The town and the area around the town is very scenic and nice, hotel was terrible, though. I will never go back there again, The hot and cold was plumbed in backwards on the shower, There was mystery stains everywhere, The lawn was not cut or kept up and garbage all around the door entering the hotel room, And there is also some kind of weird funk smells. In the day time the staff was airing out mattresses outside the hotel.

I have stayed at this property several times in recent years and had concerns on each occasion. During my recent two day I was very satisfied with my room and service at the front desk. Our beds were clean and very comfortable and all the appliances worked perfectly. I will stay again in the future. At 7:50 a.m. I tried to get into the main office to check out and drop off my key, however, the door was locked. I would suggest the front desk should be open at that time.

Dear GuestSorry, you mistakenly booked your room, and you want refund, my manager double checks the room before you check-in everything was perfect. You came back in 5 minutes, and you want to check out and you will complain to Expedia for a refund. This is unfair, you not even use anything in the room how come it become dirty or uncleaned.Kind regards,

Run away. Or keep driving! Do not stop here.
I was driving a moving truck and trailer across country and stopped here for a night. My first experience was getting stuck in the mud that they call a parking lot. One other customer told me he was stuck earlier in the day, but managed to get himself out with four wheel drive. When I told the hotel owner that I was stuck, he offered me half a bag of salt and said that’s how they got out the moving truck that was stuck last week. He said he didn’t have a phone number for a tow truck, and walked away leaving me stuck in the middle of the lot. Thanks a lot. Great customer service. The room: the bathtub and sink were pretty rusty and the whole room was very outdated. Half the night, I heard kids running and yelling in the hallway. I was also woken up several times by yelling and arguing somewhere around. Like others have said the owner seemed to be pushing me to visit the restaurant and cared more about it than the motel. Having seen my room, I wouldn’t dare eat in the restaurant. I contacted a local garage in the morning, got a tow and left. If customers are getting stuck in areas of your parking lot wouldn’t you rope that area off? Or put up some pylons?

Dear GuestThank you for sharing your feedback. We’re so sorry your experience didn’t match your expectations. However, my manager told you not to park at that side, but you didn’t understand. We tried our best to help you, but it doesn’t work the way your park your truck. we are new for this place, so that we don’t have many contacts. It was an uncommon instance, and we’ll do better in the future.Kind regards,Management

The hotel is very dated. It smells, it is an old, tired motel. We walked into the room and it was like a sauna, the heat didn't shut off. I was ready to faint so we asked the front desk manager to give us our money back and we weren't going to stay. They wouldn't so we have to contact hotels.ca. don't stay there!

Just OK
The owners have owned the place about 6 months and seem more concerned with the rest. & bar morer than the rooms . They were "reluctantly" helpful when I needed a plug for the vehicle block heater ( Temp. -32 C ) in order to start my diesel next morning .None of the exterior plugs on the building worked. Room was clean and warm but a coffee maker would be nice . Friendly nice people but need some business training ?? and some upkeep.

The restaurant (the one in their picture) was closed on a Tuesday night, despite what was advertised. I had to drive 5 minutes up the road to a subway for the nights meal. So not what I was looking for. The bedding was soiled, the rooms were shabby with trim falling off, carpet curling, marks on the paint. The mattresses were of the lowest quality and collapsed when you sat on them.

The room was changed after the customer complained about the earlier room . The customer did not complain about the new room . We never post online that our restaurant is open 7 days open on our website .

Pictures on Expedia are very misleading. Ratings are horribly inflated! We had been travelling since 4:30 A:M, and arrived at 9:30 P:M in pouring rain. The attendant at check in and his buddy hanging out in the lobby were friendly enough, nice little convenience store. But that’s about where it ended! Others have mentioned feeling uneasy about parking their vehicle, the long creaky hallways, noisy rooms etc. well it’s all true. I worried about our truck all night not being able to see it at all. We were travelling across Canada and absolutely could not have anything happen to it. When we entered out “King room” (we splurged) to be hit in the face with stale cigarette smell lingering in the room. As I made a couple trips to the truck to collect our things, I got completely soaked. The room was freezing cold, like chill to the bone cold. We tried to turn the register up but it was already to the max heat setting. To no avail as the boilers were obviously not turned on yet! I thought a hot shower would help, after 10 minutes of the hot tap on full blast the water did not even make it to Luke warm! We huddled together under 3 blankets and after a few hours of rest, we gave up and were headed down the road before 6:30 A:M. The hot coffee and egg McMuffins at North Bay 2 hours later were amazing! (Another discrepancy by the way, it is not 37 miles to North Bay from the Englehart Inn) perhaps this should be corrected?

My trip was planned knowing that I would be arriving late, so the fact that there was a restaurant on site was going to be a huge plus as I know things often shut down early in small towns. When I arrived I found that the restaurant was closed, hadn’t been open and wouldn’t be opening for some time. So I was going to have to go without. The room smelled like baby bodily fluids, spit up, dirty diapers, etc. No ice machine, no conveniences at all, not even a coffee maker!! And I’m pretty sure that the complimentary shampoos were leftovers from previous peoples’ stay -some were half empty while others were full to bulging!!? How could this be I wondered ! The parking lot was sandy gravel which in the rain made a mucky mess! I was looking forward to visiting my mother’s birthplace… this motel cheapened the experience for sure. For the price one would expect at least a decently maintained facility not something so clearly neglected.

We asked for listings in New Liskeard and ended up booking this. It was NOT New Liskeard so we had to cancel, because we needed to be in New Liskeard. We are out the money because it was non refundable. Not happy and would appreciate a reply to this note. Thank you.

I lived in Englehart for 8 years, so I knew what to expect. Nothing fancy. Was disappointed though as I had booked a king bed for my wife & I at an extra cost only to be told after I checked in and went to the room to see it was not a king bed, that they only have 1 room with a king bed and the lock was not working on it. Was not told of this when I was checking in and was not offered a rebate for the extra I paid for a king bed.
