Convenient location. Friendly owner. Room was functional and clean. We enjoyed our stay.
The owner was friendly and helpful.
It was quite, easy to park and convenient to our destination.
Nothing fancy but clean, everything worked and my bed was comfy.
I would recommend this motel, very comfortable, got to check in earlier. Very quiet, everything you need .Price was great especially for being on a long weekend.
We stayed one night, room had a musty smell. Towels very small and thin, tub mat was a hand towel. Seems they have hard water as tub and shower curtain were brownish stained. On a brighter note bed was comfortable. Parking right at your door, which we couldn’t use as someone parked their truck and trailer giving no room to park our car. Friendly staff…
The owners are very nice amd accommodating. Been staying here once a year over the last 7yeats due to a disc golf tournament that happens in South River!!
Easy place to stay before paddling into algonquin park tmrw...drive up from Toronto takes 3hrs...
Nice diner in the area for breakfast in the morning and then its park time...well priced

Nice clean rustic room. Nothing fancy but very comfortable beds. Good night's sleep!
The motel is a little old but the online photos are accurate so, I knew exactly what to expect. Staff are friendly and helpful. A decent place for a stopover stay.
Staff were very friendly and quick to react when we had a minor heating issue. We thought it strange that there was a coffee maker in the room but no coffee or cups. Overall the room was perfect and at a great price point for our use.
Check in was quick and easy. Rooms are quaint and clean. Beds were comfortable. Most motels beds are like boards.
Room was chilly but there was a heater. No curtains on bathroom windows which i thought was strange. Rooms are very plain. Nothing to write home about but a place to sleep in a pinch.
I was there 7 years ago, and I was looking forward to a colourful room. I miss the murals! I could tell the paint was done recently. Hope there will be new murals next time.
Windows and air conditioner filter could use a good cleaning, but otherwise it was very nice.
We stayed for the weekend for a couple's getaway while our son was at a camp about an hour away. It was a simple room with white walls, but very clean and comfortable. The flooring was nice and updated looking. We chose it for the price.
All appliances were unplugged except for the fridge. There was no coffee maker. We don't know if/where the BBQ is. Very small soap and shampoo packages for minimal waste. Garbage and recycling bins were in the room. The TV has a Roku remote.
There is another review mentioning a curry smell - that is in the front desk as the owner family lives on site.
There are two very small towns nearby - recommend the chip shop to eat out, and the restaurant next door is for breakfast and lunch closing at 2. Local businesses have limited hours because the towns are so small.
From the description I was expecting young families, but it was very quiet.
Would recommend for a nice stay on a budget.

Comfort is the Name of the Game
This was very possibly the most comfortable hotel room I’ve ever stayed in. Aside from the bed being definitely the most comfortable hotel bed I’ve ever experienced, the whole vibe of the hotel was comfortable, from the decor, to the fact that it was so quiet at night that, when I went outside, I could hear my cigarette burning (don’t smoke, it’s a terrible habit). I got in late on my business trip, and usually that’s a recipe for still feeling wound up when I go to bed, and staring at the ceiling. Not the case here, I fell asleep as fast as I do in my own bed at home, and stayed out for the night.
It’s a bit ramshackle; the lever on the toilet stuck, and the screen in the windows had the odd hole, but all of that was a small price to pay for just how cozy and homey it felt. It’s also a small price to pay for the small price to pay. You are not going to find a better hotel for this price.

We have 2 rooms, the heater in room 5 is really loud.
The amenities are basic.
I like that in each room, there is a fridge and a microwave.
