First, if you are looking for plush bedding, pillow top mattresses, granite countertops and a modern feel...wrong place. If you are looking for a decent clean place for the night along Hwy 144 between Sudbury and Timmins...this place is fine...3star..however, if you want exceptional friendly service you gotta stay here. these people are the best.
On a recent snowmobile trip here the owners went out of their way to be helpful when we had some issues, very accommodating and just plain over and above any service you get at ANY of those hotels with the pillow top mattresses and granite fixtures.
the room is nice enough...the beds...kind of hard, not nice headboards but everything clean. Two things we struggled with..first there is no temperature control in the room...register heating like in your house with someone else in charge and it was just too hot...had to leave window open in winter...which then let in highway truck traffic noise. We should have simply put something on top of the register. Second thing...tiny thing but not shampoo...lots of soap packets but no shampoo. A REAL nice touch...the satellite TV has the MOVIE NETWORK...which is awesome...and a nice modern flatscreen TV.
the restaurant...if your menu most have the words like "coulis" and "tartare" in them...nope, not the place for you. Good honest diner food served with a smile and at a reasonable price - including great breakfast items...eat here.
In short, if you were to compare this place to a Marriot type of spot, on its own a 2 to 3 star place...for a side of highway in northern Ontario spot...clean, comfortable and the best service you could possibly find ANYWHERE and I mean ANYWHERE...check them out.
For the snowmobilers out there - this is literally right on the trail, right beside Windy lake Provincial Park. a ton of parking and both regular and premium gas on site. Also if you leave your truck keys in your room and your sled breaks down, call them and they will bring your truck and trailer and go pick you up. Did I mention this place as terrific service?
