, keep driving to Sault Saint Marie and spare yourself the Staph infection (not that I got one, if you stay here you’ll understand)

Overall, the stay was okay and the room met basic expectations. However, there were some issues with cleanliness and maintenance, specifically, I noticed spiders and mosquitoes in the room, which made the stay less comfortable. If pest control were improved, it would make a big difference. Otherwise, the place was decent for a short stay.

We stayed here just to rest after a long day on the road. I purposefully booked this spot because I loved the retro vibe in the pics. I was not disappointed. We stayed in room 18 - one of the two "executive suites." It was a two bedroom - one with two doubles and the other had a queen. The decor was straight out of The Brady Bunch. We LOVED it. Made for super fun family memories (and pics for the 'gram!) The owner was very friendly and welcoming. Rooms were clean. No frills. Only quibble was that the room was musty. We had a restful sleep and woke up the next morning and hit the road. We would for sure stay again. It was like taking a trip back in time.

Like the reviews said, it is definitely a 'retro' hotel with a 60s charm. The room we had looked old and worn, but was surprisingly clean and comfortable. The price is a little high for what we got, I don't mind them using pump soaps/shampoo to cut down on waste, but they were clearly very cheap liquids. Towels could be upgraded and proper drinking glasses would be appreciated although we did get some from the restaurant. Definitely a recommended stop, but a little comfort upgrades would justify the $169 for a the double Queen room.

Booked the room for the price of one queen size bed. I get there he said he will charge me for two beds!! I said No! I got a confirmation for one queen size bed for the price. He said what are you going to do about it? Really?? How rude!! I said we will go somewhere else! Changed his tune, he said ok. I was too stunned and just gave my credit card. He gave me the key and said don't use the other bed! Really?? We got in the room it had two double beds. We only used one of the double bed since I didn't want to go back and say something. My husband said he wished he went in with me when checking in and not paid for the room, ( which we didn't book), he would have taken me somewhere else. Also don't miss the notes saying the price is for one person, additional $10 for another occupant. Never going back!!

So service is slow for the restaurant which is only open in the morning and evening but you will never meet 2 harder working people.

You need to stay here. Period. Fine I'll go on. The rooms are definitely retro, think 60s & 70s. They're roomy, clean and charming. But for me the restaurant was the main attraction... a fairly extensive menu, but I went with onion pakoras, butter chicken and homemade naan— all possibly the best I've ever had. The restaurant was smart and clean, the owner/chef friendly and accommodating. Cannot recommend this spot enough!
