We decidedto visit Sarnia at the last minute, and therefore did not have reservations in advance. We called upon the Internet reviews and found that there were two very different levels there - $100 + and a $50 price point. Many of the $50 reviews were scary sounding, but the Ho Jo's sounde very good. I gambled on an Expedia... More

This was the first time we have stayed and i have to say, that we will be back. The front desk clerk was amazing, knowledgeable and so polite. Our room was more than what we expected, in a very clean hotel. All staff was courteous and well mannered. We arrived late in the evening and left early next morning so... More

It was a cold snowy wintry night and didn't want to head out to my destination, so at last minute decided to stay overnight.Got a room immediately (even though there was a youth hockey team booked here) The room was warm and cozy as soon as I entered it---a welcome relief from -20c outside.. Hotel is fairly new-clean, warm, well... More

We stayed here for a night in Canada Day weekend. We arrived late in the night with no reservation, and the receptionist was very kind to us. The room was nice, spacious, cleans linen and bathroom. Breakfast was included in the room fare, you could make your own waffles or choose cereal, yogurt and some other things, although the place... More

By far the worst stay in a hotel. Smelled like smoke, bugs in corner of walls and floors, dead bug on bed, dirty sock under mattress. Had a stain on our comforter just overall really gross. We all slept with clothings and hoodies on. Not fun. Told no other rooms and can't get a refund due to booking through a... More

Location was great for the Slots Casino and nearby attractions but a substandard hotel. The night staff was fantastic but the management I saw handled everything very poorly. First thing to know is the rooms are TINY. No chair, no table, a child size bathroom and people smoking and hanging around right outside your room. 1. Everything was unplugged when... More

We just stayed here to go to the Hiawatha bash. Well when we arrived we were so happy because the venue was right behind this hotel, along with the casino. There were go kart's to rent, driving range and 2 minutes down the road there was a water park. As a true Canadian I was so over joyed to see... More
