Guest Reviews

Edward (10/5): Great staff - Wonderful staff, I left my watch in the room, staff found it and called me. I’m very thankful for their kindness.
Ka (10/5): - Great staff and very clean hotel
Karen (10/5): - The contactless system worked great for our late arrival. Our room was clean and pleasant.
Tanya (8/5): - Expensive but it was quiet n safe.
I7505JVemilyc (8/5): Great place to stay - A really cute spot in a convenient location! The room was spotless with updated fixtures and nice bedding. The staff are very friendly and helpful. There is not someone at the desk 24/7 but the key retrieval instructions were easy to follow. When we had an issue with the door lock, our call was returned quickly and staff showed up promptly to resolve the issue. The hotel didn’t serve breakfast but there was a room with a counter and a kitchen space behind it, so maybe they do serve it sometimes. A great experience overall and I’d absolutely recommend to others.
Marc (10/5): - Good place to stay
Andrew (4/5): - Sat around and waited until 8am breakfast was never put out.
Brian (10/5): - We were there to stay for a night on our annual fishing trip. Clean room, comfy bed, and helpfull staff made our quick stay very enjoyable.
Bill (8/5): - Nice place. We were there for a quick stay and shower. Nice clean place.
Andre (2/5): - Still haven't received a receipt from my 2 day/night stay
Justforfun34 (4/5): Would not recommend - My room smelled like urine. No microwaves and couldn’t use air fryer in room. Should remove the carpet in whole building stains everywhere. Just didn’t enjoy my stay at all. Felt like I couldn’t get a good rest. Hotel staff were okay. Needs renovations asap and microwaves.
Kim (2/5): - Never again EVER
Marlene (8/5): - It was in a good location for me.
Rebecca (10/5): - Enjoyed my stay! I was meeting my half-sister for the first time, and the owner took the time to carry some comfortable chairs into my room so we could talk! There was no one at the front desk, but you can call to get in, and the owner comes quickly. Property was clean and the bed was cozy. Right in the center of town. The room was basic but had everything I needed. Will stay again!
248danj (8/5): Just passing through - We stayed for a night on a cross Canada drive, room was clean, the price was right and it wasn't noisy. Got a breakfast bag to go into morning. It is right on the main drag though town with several restaurants near by.
N5152DUbarbaram (10/5): Great find - We were greeted by a very friendly girl at the front desk. She was helpful with any of our questions. The hotel was very clean and quiet room. We enjoyed the tea and banana bread offered in the evening. It was nice to sit out in the sitting nook area to chat with your family or with the other guests. The breakfast had a nice selection. It was also nice that you had the option of taking something for the road if you were not staying to eat at the time as they supplied brown lunch bags. The next time we stay we hope to have more time to use the bikes that they have to explore the town. Very nice option. We hope to stay again next summer.
Katyray (10/5): Nice place to stay before canoe trip - We stayed one night before a canoe trip. Reasonably priced. Staff was friendly, rooms were clean and quiet. Included breakfast was good. Dinner restaurants were within walking distance. Would stay there again.
ShelleyBelly2368 (10/5): Great place to be. - We stayed here beginning of September. First check-in, the staff were wonderful. Second- Room was clean and spotless. Breakfast was amazing. Very Friendly. Great price!! I can honestly say you will not be disappointed.
Verified traveler (10/5): - J'ai aimé l'acceuil du personnel. J'ai un peu moins aimé l'odeur dans la chambre. On aurait dit un eex chambre de fumeur (odeur de cigare)
D3293WYjohnw (8/5): Hotels in Ft Francis - I have been to Ft Francis/International Falls every year for the past 15 years. I have stayed in most of the hotels in the area. This hotel has been my choice for the last three years. The reason I have my group stay here is because the hotel is well ran. The rooms are well maintained and clean. This year they vastly improved the parking. The hotel used to have a full time cook, which I miss, but they have a great continental breakfast.
Verified traveler (6/5): - The location was great. Breakfast was good. The beds did not seem like queen sized beds..smaller.
Verified traveler (6/5): - They send me messages asking what they can do to make my stay better. I said last time the cleaning staff was noisy in the morning. Can I get some earplugs? They said no. So I went half a block and bought some for a few bucks. Then they asked again. They said be honest. What can they do for me. I said I could use a load of laundry done if possible. I was in Fort Frances to work on my nephews shed. They didn’t answer. So what is the point of asking. Just blowing smoke up my ass.
Verified traveler (8/5): - Alexandria who greeted us also helped carry 2 of our heavier bags up to the second floor (no elevator). She also offered a dining suggestion of the Flint House which was a very good restaurant.
O7183ZMhenryh (8/5): Family Vacation - We spent three nights at the Sleepy Owl in downtown Fort Frances and enjoyed our stay. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The breakfast exceeded our expectations. We would definitely go back again.
Verified traveler (10/5): - Clean room, pleasant staff, awesome breakfast lots of choices
cfqueen (10/5): Perfect Spot for our Visit to Fort Frances - The Sleepy Owl was our home away from home for our weekend in Fort Frances while visiting with family. The staff was fantastic and accommodating. The rooms were air conditioned, clean and comfortable. Spotless bathroom (no grunge in the corners of the tile like you often see in hotels of all star categories!). There was lots of parking, and while we didn't travel with a boat or trailer, others did and there was plenty of space. They even had two bicycles guests could use! The complimentary breakfast had something for everyone in my family. We appreciated it's great downtown location, and being within walking distance to many shops, restaurants, and even the bridge to International Falls, MN. We would certainly return to this hotel when we come back to visit family in Fort Frances. Thank you for your hospitality!
carolhK958ZN (8/5): Charming place! - Excellent breakfast - hot eggs, sausages, bacon, waffles, etc. and the coffee is better than in any hotel we’ve stayed in. The staff is friendly and helpful. We really enjoyed the downtown location so close to the river walk. Would definitely recommend this motel to any Fort Frances visitors!
DaveR981 (10/5): Large family event - We stayed at the Sleepy Owl the past 3 nights for an extended family event. I cant say anything negative about this hotel! The staff were friendly and helpful and the rooms comfortable. The hot breakfast was a perfect way to start the day with great hours. I would recommend this hotel to anyone!
Verified traveler (10/5): - Pleasantly surprised by the simple, yet clean and safe condition of the hotel. Everything was clean and up-to-date, without being over the top. Nice flat screen TV with a mini-fridge and keurig in the room as well. I would definitely recommend this to others! Also surprised to find a free breakfast in the morning :)
Verified traveler (10/5): Great stay! - Very clean, friendly staff, comfortable bed
Verified traveler (10/5): - I enjoyed my stay at the Sleepy Owl. The room was clean and comfortable and the staff was knowlegable and helpful.

