Scenery is nice but it is 1959 palace. The dead bolt doesn’t work and I’m alone.. it’s very expensive for what it is. But the pillows are nice. It’ll have to do in a pinch.

It sits on Blind River beautiful spot. It looked like the floors had been replaced. It was a bed to sleep comfy bed. It was a cold night no blankets to keep you warm. Noisy fridge. I hope the owner puts some money into it as it could be a little gold mine. I’d stay again if I knew it had been upgraded.

Great view but no

This is north country and they do charge more and offer less. This is a beautiful area in a very small town with 1 Tim Hortons and for that the hotel is mainly used for CN and hydro workers. The rooms are bare bone and somewhat clean the beds are well used and only a couple of thin towels not that we would use the tub but it was a place to sleep and go. No one bothered us.

A nightmare in pink: don't stay here.

The room was stifling when I arrived. To reach the AC at the top of the window, I, a senior citizen, had to stand on a rickety chair. The room was on the 2nd floor. Grudgingly, the landlord helped me carry my luggage up the stairs. Many plastic floor mats along hallways were in poor condition, the ends flipped up: accidents waiting to happen. They need replacing. Freezer section of fridge very thick with ice; obviously not defrosted all season: lazy housekeeping. Decor: 2 shades of pink, very dated match the small pink bathtub. I felt like I had fallen into a vat of strawberry ice cream. The most expensive and terrible motel I stayed at on my trip. Memorable for all the wrong reasons. Of all my road trips, this ranks as one of the worst, if not the worst.

Be careful! This motel isn’t in Manitoulin Island at all! The motel is 150km far away from the entrance of the Island. When I searched the hotel in Manitoulin Island, Expedia website recommended this Motel. It is a trap! Don’t trust the results about Manitoulin Island from Expedia.

Room was very hot! Window was open and air conditioner was iced over. We were given a different room and the remote didn't turn on the TV. The bedside lamp didn't work. There was a very strong smell everywhere of marijuana. We won't be back and wouldn't recommend it to anyone!

The room has a very strong musty moldy smell. Had to get order timber spray to help. The tv was plugged into the bathroom. So you could not shut the bathroom door to use the bathroom. Tape keeping the lamp shade together. Booked a pet friendly room and then was told at check in that I owed the pet fees as they were not included with the room cost, which was not clear at booking

Our booking at the Old Mill got cancelled and we ended up having to go to Spanish River Inn. Rather inconvenient though the staff were kind in making sure the reservation took place. It is a loud location right next to the Highway and the AC is even louder. Neceessary though to cool the hot room and drown out the road traffic.

Would never recommend and would love a refund. Disgusting is a mild term to use for this place. Booked a room for 2 adults since that is what was asked and we needed a room with 2 beds, then our 2 kids walk in and he charged us an extra $35! Same room, same beds, same lack of cleanliness with an upcharge because our kids were with us? We were asked for number of adults. Nasty shack across the road is where he recommended we eat-beyond gross. Thankful for a Tim Hortons nearby. That is the only perk to this area. Stay away!
