Guest Reviews

Brian (7/5): -
Matt (8/5): -
Mary Jean (5/5): - Lovely location. Beds and bathroom were clean Breakfast not included. Lots of work to be done to look appealing. Heat/cooling system had broken cover
JACOB (4/5): Will not be back! - View and location Restaurant not open, rooms were in terrible shape. WiFi terrible 1 bar. Tv cannot stream because of WiFi. Grumpy owner/mgr.
Michael (1/5): Poor experience overall. - No breakfast was offered. The heater in the room blew cold air all night, no control dial to change it (broken). Room was a freezer for sleeping. Other guests parked their vehicles sideways in front of room doors instead of facing in, made parking lot difficult to park in heavy rainstorm. Poor experience overall.
Amanda (8/5): - Great views Broken knobs on the heater. Possibly some structural issues as the floor was warped.
Luana (6/5): -
Hell (7/5): Arrived at 9:00pm so had to ring the bell and wait for someone to come. Was very clean older hotel with many updates and - Clean with many updates.
Philip (7/5): 3rd time staying there......will return everytime I am in the area - Location is excellent
He (1/5): -
Dave (9/5): -
Kenneth (8/5): Great location friendly staff and good food - Beautiful location Small repairs undone. Lamps missing switches eg.
Gregory (9/5): Just a quick stop over.Just fine -
John (3/5): I like the view and have stayed there before but am suspicious of them cancelling our already booked - They cancelled the room we had booked but one came open due to someone leaving so basically we paid twice for a room and had to argue with manager to get money back from the booking of first room. This took a couple of days. The room was clean but the bathroom was in rough shape.
Harry (10/5): -
Michael (8/5): -
Diane (8/5): -
Amritpal (1/5): They are rude, and didn’t gave me my refund - I don’t like it!
Roy (1/5): -
Cherie (1/5): Worst owner - Nothing The owner will enter your room without your knowledge. He will take what he wants out of your room. He is confrontational and unbelievably rude. He will yell at you and treat you with disrespect. He will charge you for an extra towel because you only paid for one. He shouldn't be in the service industry since he refuses to service customers that have paid in full. I have never experienced an owner going into my room when I'm not there and take what they want without consent. No AC either. Very very poor service. I would NEVER recommend staying here. Read all the reviews. All of them will confirm his miss treatment to people. Terrible person.
Carol (7/5): -
Singh738 (2/5): - Affordable. Heating system is not good at all. Snow on door all the the time. Got my shoes wet. Need to clean snow.
Helen (8/5): -
Shawana (7/5): Convient location to suit our situation. Road closure - The room was very cold, washroom more specifically.
Eldridge (9/5): It was good for the one night - Comfy beds Noisy ac
Michael (9/5): - Location and food
Matthew (1/5): Disappointing and dismal. - Nothing. Dirty, in need of repair, outdated, disgusting.
Felicia (4/5): Suspicious, Moldy and Dirty - Location is good. Lighting on the building helps. The bathtub was unusable. It was moldy and dirty. The owner/ operator took a personal cell phone picture of my credit card and driver's license and I have no proof that it was erased. He took them away to another countertop out of my reach to do this.
Greg (8/5): -
Sparks (8/5): Delightful - Location and restaurant food was great. Older property, room felt a little drafty
Nancy (8/5): - Yes
Steve (1/5): - The view was nice, the restaurant was decent. Would have been nice to have working heaters.
Marie Jeanne (6/5): -
Patty (10/5): - Really nice owners and delicious pizza! Thank you
Dennis (6/5): - Clean room and beautiful views
Michele (10/5): - The sunsets over Lake Huron were amazing!
Carol L (8/5): - This hotel is an old building, but the bed was comfortable and everything worked in it. It was clean & comfy. It is just off the hwy a bit. Easy to get to. Restaurant on sight with great food. The very best part was the view!!! The motel is on a bay and the sunset was gorgeous!! The motel windows face the water! Nothing beats it!
Robert (10/5): - Nice place with a private beach. But the beach chairs were broken. Otherwise, very relaxing place. Food at restaurant was great as was the service. Chairs to relax at the out front door. Room was clean and very roomy with a beautiful view of the lake. Would stay there again.
Dean (4/5): - Stayed overnight in Thessalon on a road trip across Canada. The view from the hotel was beautiful of Lake Huron. Dining options were extremely limited, the room was very small, beds were uncomfortable, the room was not very clean and we were uncomfortable leaving anything in our car due to the clientele. Would pass this by.
Hinkley (10/5): Great value; excellent setting. - An older property that has been remodeled, refurbished, repainted, is very comfortable, and a wonderful value. The attached restaurant served beyond excellent food in a beautiful setting overlooking Georgian Bay at sunset. Not really anything. It was exactly what I expected for an older property.