Verified traveler (10/5): Loved it - Wonderful stay, very nice late night clerk, good breakfast, will definitely stay here again!
Verified traveler (10/5): - Staff very accommodating. Breakfast had great selection of hot and cold. Parking spaces easy to access with down town location.
Mshell2262 (10/5): Annual trip - Clean rooms, friendly staff, and plenty of parking make this a winner in my book. We will be back next year! We had been concerned about having enough parking to accommodate our vehicle plus boat, but there was no problem. Room was nothing fancy, but very clean and looked like the bathroom had been newly redone. Staff were very friendly and pleasant to work with. We will be back!
LouMonika (6/5): Nice for a quick stay north of the border. - Clean rooms just north of the border. We had a quick stay. Late check in and most friendly late night desk clerk we have ever seen. Rooms have coffee and hot showers. Not much more I can write. But Thank you.
Verified traveler (10/5): - Simple but very clean hotel. Easy acc ss to boarder crossing as we continued our trip home.
Verified traveler (10/5): - This was a fishing trip layover....in at 1:00AM - out by 7:00AM, and their breakfast was so good we actually gained an hour by not having to stop at a restaurant for breakfast.
Verified traveler (10/5): - The place was extremely clean, staff was wonderful, nice continental breakfast, and walking distance to restaurants for dinner.
Verified traveler (10/5): - Clean and courteous. The only 2 things I expect as a traveler.
Cindi (10/5): Nice decor - Doesn’t look great from the outside but it is clean and the rooms are modern and comfortable. They have a nice complimentary breakfast and the staff is friendly. It’s a great location close to restaurants
brojean (10/5): Nice surprise - Clean, comfortable and fairly quiet considering fisherman like to get up early. Free breakfast and walking distance to restaurants and stores. Pleasant surprise. We usually stay in International falls on our way up, but will probably stay here again next time we head to Red Lake Ontario
Verified traveler (10/5): - Location and clean. The staff were very helpful when needed and accommodating.
Verified traveler (10/5): - Probably the best hotel in town. Newly renovated, clean, great service, easy parking. Best value for the money.
Journey14893325379 (10/5): Excellent - I have stayed here several times while in town for business and they have always been very friendly and very accommodating. Rooms are clean and the location is ideal. I will be staying here on future trips.
Journey37450925988 (10/5): Tried to accommodate - Booked two rooms and somehow we only had one room at check in. The evening staff went above and beyond to make things right . The morning staff was very pleasant and obliging to correct the problem, overall the staff were cordial and apologetic.
LeeN1156 (8/5): Cozy place to stay - We stayed here on a whim as we decided to take a trip to Canada the sleepy owl is a nice affordable place to stay its right downtown close to the river. The view we had was the brick building next door but other than that it was a clean and cozy place to stay. The staff was excellent to deal with and very helpful for anything we asked of them
LoveLakeoftheWoods (10/5): Centre of Town - The Sleepy Owl is in the centre of Fort Frances with spacious rooms and a wonderful casual breakfast nook. Located in the centre of town makes it accessible by foot for all the sites and downtown businesses.
Departure68686994157 (10/5): Gem of a Hotel - This is my favourite hotel in Fort Frances. Renovated, good sized room, nice new bed and good TV and room for computer work at the desk. Always clean and friendly staff. Highly recommended for business travel. Stayed here a few times Now.

