A clean, no-frills hotel with great staff and an excellent view of the river. Pet-friendly, with nature walks next to the hotel, and close to very good Pizza. If you stay in Blind River, this is the place to go.

No one was available at front desk and when I walked around back of motel near river door was open for a room that was cleaned and it was rather unsanitary. We had an appointment and could not wait any longer The lady called us at 10:30 that night to find out where we ended up and remarked that she would still charge us for the room regardless .

We were supposed to stay at the old mill hotel, but they called and said that they had a Water-main break and we’re not able to have people stay there, but when we went by the hotel, the parking lot was full. They sent us to a small town, which was 45 minutes to an hour away, had no amenities. The only restaurant around was a chip truck very disappointed.

Very scenic location with wonderful view of falls and river. Check-in was above expectations. This property is undergoing renovations but this did not effect our enjoyment of it. Would definitely book this lodging again.

Poor interior of room as it was not visually pleasing, a/c did not work. Only one light bulb working in bathroom, the fixture has placement for four bulbs. The owner knocked on my door 45 minutes prior to check out asking if I was checking out or not. I didn’t appreciate the intrusion at all. I would not recommend.

Property is a convenient stop over half-way point however on a lower end of the scale as far as room updateness goes. Needs a face-lift and room color scheme changes. Old building. Nice that Tim's is close by and an awesome Pizza place for a meal.

Nice location on the water. Room was clean, but had a very distinctly bad odor. Towels also smelled badly. Should replace all bedding and towels. It would go a long ways toward receiving a more positive rating.