JoAnn (2/5): - Room wasn’t ready, garbage on property, dirty floors, tub didn’t drain properly. Owner unwelcoming and pushy, had to ask him to return my drivers license. Horrible stay
Harry (8/5): - Rooms are clean and sufficient, lacking a few light bulbs, not so clean coffee maker with creamers so old that have become hard like flint. The view is breathtaking. The restaurant is expensive and in the many time I’ve been there have never seen any patrons. In all the motel is good and adequate, don’t expect more.
Rod (8/5): - Beautiful lakeside.
Jo (10/5): - This is clearly an older property but my room was clean, everything worked, checkin was easy & efficient. I love parking right outside my door, and I felt completely safe. Mostly, I enjoyed walking around the lakefront and watching a gorgeous sunset—perfect after a long day of driving.
Scott (8/5): - On the bay. Great view for a sunser
Karl (6/5): - We had excellent Indian cuisine in the restaurant. Our room was clean and comfortable. We enjoyed a great view of the sunset from the hotel beach.
jane (10/5): - great lake
Natalia (8/5): - Love the lake view. This was our third time. We go for the view. Rooms are clean but dated.
Christopher (10/5): - Great stay…. Will go back again.
Brian (4/5): - Pros: -View was very nice. Cons: -Road was blocked by construction -Check-in at restaurant smelled like a rotting corpse -No Wifi -Very thin walls -Room stunk of strong mold, old man funk, & feet -A/C was black inside with mold -Windows were ancient and wont stay open -Whole room was so filthy and cheap -Bathroom was disgusting -Coffee pot was dirty and old -Coffee pouches looked very old/expired -Toiletries offered looked second hand mismatched -Towels were dirty, old, and tattered -Sheets and pillows had stains and.. dirt? -Literally nowhere to go with road blocked so if you want to go outside to escape the filth and stench, you only get hot asphalt stink and loud drunk people everywhere, also complaining about the rooms. We stayed at this "resort" just one night, and will not be retirning every again.
Denise (5/5): Ok - Beautiful spot and beach the furniture is shabby and needs updating. Noisy unit with road work going on,
Daniel (7/5): Worth the money - Great location, parking for a truck with a large trailer Shower drain was clogged
Graeme (8/5): - Construction on roads infront of establishment. Noisy but nearing completion. Parking is gravel. Difficult with motorcycle side stands.
Raoul (2/5): Avoid - We got a room furthest away from the highway, which was good. Bed, once checked for critters, was comfortable. The room was essentially not cleaned. Sheets stained. Beard stubbles all around the bathroom sink. Dirty shower. Squashed mosquitos on the walls. And a lovely family of (live) spiders that had claimed most of the room to themselves. Outdated equipment. Wires that seemed to have been ripped right out of the wall without plastering over. The person working reception seemed to be bothered by their customers. Sorry to be a hassle. We won't bother you again.
Fred (8/5): - Suggestion .Shower & Tub area could use a grab bar for the older people using the tub. Bye the way ,I booked for the 11 &12 OF Sept 2 Nights not 1 So I stayed for 2. I did not checkout I left at 5am on the 13th so I ow these people for two nights[nobody up at that time. So I have to make that right?
gary (10/5): - Fantastic place!
Lynn (10/5): Très confortable et super comme emplacement - Voisins bruyants
Weston (9/5): - Beautiful view. Restaurant had a nice choice of items - we had vegetarian, gluten free and chicken that suited our group of four. A few more amenities.
Robert (6/5): It was decent but overpriced for what you got. Not good value for the money - Bathrooms had been recently remodelled. Facility was clean for the most part Beds were hard. Fridge was barely functional. HVAC was very loud. Could have caused mire disposal glasses. None in the bathroom and only two paper coffee cups. Toilet paper was just on the back of the toilet.
Tom (9/5): - Very nice spot
Jill (8/5): Great place for an overnight stay, beautiful and very convenient location just off 17 at thessalon - The location of this motel is excellent, a beautiful spot with a private beach and a restaurant on site. On the way out a gas station and timmies right at the highway ramp. Although old fashioned, this motel has been renovated, is clean and the beds are comfortable Internet is crap. That is my only complaint. Everything else was good
Denis (8/5): - Fantastic view over Lake Huron, with its own beach, very nice all round hotel.
john (9/5): - location loved it
Diotte (8/5): - The view of lake Huron was absolutely stunning The beach
Kelly (6/5): Location! Location! - This review is difficult because of the extreme difference between the view and the hotel. The hotel is dated, no electrical outlets next to the bed, no blackout curtains, old carpet. But the location and view are spectacular and the price is low. If they renovated this hotel it could be a goldmine.