john (8/5): TV issue - Remote for tv was crap.
Verified traveler (2/5): - Loud partying in next room woke us up at 12:00a.m. I complained at 1:00 and again at 2:00, didn't get any sleep until 4:00. Nothing was done, no adjustments were made. Day clerk told me I should have called the police. Location was great, would never stay here again or recommend it to anyone who wants to sleep.
Rocky (8/5): - Small comfortable hotel. Clean and Spacious rooms. Good breakfast. Staff helpful in recommending restaurants in the area. Bedspreads could be changed for newer ones.

J (8/5): - A great chioce. Clean and comfortable and a nice cold breakfast in very pleasant eating area.

BaylorBearette (10/5): - Nice hotel. Rooms cleans and comfortable. Staff was very friendly. Close to shops and restaurants. Would stay there again .
Connie (10/5): Clean and Quiet - The room was quiet, and very clean. The breakfast was very good. The service was excellent with friendly people. I would stay there again.
russell (10/5): Nicest place in town - Nicest place in town as far as I can tell so far. And I've stayed in most of the nicer hotels in the area. Recently remodeled and updated.
Terry (10/5): - The staff were very friednly & helpful Had bikes we could ride &the hotel is right on the main street & you can walk everywhere
Richard (10/5): Pleasant stay - The desk people were friendly when checking in. One of the women helped bring our bags upstairs. Parking was easy. The room was clean and comfortable. The internet worked well. I would stay here again if I was in the area.
Viorel (10/5): A wonderful Stay - The front desk changed our room to one with better accessibility for my wife even though they were all booked. The breakfast was amazing. Friendly staff.
Verified traveler (6/5): - The friendly staff were the best part about this place.
Verified traveler (4/5): - Bathroom toilet bowl was not cleaned properly. It was stained when I arrived, stayed two nights and remained stained through two room cleanings. Took pictures. Room 212. Arrived on Saturday night expecting a Restaurant that was advertised only to find out that this is now closed on the weekends. Not as advertised.
County-Hunter (6/5): - Better than average for the area. Considering the options available in International Falls and Fort Frances, you could do a lot worse. You won't get luxury here, but you'll get a clean room and a generally friendly staff. Bed was way too soft for my liking and I could hear conversations and noises in the hallway at night. Still, it wasn't too pricey and has a good location downtown. Note the new name change to The Snowy Owl.
J (10/5): - WOW! A beautifully renovated hotel with the best "free" breakfast anywhere. Skip in the big chain hotels in Fort Frances and go to the Makabi (The Sleepy Owl) on the sign. The rooms are large with modern fixtures. The breakfast was a full, hot breakfast with table service. What hotel offers that with the price of your room? Best deal in Fort Frances.
Lyle (10/5): Convenient downtown location centrally located. - Very clean and quiet, within walking distance to the river and restaurants. Friendly staff at the front counter and very nice continental breakfast with a good variety of fresh fruits, yogurts, breads, cereals, banana bread, etc. Would definitely stay there again.
Verified traveler (8/5): - The hotel is well situated in the middle of town making it easy to the business area, the staff are pleasent and helpful, It's nice to have eating facilities in the building. The rooms although not exceptional in size are well maintained.
CaptainBobo (10/5): Great staff n value purchase. Will come back - Good location and friendly staff. Breakfast hit the spot and believe me I can throw down a good meal
Scott (10/5): Great night stay - Great place to spend a night a late June night. Friendly staff, re modeled facility and the best cold breakfast. will stay again!!
