• Charlene (10/5): Was a shorter stay than planned as we arrived late, but I would stay here again and have recommended - The beds were the most comfortable of our stay, and it was the only place with a bath tub! The room was spacious and even though we were near a road, there was no noise. The blackout curtains and air conditioning were also appreciated. Would not change a thing
• Josephine (8/5): -
• Karla (10/5): -
• Lacasse (8/5): Good hotel ! - I enjoyed the heated bathroom and the little kitchenette. Lots of space. There was an extremely large spider in the bathroom, my nephew killed it.
• Dianne (10/5): -
• travelbug21 (10/5): Great stay within reasonable distance to the ferry! - Very clean, well equipped and comfortable. The soup offerings were delicious and very helpful given the limited options at this time of year. Nothing.
• Giacomo (10/5): Piacevole sorpresa - Stanza Spaziosa e pulita, ogni dettaglio è stato sistemato con cura dai proprietari . In stanza troverete un frigo, un microonde e una serie di utensili molto utili per poter cucinare, si può utilizzare anche il bbq in giardino a disposizione dei clienti e pranzare o cenare nei tavoli del patio.

• Patricia (9/5): Enjoyed our time on Manitoulin Island. Recommend going there - Room well set up and roomy. Comfortable beds and pillows. Kitchenette well set up. Also like that it’s a small motel with just 6 rooms.
• Joanne (10/5): - The room was spotless and the added little things in kitchenette ( paper plates napkins salt and pepper ect. ) were a pleasant bonus . Very kind helpful staff
• Fred (9/5): - After nearly five weeks traveling over Lake Superior enjoying its natural beauty, we were returning home to southeastern Ontario in just three days. We left Scheiber in the morning driving to Manitoulin and the Wayside Motel. Distance was more than anticipated, and we arrive late. Our host phoned us around 9:00 p.m. to ask if we were okay. His concern was appreciated and made checking it easy (...an outside light was left on so we could find our room).
• Francis (8/5): - Good location The soup we bought wasn’t as good as expected.
• Bales (8/5): Good location. Quiet. - Kitchen facilities were great. Bars in shower were extremely helpful. Would have preferred queen size beds.
• Monika (10/5): Exceptional room , very helpful , friendly owners. Would recommend and come back any time . Thank you - Friendly , very clean, renovated spacious room with all that is needed. Very good coffee, quiet location . New beds great mattress Nothing
• Trouttimes (10/5): Perfect base to explore Manitoulin - Spacious room for us the family of 3, immaculately kept. Mini kitchen, fridge w/ freezer, micro wave plus a range of cutleries all set! Local, home made soup are for sale (to address the scarcity of dining options nearby) and they tasted great!! We enjoyed 2 nights of wonderful stay here - not to mention the day trips to trekking venues (Cup&Saucer, Bebamikawe), walk in the lovely, historic village of Manitowaning.

• Vaseekaran (10/5): -
• Alessia (8/5): Soggiorno OK - La stanza era grande e dotata di tutti i comfort tra cui la cucina attrezzata con anche le piastre per cucinare, un tavolo con le sedie e un divano. C'era la possibilità di usare il BBQ. Il motel si trova in un buon posto per girare l'isola. Il ragazzo che ci ha accolto è stato gentilissimo e ci ha indicato tutte le passeggiate da fare, dove mangiare e dove fermarsi Troppi ragni davanti alla porta e alcuni nella stanza
• Alain (9/5): Pratique et confortable - Logement agréable et confortable, avec un accueil sympathique et efficace (réfrigérateur en panne, changé tr§s rapidement).
• Dimitri (7/5): - La chambre etait vraiment très propre et bien équipée. Le lit etait trop petit.
• Aurelio (8/5): Great motel with friendly staff - Great central location; clean and bright facilities. Bed was a double but we would have preferred a queen.
• Stéphanie (10/5): - Logement bien conçu et cosy Nuits calmes
• Susan (10/5): - Best place to stay Not too far from the ferry too Great place Na
• Kathy (8/5): -
• Dietmar (8/5): -
• Aakash (10/5): - Good property
• Louise (10/5): Quintessential motel stay full of charm - The property was in a lovely location. It was clean and had been recently renovated. We loved sitting out in the comfy big muskoka chairs and had a great barbecue at the barbecue area. Nothing.