Howard (4/5): - Outside light kept us awake, blackout curtains were needed. Also wall was dirty, windows painted shut and room was overpriced with a hidden fee.
Joanne (10/5): - Lovely little motel by the lake. Such an amazing sunset view. Dinner was great-butter chicken was delicious.
Trevor (10/5): - Very easy check in. Peaceful setting. Beautiful view of the North Shore waterfront. I will definitely be going there in the future.
Erica (6/5): Despite obvious maintenance issues, being on lake and so close to the water make this place very spe - The beautiful location on the lake and restaurant are the highlights of staying here. Our room was in disrepair with a temporary ac, malfunctioning refrigerator, missing lightbulb, and a window that was duct taped closed.
Hugh (6/5): - Rooms smell really musty; bathroom very outdated…old Pearson windows won’t lock. Asked for two extra pillows which were unable to provide. Food in their restaurant was very unremarkable!!
Linda (8/5): -
Marc (2/5): - Room not cleaned on arrival. No heating in room. Very bad attitude from the owner/manager
Shelly (10/5): - A few stains in room on suitcase bench and desk chair. No tea.
sauve (8/5): - Didn't have breakfast
charles (8/5): - Located on the lake A bit dated or you could call it rustic.
Tom (8/5): - Very nice spot
Chase (8/5): -
Dillon (10/5): - Excellent service and food was amazing 😻
janet (8/5): - Rustic but clean. Food was excellent. Wifi could be better since data was terrible.
Naren (2/5): - I was stranded in terrace bay there was a car accident so waited from 8:30 till afternoon highway did not open then till this evening around 8,you can imagine the traffic I turned back will try again tomorrow. When I called them they did not have any sympathy said check in was 24 hours I’m 72 taking my 10 year old granddaughter back to kincardine do not like to drive in the dark espcially nw Ontario.
Gregory (10/5): - The room was clean and quiet with a great view of the North Shore.
Tom (6/5): - The owner was rude. The rest of the staff was pleasant.
Lisa (6/5): - Motel is convenient , the rooms are clean but the AC doesn't work and the room smells damp as well as the carpets when you're walking on them. Great for 1 night stop after driving a long day.
Victoria (7/5): -
Nuria (10/5): - Wonderful sights of the lake with a dug run area. Rooms were in good conditions and quite clean.
Helga (6/5): - The location was convenient for our needs. The property is in a pleasant location on the lake. The room needed better cleaning and there was food left behind in the fridge from the previous guests.
Arlette (8/5): - This hotel is on a beautiful beach with lovely sunsets. The owner is friendly and works hard running the place. The food is good, but they're only open for supper. The room was fine for our one night stay. The rate was reasonable, we would return. Thanks!
CRAIG (10/5): - Great view of North channel , amazing Sunsets
Elizabeth (8/5): -
Michael (8/5): - As a property along the North of Superior route, this was really pretty good! The view made it much nicer than other places we have stayed and I would pick this location again. The nightly fee seemed kind of high, but maybe it was just because if the season. There was a restaurant on site that looked decent and well patronized.
Gerda (6/5): - We like it and stay here because my son lives nearby. We wished for 4 pillows not three, 2 washcloths not 1 2 nightstands with lamps not one That would have been more comfortable... Otherwise we like it a lot.
Clews-Coates (3/5): Very disappointing - The room was dirty, the front desk person was very rude.
Marilyn (10/5): - Nice rooms, quiet area, nice beach
Trevor (5/5): Passable - It was a nice location on the lake. restaurant was good. The man at reception was notably unpleasant, until his wife was within ear range. He then became pleasant.
Sarah (9/5): Excellent - Staff were very accommodating and held the kitchen open for us to order when we arrived as the kitchen was closing. Very friendly staff hotel dated but very clean with a beautiful lake view.
Janet (6/5): - View of lake was wonderful. But chairs on beach old, and broken
Verified traveler (8/5): - Amazing view of the water. The motel is old school super basic. Small but clean.
Verified traveler (6/5): - The room was relatively clean overall but had a very bad smell. Everything is too old and not maintained. Mosquitos nets had holes, which is complicated next to a lake.
Lynn (3/5): Would never stay again. They need to do some serious updating. Such a wonderful location but the accommodation is deplor - The location was fabulous All I could smell all night was pee. The place is so run down it is sad. Not worth $188 paid. Bathroom was deplorable.
Hill (8/5): Very good - Nice that the rooms are on the water. Nice views. The restaurant was good as well, didn't need to travel to have a quick bite.
