Enjoyed my stay! I was meeting my half-sister for the first time, and the owner took the time to carry some comfortable chairs into my room so we could talk! There was no one at the front desk, but you can call to get in, and the owner comes quickly. Property was clean and the bed was cozy. Right in the center of town. The room was basic but had everything I needed. Will stay again!

They send me messages asking what they can do to make my stay better. I said last time the cleaning staff was noisy in the morning. Can I get some earplugs? They said no. So I went half a block and bought some for a few bucks. Then they asked again. They said be honest. What can they do for me. I said I could use a load of laundry done if possible. I was in Fort Frances to work on my nephews shed. They didn’t answer. So what is the point of asking. Just blowing smoke up my ass.

Alexandria who greeted us also helped carry 2 of our heavier bags up to the second floor (no elevator). She also offered a dining suggestion of the Flint House which was a very good restaurant.

Pleasantly surprised by the simple, yet clean and safe condition of the hotel. Everything was clean and up-to-date, without being over the top. Nice flat screen TV with a mini-fridge and keurig in the room as well. I would definitely recommend this to others! Also surprised to find a free breakfast in the morning :)

Loud partying in next room woke us up at 12:00a.m. I complained at 1:00 and again at 2:00, didn't get any sleep until 4:00. Nothing was done, no adjustments were made. Day clerk told me I should have called the police. Location was great, would never stay here again or recommend it to anyone who wants to sleep.

A great chioce. Clean and comfortable and a nice cold breakfast in very pleasant eating area.
Parking is a bit wonky, though better than it looks at first
No elevator, so some second floor guests might struggle. Two young women at front desk - not sure they could help with heavy luggage
Excellent location. Good restaurant nearby. Very positive experience.

Bathroom toilet bowl was not cleaned properly. It was stained when I arrived, stayed two nights and remained stained through two room cleanings. Took pictures. Room 212. Arrived on Saturday night expecting a Restaurant that was advertised only to find out that this is now closed on the weekends. Not as advertised.

Better than average for the area. Considering the options available in International Falls and Fort Frances, you could do a lot worse. You won't get luxury here, but you'll get a clean room and a generally friendly staff. Bed was way too soft for my liking and I could hear conversations and noises in the hallway at night. Still, it wasn't too pricey and has a good location downtown.

Note the new name change to The Snowy Owl.

WOW! A beautifully renovated hotel with the best \"free\" breakfast anywhere. Skip in the big chain hotels in Fort Frances and go to the Makabi (The Sleepy Owl) on the sign. The rooms are large with modern fixtures. The breakfast was a full, hot breakfast with table service. What hotel offers that with the price of your room? Best deal in Fort Frances.