• Torben (10/5): -
• Mclachlan (10/5): -

• stefan (8/5): - Gezellige locatie in een minder toeristische buurt. Niets
• Jason (10/5): -
• Irene (10/5): - Very spacious room, clean and tidy so is the property overall.
• cis (7/5): -
• Marilyn (10/5): - Although it was 1/2 hour away from South Baymouth Terminal, it was certainly worth the drive. The location, while remote, was on highway 6 and only a 12 minute drive to Ten Mile Point where there was an amazing view and the items in the trading post were authentic and reasonably priced. Our room was spotless and spacious. I wish we could have stayed longer.
• YI (10/5): A Hotel like Motel. Better than expected - The motel is clean, cozy, and well cared for. Despite being located right off Highway 6, it’s impressively quiet — we didn’t hear any noise throughout our stay. The location is also not bad, with most major attractions just around 10-20 mins drive.
• Terry (10/5): Nicest motel we have ever stayed in and we have been across Canada a few times! - Very clean and modern with everything renovated brand new recently. Great spot with lots of space in room. Kitchen, Keurig, fridge hot plate and a really nice BBQ area. Not many eateries near by
• Heike (8/5): Einfache Unterkunft, die es aber durch die Freundlichkeit und Sauberkeit ausgleicht - Sehr freundliches und hilfsbereites Personal Saubere einfache Unterkunft, gut gelegen für Ausflüge auf der Insel Pappteller als Geschirr
• Henrik (7/5): Not up to expectations - The host did not clean the kettle which was used for cooking milk by the former guest. The fridge is not clean enough.
• Lou Chelle (10/5): -
• Guido (9/5): Sehr kleines Motel, aber zur Erkundung der Umgebung geeignet - Geräumiges Zimmer. Alles sehr sauber. Nicht ganz billig
• Lynn (8/5): Great place to stay when heading to the ferry. - Location was great. Rooms very clean. Bed was comfy The screens didn’t fit windows tight and mosquitos were able to get into the room.
• Liette (8/5): -
• Renee (9/5): -
• Claudia (9/5): Praktisch en comfortabel motel - Ruime kamer voorzien van alle faciliteiten Niets
• René (10/5): -
• Diane (10/5): - Very clean. Staff was friendly. Good location.
• Cathy (10/5): Excellent one of the nicest motels Ihave stayed in - Everything it was amazing Nothing
• Sahana (10/5): - The motel is well maintained, clean, and neatly arranged. The owners, Elizabeth and Nicholas a another Son duo, are the heart and soul of this place and it shows. They are helpful and thoughtful and go above and beyond for their clients. They gave us additional chairs, paper plates, spoons, and other cutlery as a courtesy. Definitely a must stay at Manitoulin.
• Jonas (9/5): -
• Josh (10/5): Highly Recommended - Beautiful Area. Lovely Garden. The room was wonderful, comfortable, spacious, clean. Just a great place to spend any amount of time.
• Jayne (8/5): - It was a lovely room, very clean, and the kitchen area was well thought out. I wish I could give it a rating higher than 8, but the bed was quite uncomfortable; it was very narrow and the mattress sagged a bit.
• Sonia (7/5): -
• Loek (8/5): Een prima verblijf voor je activiteiten op het eiland - Vriendelijke familie, willen dat je het naar je zin hebt en doen er alles voor. Niets

• David (8/5): - Everything was new and well thought out. Kitchenette with microwave, pots and pans, flatware etc. Large room, well lit with comfortable bed. Effective blackout curtains. Windows back and front. Can't think of anything. The motel doesn't look like much from the outside but a gem on the inside. A bit pricey.

• colrando (9/5): Great location and Facilities with good value for money - Great location for a 3 day tour of Manitoulin Island. All facilities were great including the use of the communal barbecue which we used on a couple of occasions. I asked for additional crockery items so we could self-cater a little and these were provided which was helpful
