I spent one night here in August 2012. Right after checking in, my motorcycle would not start. Within a few minutes the owner of the motel was helping diagnose the problem (dead battery), and supplying a battery charger. After finding a new battery by phone, my new friend Bob was taking me to pick it up. Treated me like family,... More

Stayed here for 2 nights. Location perfect for watching the freighters. Could hear them coming in, so could walk across the street to the park to watch them. Room was very clean and comfortable. Within walking distance to stores, restaurant. Price was right, staff very friendly and helpful. Will defiantly be staying here again!

An older, well maintained motel in the "Old Town" section of Sault Saint Marie, MI. Easy access to restaurants, a nice park across the street, and close to the Soo Locks Boat Tours. Friendly, helpful staff. A great ice cooler with the biggest and best ice cubes.

I arrived on a Sunday afternoon and noticed that the town was pretty quiet with just a few lingering tourists. After checking in, it appeared I was the only guest and there was an unsavory character cutting through the parking lot. This gave me a mild concern but I soon realized that I should not judge based on one person's... More

The location couldn't be better. It's amazing to walk out of your room and see a longship coming in. Then it's just a quick walk to the viewing area of the Soo Locks. We stayed there for 2 nights. The room was fine, a bit dated, but nice. The only thing that would have been better would have been if... More

We stayed here on a little romantic getaway to the Soo Locks. It's a little motel right across the street from them. The staff was fantastic, helpfull and friendly. They helped us with a late check in and answered every question we had. This was right on the strip, walking distance to bars and restaurants and shopping. Rooms were a... More

A cozy place with a perfect location. The rooms are clean and comfortable, and a good value. The staff is wonderful...helpful, accommodating, and the nicest people you can hope to come across. The Soo Locks are right across the street and we could watch them from right outside our room (You can also hear them during the night.). The property... More

The rooms aren't large or luxurious but they're squeaky clean and very comfortable. The Sault Sainte Marie locks are almost directly across the street so you can chat with your neighbors in a chair by your door and dash over to the locks if you see an interesting boat coming through. Or just hang out for awhile in the park... More
