There’s nothing wrong with the immediate area, just nowt special about it either. It’s good and close to Trans Canada Hwy, close to fast food and family restaurants and gas stations. The AC unit kept beeping overnight waking us up, but that’s our fault coz i fiddled with the settings without looking closely at it. If I left it on auto it wouldn’t have done that, no fault of hotel.

All staff we met were wonderful. In town so you're close to a lot of walkable eating establishments. Even though we're on the main highway, noise level was minimal. Grew up in the Sault and didn't know this place existed until I was searching for pet friendly motel/hotel. Definitely recommended.

Great property just off the Trans Canada highway. Walking distance to many restaurants and a grocery store. Room was clean and modern. Bed was just the right firmness for a good night's rest. The storm/screen doors are nice to let the outside in (light and fresh air) Will be staying here again

Nice people operate this place. An older motel that has been fixed up to clean and modern standards. The parking lot is old asphalt that is very uneven and the wall mount AC unit is incredibly loud. But hopefully the white noise of it will keep it from being too much noise. Can’t hear the tv with the AC on. It is a clean place to stay the night without breaking the bank.

We were interested in a clean bed in a quiet area for one night, and this was just fine. Food was nearby, Wifi was good, and parking by the door. Not fancy, not upscale, but a clean bed at a good price, and friendly service.
