Room 3 much nicer than Room 4, but there is no effect light blockage on window and so sunlight comes into Room 3 very early, while Room 4 remains dark. Shower in room 4 is tiny. We have previously have stayed in rooms 15 and 16 (2021). Room 15 is bigger than room 16. Rooms are clean but well worn; only negative was lack of available sockets (only one unused socket and it was not near bathroom). Would definitely stay here again.

We were traveling through the Upper Peninsula, and made a side trip to Sault St. Marie specifically…read moreto take a boat tour of the Soo Locks. We chose the Famous Soo Locks Boat Tours, and purchased our two adult tickets online for $30 each. ($33 online). (May, 2023). This company has been providing tours since 1959, and they're distinguishable by their 150-seat yellow and blue boats. They offer many departures daily from mid-May to mid-October. From their (free) parking lot, our narrated "Classic Lock" tour began with a leisurely cruise along the American and Canadian sides of the St. Mary's River with the conductor pointing out some of the sites and their historical significance. It was evident that we were waiting for our turn to enter the up bound lock between Lake Huron and Lake Superior, as were some other tour boats and a gigantic freighter. The lock itself is an amazing engineering feat, allowing boats to travel between the two lakes that have a 21-foot variance in their heights. We alternated between being comfortably seated in, and walking around, the climate-controlled boat to take photos, as did many other passengers. Going through the locks, both up-bound and down-bound, was a slow but interesting process -- as we waited for the gates to close and for the water to fill or drain. The narration was very good and was of an appropriate duration -- providing useful information without being too long as to be distracting. Are there picturesque views along the river banks? No. The scenery, both in the American and the Canadian sides near the locks is mostly industrial -- though we did pass some parks and some tribal land. Am I generally "into" learning about engineering or industrial feats? Largely, no, my husband (an engineer) generally finds this more intriguing, but, that said, I did find this tour to be well-narrated and sometimes interesting even for my tastes. Did the tour company provide a worthwhile tour? A resounding YES. The tour was professionally done, and for a fair price. Our tour ended up being almost 2 hours given traffic through the locks. The captain truly seemed to enjoy his job, both navigating the boat and doing the narration. The boat itself was comfortable. Also note that no passport is needed to go into Canada as you won't disembark from the boat.

Lockview was pet friendly, and had a $30 charge for pet cleaning- totally fair. Ultimately, I ended up travelling alone, and the staff removed the pet fee and had my room ready early for check in. The staff is GREAT. It's an older but updated property, and I was able to stay in one of the connected cabins- really cool. Parking was parallel to the door, so close parking was like... 5 feet away from my driver's side door. Push button electronic locks with daily rotating codes- it felt very safe. The cabin was nice and clean, smelled clean, and the furnishings were nice. No caroet, which I prefer- vinyl plank. I enjoyed the round coffee table and the barrel chairs. Made it nice to get some work done not having to sit on a bed, (which would not have been ideal at all since they are raised) at a desk, or in a wingback with no matching height table. Water was hot, TV was great, and the only hiccup was a bad TV HDMI cable which maintenance fixed with a new one in under 15 minutes. Really happy with my stay here, would definitely stay again!

But, if you like a cute city with a rich maritime history, it definitely is a destination for you and you must stay at Lockview. Location, location, location! Lockview is on a main road (still quiet at night) and once you arrive you can walk to several restaurants, cute shops, and best of all the Soo Locks are right across the street. The Lock View offers a motor lodge type hotel or cabin, we chose a cabin because we were bringing of dogs. They are definitely dog friendly and only charge a one time $40 cleaning fee, not a per dog per night price. The only thing they require is that the dogs are not in the rooms when the cleaners come in, they don't want your dog to take off when they open the door. The room we had was carpeted around the beds but the rest of the room is a hard surface floor which is perfect for dogs. The room also had a mini fridge and microwave crowded as well as a coffee machine. They offer free breakfast, we never ate there so I'm not sure what it consists of. While to rooms aren't fancy, they are clean, quiet, and comfortable. There is also plenty of space to take the dogs out so they can do their business. I don't know what f the couple that checked us in are the owners, but they were so nice and helpful, explained everything regarding pets when we checked in and when we had a minor snag with our room, they were quick to fix it and get us a different room. Even though this isn't a 5 star resort, you will get 5 star service and the location is so great, I had to give 5 stars. I would definitely stay here again and would recommend.

The kitchenette was very clean but we didn't use anything other than the refrigerator. Biggest problem was the very small bathroom. Extremely cramped. Shower was very small and almost chlostrophobic.

The motel is in a good location for sightseeing. Sault Ste. Marie to the east and multiple lighthouses and waterfalls to the west. Overall this was a good stay.

When we arrived to check in at the rather unkempt little fishing store, nobody was wearing a face mask nor social distancing. They checked us in without any questions and the room was relatively comfortable and clean, but the walls were paper thin and the bathroom and shower were in need of an upgrade. The next morning we found a note from the owner/manager on our door stating that the room we were staying in was not a dog room, and they wanted us to pay for a thorough professional cleaning for this supposedly "just remodeled" room. We then had the stress and inconvenience of having to explain that we had clearly told the person making the reservation that we were bringing a dog. They finally realized their mistake and waived the extra bill when we checked out, but the owner continued to give us grief about it. Needless to say, we will not ever be going back to this place.
