Beautiful rooms. Furniture a bit outdated but functional. The room we were in had a super soft bed so the manager gave us a different room with a much firmer bed. The breakfast bar is open 24/7 which is awesome. Great price.

When we first arrived we thought the area a bit sketchy. There is security on the front door and a buzzer for service. Alisa was very helpful and friendly and was very kind helping us settle in. The suite was very comfortable with separate bed and sitting areas. We indulged in the breakfast/snack table and fridge. This was an excellent stay. When next we travel to Timmins we will be staying at this property if avaliable.

The location is very central. The staff went above and beyond to make sure we were aware of all of the services provided with the room and ensure we got settled in. The rooms are great. We’ve stayed here 3x in the past year and we have never been disappointed. The suites are set up very conveniently. There is a television set up in the living area with a very comfortable sofa. The bedroom is behind a closing set of French doors and it has its own television. The complement breakfast area is open 24/7 which is fabulous as it accommodates your needs rather than their convenience. Very clean. We highly recommend.

Full of snow.
No windows.

Looks like an abandoned building.
Don’t let the pictures on the internet fool you.
Who ever put the reviews must of got paid to put those in.
Reviews DO NOT reflect the motel.
I felt-we should have gotten a full refund as this place looked run down.
Totally not what we had expected.
Very disappointed.
We were forced to go elsewhere to find a room.
I would rate this place a zero
Beware of this place as most reviews are way over rated.
We'll never recommend to anyone.
Not a safe area and very dirty

Furniture was falling apart. We appreciate the tranquility of the motel. Snacks were adequate but not really much of a continental breakfast. Parking is in a back alley which doesn’t feel safe and isn’t well lit. Unfortunately like a lot of other businesses, covid has really taken a toll on this business and isn’t the wonderful stay we loved pre covid

This was such a little gem to stay in! I wish we could’ve stayed more than the one night but we’ll definitely be staying here the next time we visit. I loved the bed and breakfast feel mixed with the old school hotel vibes. My boyfriend and I played a game of pool together, and then played a couple of games with one of the guests. I love the included drinks and snacks that were available, the muffins were delicious! I also loved the “real keys”, it was a nice touch. Some people may not care for the lack of cable tv, it didn’t bother me whatsoever but some old school people might not be as keen. Other than that, I don’t see any reason why anyone would have an issue staying here. It was a breeze checking in and checking out. Again, I loved this place and will definitely be back!

Nice unique rooms and facility, 24 hr snacks/breakfast and drinks. Super nice manager which gave a quick tour and explanation of room and facility. All good and would definitely stay again. Only critic in general not specific to this property is that Timmins though just seems higher priced for accommodations than surrounding areas for some reason (almost Toronto room prices all over the city) - more business stays driving them up?

This is an old building in a downtown location. The area is not that great - quite warn down as is the outside of this building.

The inside of the inn is old fashion decor and the breakfast is very limited. The air conditioner was very loud and right next to the bed which did not make for a quiet sleep. The mini fridge motor was also very loud.

I would rate this as a 2 or 3 star hotel and if you can get a low rate it would be ok. We went in the high season and the rate for value was not good.

It seems some parts were under construction (?), including the dining area (?) and the gym, which was not available (although this was not clear when booking). We were greeted by a large barking dog. The area of downtown is convenient but nothing special. Clean rooms were nice. The all-day breakfast is just bread/toast, muffins, and juice/coffee (Keurig). The bed wasn't great. It's definitely a fine place to stay in Timmins, but not a 9.8/10 — that rating seems sorely out of whack with reality.

There is no reception area.The breakfast area was messy, with non standard arrangement for a hotplate and plastic utensils and poor selection of items to eat. Nothing made me feel exited to be there. Skip the smaller than standard pool table. Quailty is in the details.

We anticipated a bed and breakfast environment and decided on this property because a hot breakfast was advertised. We found out later that hasn't been offered since before COVID. The only window in the room was covered in glass bricks which made the room dark and gave it more of a basement apartment feel than a hotel. I think I met someone who worked there but there was never anyone at the front desk in the three days/nights we were there and that was on our last evening. We only learned about the fact they were no longer offering breakfast because of another guest who had been there before and had their door open because there was no air conditioning in their room. The property was clean, but it was not at all as advertised.
