A long over due review. On our way from eastern Canada to the west, we found this nice little hotel…read morejust a few kms away from the Trans-Canada Highway. Te hotel is fairly clean and perfect for a night stopover. The town small and people friendly. The staff at the hotel friendlier and amazing. They suggested the Pebble beach and visit was amazing. Few restaurants in town as well which was more than we expected. Nothing fancy about the hotel, but the staff were the best

Incredibly rude clerk. So many rules - including to use the back door! Had a $100 deposit on…read morecredit card in case we stole the paper thin towels. Warnings to keep quiet in the room. Clerk left at 7 pm with strict instructions not to lock ourselves out but also sometimes the door doesn't work!!! Strict checkout by 9 am or charged for another night. Room small but clean.

Pluses: I had a bed with a roof over my head…read more Minuses: The door to my room required a weightlifter to open it. Bed cover was frayed and blanket had a hole in it. Toilet seat was loose. Walls were paper thin. Breakfast area was unattended, in need of cleaning and food was generally unappetizing... Coffee and a hard boiled egg, anyone? I ate a granola bar that I had with me.

My room itself was clean and the continental breakfast was good…read more I understand the choices are limited and the staff were very friendly, but the rooms do smell. My clothes retained the smell unfortunately. I believe this was due to the rooms no longer being smoking and you cannot open your windows because they have been "sealed due to wildlife" Wifi was included and it worked well. Definitely the best one in the area.

If you read no further, then go elsewhere if just because of how overpriced this is for a motel…read more While outdated is fine if you're paying $80 a night, $150 in the middle of nowhere, a tiny tv and paint to try to hide the old dirty diaper smell is just gouging. The place was empty but we were given the only room that had a giant patch of ice right outside the door that I nearly bailed on after arriving later in the evening. As soon as I walked in the door with a grungy old key with the plastic room number tag broken, I ripped the sleeve of my sweater on a nail that was sticking out of the door jamb as I came in. I had to hammer it in with a hanger! The sink, toilet and bathroom are updated and I guess that's why the owners think the price is warranted. The rest of the place just makes you feel really dirty and unclean. There were random hairs in the bedding so we opted to bring in our own to lay over top. Not sure how frequently the beds even get cleaned. It looks like a minimum amount of paint and 'updates' were done to call this renovated. You can tell these used to be smoking rooms but because all of the old furniture and tacky wall panelling wasn't ever replaced, you can still smell the smoke. If we hadn't been driving for 12 hours and it wasn't -45, we would never stay here. I'd say you're better off sleeping in the car or driving a little further to Marathon to have better options.

Good Motel for Nothern Ontario. Side story- My buddies and I got stuck here on our party tour of…read moreOntario (we weren't stopping in Northern Ontario- going straight through), cause my friend's dad's Car transmisson dropped out of the late 80s chrysler we were driving. I wasn't about to spend 3 days here, but for a night as a stop off it ain't bad. Sort of like a 1960s cottage on the lake. To note, no wireless, no pool, no gym. It is clean though. You can walk down to the beach it is about 3 km. The girl working the desk said it was 10km- seems her ability to judge distance is not that developed. You can pull right up to the door. There appear to be another three motels in town. Schreiber is another option to stop but not as big. I paid 80 bucks with no reservation on a Monday. An hour after I got there they put up the No Vacancy.

Great location, good hotel, brand new owners in 2017, a lot of upward potential here…read more Very clean and neat rooms, no air conditioning, but you really don't need it. Clean and neat bedding, clean and neat towels. Super friendly hosts and hostesses who really took care of us. Had a good talk with the owner, they also have a teeny tiny little restaurant, and they're going to be bumping that up over the coming years. A very good variety of books in every room, plus a nice little lending library in the main office. Lots of beautiful flowers and plants out front, could use better lighting off the main highway to show you that you're there, but I'm sure they will address that soon. So this is a "4" rating with every possible likelihood that it'll be even better in the future.

Second time we stayed here travelling through Ontario. Motel was clean and yard was nicely…read moregroomed. A young couple - Asian girl & Canadian husband are recent new owners for about a year or so . Clean motel and nice to park right in front of your room. I wish the 2 beds are not double size but rather queen . It's a clean place but simple. Our coffee was a single brew but did not work well. But there's not a lot of stop places out here on the road so we are thankful we can stay here for cheap.

Good breakfast, nice service. Ordered breakfast special and asked for fried potatoes instead of…read morethem being deep fried which seems to be the norm when traveling around Lake Superior. The potatoes seem some what greasy but to me better than the deep fried. It's all a matter of opinion. Coffee was good

Great stay. Rooms were hyper-clean, simple, and quiet. Front desk staff was attentive and very…read morefriendly. They take the town's Winnie-The-Pooh heritage VERY seriously. The restaurant was phenomenal, really a hidden gem, which is good as it's just about the only place in town. Prices were average, the portions huge, and the quality great. Cozy place in a neat little town.

I don't know why there is so much negativity here but this hotel was really nice! The bedroom and…read morethe restroom were very neat and clean. The room was reasonable. Everything was perfect and comfortable. Staff was very nice professional and respectful. There is no rooms available in the whole city due to a flood in (Thunder bay) and there was only one in this hotel and I was very lucky! My stay was amazing!! Only thing I didn't like is the room doors are slightly open for the guest to come in and the room key is in the room. Because there's so many bodies of water around the hotel there was a gutter smell(Outside) the hotel NOT (Inside the room) but it faded. The guest entrance is open.So I just checked the room to make sure I am safe and sound but everything is OK! Highly recommended!! Thanks Big Red Inn!!

Very bad place rude staff . They gave one price over the phone and when we got there gave another…read more No one at desk to check out with to talk about my terrible stay and what I thought . They talk about their dinning room but do not tell you that it is closed on Saturday and Sunday . This makes a difference because there is not many places to eat in Terrace Bay. Town closes up at 5:30 on a Saturday .If you can drive by and stay down the road I would . I rate this place and the area at less than one star
