Reviews of Spanish River Inn depict a very basic highway stop with mixed experiences: some travelers appreciated friendly staff and acceptable rooms for a quick overnight, while many others described problems that affected comfort, safety, and overall value.
Common issues include no hot water, outdated or broken fixtures, and thin walls near the Trans-Canada Highway that make rooms noisy. Several guests also mentioned closed on-site dining, limited nearby restaurants, and sparse in-room amenities. A few noted partial renovations or upgrades underway. Expect a very basic stopover with variable quality.

Facilities
Facilities are very limited: the on-site restaurant is closed, in-room amenities like coffee makers or seating are often missing, and some equipment (heating/AC, TVs/remotes) can be unreliable. Pet-friendly policies exist but fees and deposits have frustrated some guests.

This is a cheap motel, there is no fireplace as advertised not that it made a difference. The weirdest thing is the security- chain had been removed and just a lock on the door handle. The back door goes to the hallway between 2 rows of rooms but can only be locked/unlocked from the hallway which means I could enter any room at any time without the renters knowing. I definitely would not stay here as a single woman.

Cleanliness
Cleanliness is a recurring problem, with multiple reports of dirty bathrooms, stained linens and towels, mold, odors, and even pests. A few guests did find their rooms clean, but the standard is inconsistent at best.

I booked because reviews said although rundown, at least it was clean and the owners are trying. That is simply not true. Its deplorable. Disgusting and a complete slum. Dirty beyond belief. Literal spider webs across the door we had to break to get in. Toe nail clippings on the filthy,stained and cigarette burnt carpet. Black mold in the bathroom. Just absolutly awful. Not to mention the pitpull next doot looking in our window and the mini dirt bikes that the workers seem to use to get around. It truly is the worst, most derelict motel we ha e ever stayed in. Never ever again.

I got bitten by a bed bugs here. The floor was sandy and dirty. There was a long black hair in the sink that is not mine. The sheets had sand and/or bed bug droppings in them and there was a cigarette burn on my sheets. I texted the after hours number and there was no reply. Keep driving and try somewhere else. The cheapest motel for a reason in the region.

The office door was locked upon arrival with a note with number to call that went right to voicemail. Another guest came by and knocked on a room window to get the attendants attention. When he opened the door there was no greeting, just had me fill out a form and handed me one key. The room was beyond filthy, toilet looked like it had never been cleaned, used soap and hair in the tub, dirt on the floors and a blood stain on one of the beds sheet. Contemplated sleeping in my car and actually did leave around 6am. So much more wrong. Expedia should be embarrassed to list this property. The least the owners could do is clean the room. I expected old but not this disgusting. Just needed a place to sleep on route of a long drive.

The bathroom outlet did not work, there was no hot water for a shower in the morning. the bed was incredibly uncomfortable and the sheets had stains on them. the one facecloth looked to have blood stains on it but yet it was folded and ready to be used. the walls and doors ae paper thin and felt like i was sleeping on the highway. there's also a back door that leads to who knows with bright lights flowing under the door. the whole place weirded me out big time. i wont stay there again.

Baignoire avec poils pubiens collés. Toilette pas nettoyée avec moisissures sur le tour de la cuvette. En bref : Miteux.

Air conditioner unit sounded like a jet engine taking off, turned on and off all night making it very difficult to sleep. Bath tub had a nice dark ring around the silicone caulking. Additional fee for having a pet in a pet friendly room (maybe in the fine print but found out after I booked), and the clerk asked me to pay it in cash. Also, there was an adjoining door at the back of the room that we were unaware of at check in. Just not the vibe we were looking for at that time of night. Not my best experience at all, especially for the price.

There is absolutely no reason the desk clerk should be taking pictures of guests ID’s. Checked in but didn’t stay. Room faced the highway and traffic was not quiet. Was unable to secure door at back side of room as it was locked from other side (no idea who/what door accessed). Overall, did not feel very secure with the check in.

The property was fine, everything we expected it to be - a convenient stop for my partner and our dog to stop on our long trip, right on the highway. What we didn’t expect was to be treated the way we were by staff. I called the number provided by the listing at 1pm and at 5pm the day before to let them know that we’d be arriving late (around midnight). They didn’t pick up at 1pm, but I spoke to someone at 5pm. We were told it wouldn't be a problem and we were instructed to call upon arrival and were met with hostility by the staff on site who didn’t want to check us in despite having just spoken with someone on the phone at midnight. He was argumentative and checked us in. The person on site came by to apologize about his behaviour last night but didn’t fail to tell me how they don’t check in after 11pm and actually no one was site when I called so the message didn’t reach him. There’s only one number provided and the sign outside has it listed with “open 24/7” below. I’ve travelled all across the world and I’ve never had an issue like this.

The room is quite plain but clean and comfortable. The staff member at the motel was very helpful and stayed late in order to accommodate our late arrival. The.biggest problem was finding restaurants in the area. It’s necessary to drive to Blind River, Massey or Espanola t find a restaurant.

J'ai choisi ce Motel car il y avait un restaurant mais il était fermé. Le motel est vieillot, n'avait pas de machine à café. On nous a fourni un micro ondes au moins

Spanish River Inn er virkelig slidt og et ok sted at sove, når man bare skal videre. Restauranten findes ikke længere, men der er spisemuligheder inden for gå afstand, bl.a. Pizza stedet, hvor vi fik aftensmad. Der var problemer med vandet, toilettet løb, og det varme vand kom, da den servicemindede ejer fik lukket op for det. Som alle foregående steder skulle vi hente flere håndklæder. Vi har booket til fire personer, og konsekvent er der kun håndklæder til to. Vi skulle bare overnatte, så det var fint for os. Vi var så heldige at blive gjort opmærksom på en fundraiser morgenmad på den lokal Legion. God morgenmad til rimelige penge og en mulighed for at være lokal med de lokale.

The room had 1 ceiling light and 1 in the bathroom. There were no other lights. There were no chairs or a bedside table or desk. Spanish has no dine in restaurants only pizza takeout and a snack bar. There were none within a reasonable drive of the hotel. The hotels restaurant is closed. Most stores and businesses were closed. The hotel is right on the Trans Canada highway with lots of noisy truck traffic.

It was a typical motel for the area. The rooms on the front side of the motel hear a lot of truck road traffic but the back side are quiet. The host was very nice and there was a very good pizza place within walking distance.

Nice motel if you’re looking for a stop on the circle tour. However nothing is near it for restaurants.

The motel needs updating and if you're looking for an area with a few things around, this is not the place.

Very easy to book, which was good. I knew they were renovating so expected "something" ... again, okay. The lady at the front desk was helpful and very nice ... easy check in. The room left a lot to be desired. Busted and blackened tiles around the tub. Truthfully, the room would be better without the tub. The AC was very old and dirty blowing right into the bed. No screen on the window. Hot water in the morning was 15 minutes to come. I needed a bed for the night and I got one but not much else.
