At first we thought we got a good deal but after the first night sleep it wasnt very good. First the was a huge sign out front that said new renovated rooms. Well let me tell you the rooms were far from renovated. the bathroom ceiling was falling in and the stoves were so old you had to guess what... More

From the outside, the Shannon looks unpromising---my wife said "Let's bring anything valuable inside!" But it turned out to be surprisingly nice! PROS: • Big, comfy room---we got the King room, and it had not just a bed and table, but also a plush couch, armchair, big TV, fridge and microwave. • Very clean (though the smell of cleaning products...

Next time I'm in that area, the only stop will be the museum as it is very cool, and maybe a stop at the motel to get my money back, that disgusting stop put a sour note on an... More

Paid over $90 for one night. Room reeked of lysol, had 3 mattresses stacked on one another. Absolutely rank!! Had I not been so cold and tired would have nosed around the neighborhood. Place didn't look bad from out front, but once you go through the door, be prepared. All I could think of was bedbugs and examined myself and... More

I stayed at Shannon Motel for one night in October of last year. I have stayed at this motel before but I was very impressed when I visited there again. The entire hotel had a major renovation and I had a great night with very accomodating and friendly staff. (There was a new manager who was very kind and helpful... More

I have to give this place credit. I have never - ever - seen such creative and liberal use of caulk in my entire life. And this is from a guy who believes a little duct tape and caulk can fix just about any household malady. If I were to make a an estimate, a conservative estimate mind you, I’d... More

Old motel and not well maintained. You get used to the smell after a few hours and a couple of glasses of wine. Then the tick tock of the wall clock drives you crazy until it finally lulls you to sleep. Then if you can sleep through the cars crunching the gravel in the parking lot, you have it made.... More

At first we thought we had a decent room for a reasonable price and thought we would stay there again since we travel frequently through Fort Nelson. Until the folks in next room brought in a party when the bar closed at 2 am. Party ended at 3am but couple stayed up talking loudly, drinking and having very loud sex.... More

A bit rundown, but fairly clean. My room had a TV, fan, microwave, and small fridge - sweet! Free wireless internet, too.
