The staff was very nice. We did not realize there was no air in the unit, I believe you could ask for one to be put in but we had been driving all day and just wanted to get everyone to bed. Also the floors in the bathroom were not cleaned at all, the bath mat was black afterwords.

I was driving from Ottawa to Alberta and didn’t think it would be hard to find a hotel room in north eastern Ontario but I was mistaken. And available rooms were shockingly expensive so I was very pleased to find the English River Inn. It was the right price and it met my needs for a one night stop over. Staff were polite and room was spacious and clean.

We stayed in English River inn and it was a disaster. All amenities were false. We showed up to our booking and were brought to a room with one bed and told to all 3 of us to sleep in same bed. Once I spoke up about room reservations for 3 people and were to have a pull out couch and bed for 2 he brought us to another room that has 2 double beds. None of the rooms shown to us were what we booked and spoke up about it but the attendt couldn't understand English. He went back to office and came out and told us 10 minute wait as he went to another room that still was not a deluxe room and removed guest and put us in that room without properly cleaning room. We had no cable or TV and had to ask for device plus or no blankets or pillow for the pull out bed and had to request them as well. When he came he brought us a poor quality blanket and a top sheet 1 water 3 juice boxes and 2 packs of cookies. There was kleenex that filled the screens in windows and no phone in room. It doesnt stop there however you get the jist of it. I packed what i thought we needed by going by amenities which were false.

Great little motel tucked in the woods beside the Trans Canada. Older but well cared for with clean everything. Treated to a home cooked Indian meal that was wonderful. No complaints about this unique little motel.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
Within minutes of checking in, I pulled back the sheets to find them dirty. Like stained. You could not miss this making the bed. I went to the office to ask for the bed to be made with fresh sheets. I take my kids down to the water and the maid goes to the room and tries to HAND MY HUSBAND THE SHEETS. He said "no you go ahead". The rooms have not been upgraded in decades. Just really run down, dingy and unappealing. You are in the middle of nowhere, so unless you brought sandwiches, you are stuck with what they make. The burger was pretty good, but you had to buy a whole thing of fries (didn't come as a side) so it ended up being pretty expensive for 4 meals. The property was pretty though, with a dock and nice view. I know because I spent very little time in the room!

Odour in the room, possibly from the carpets which were not clean. There were no glasses to drink out of, only 2 coffee mugs. We ordered food which was really good. The owners were so kind and accommodating.

Very dated, no AC, lots of mosquitos. The bed was just a piece of foam. So not comfortable. There was mold in the bathroom. And close to the highway so you could hear the traffic.
