Basic hotel, which is all I ever need. Conveniently located close to a decent restaurant, Tim's, a grocery store, and The Beer Store. What else would you need!

Well I didnt know pet friendly meant dirty! My young daughter and i were traveling through the area so booked a stay because the pictures were all decent. They asked if i had a pet and so of course i said yes a small dog. When i walked into the room there was dog hair from previous pets all over the ground, spill marks on the walls, the bed side lamp had an inch of dust on it as well as one of the only power sources. It was also supposed to be smoke free but the place reeked of smoke.
Because it was nonrefundable my daughter and I went to the store and picked up cleaning supplies as well as scented items to try to make the stay more enjoyable. My daughter still cried before bed wanting to sleep in the car.
Paid $23 pet fee and had to spend $40 on cleaning supplies. Not happy at all
My favorite place to stay in Blind River. Had a room along the river for one night before a fishing trip. Room was clean and recently renovated. Can easily walk to a restaurant across the street as well as Tim Horton's.
It was the nearest, walkable motel to City Marina, where I kept my boat.
The clean room was fairly basic, but had everything I needed and then some.
The bed was comfortable, the shower was hot and the AC/heat worked well.
In addition there was a microwave and a small fridge.

This is just a rundown motel with a fancy name. There was not a single restaurant open except Tim Hortons.

The view of Lake Huron from this property was outstanding.
The room was okay but could use some upkeep.
Booked a lake view room, and there was nothing lake view about it. Was put in a tiny room that faced the parking lot. The room was disgusting, the bed wasn’t even made and it smelt gross. When we asked for a refund, the property manager refused. I DO NOT recommend this motel.
The room was dated but clean. The riverview room was pleasant, but lots of smokers in the corridor which made it difficult to sit outside. Also difficult to load room from the parking lot, had to haul coolers and luggage through the hotel and down stairs.
I like how you could park in front of your door, benches outside yoyr door fir you to see and see the lake. How it was easy to walk down to the lake, a little veach behind the motel.
What i didn't like was the stained carpet, the plcement of the A/C unit hard to get fresh air to us it was blocked by a wall. The last thing was that there was no storage in the bathroom or in the room to put ur clothes just a closet with about 8 hangers.
The person running the place was amazing he accommodated us to my physical needs.

Motel (and entire area) was run down and in poor shape. It was dog friendly though, ad that was a large consideration.

Pricey room if you have pets
No power in room as they shut it off. Had to let them know. The furniture was outdated, fridge and microwave were dirty and mold? In the bathroom. And was to be 2 Queens but one was a double.
Power out in town on 2nd day so left early. Tried one restaurant and was disappointed with food and wait.
We arrived a lot later than we expected and the staff were still very welcoming. The is a great place to spend some time when travelling in Northern Ontario.
A nice place to stay. A small little beach right behind the hotel too, as well as a damn with some rapids for some cool pictures. A restaurant right beside hotel. We stayed in the king suite, was spacious and comfortable. Recommended for sure.
The property was adequate for our purpose. The price was good and Bart was very attentive. A great place to stay for motorcyclists, construction and trades workers.
