Good hotel for the money

The room was clean and fresh smelling, but no air conditioning. It wasn’t necessary though because it was cool at night. Excellent shower pressure. The food service was slow in the morning, the coffee wasn’t made when we entered the restaurant at 8:10.

Very quiet and cozy rooms and clean . The dining options are great . The inhouse restaurant had great food as well . We tried the grilled fish and veggies and chicken Biriyani for dinner and they were quite delicious. There is another restaurant at the gate if you would like to taste something different. Both these restaurants serve good food . The staff were great as well . Convenient location as it’s 10 mins to Wawa downtown. Also located within 10 mins is the scenic high falls and the Michipicoten FN territory .

The copse of trees provides a visual and auditory buffer from the highway, and allows nature to surround you, refocusing your eyes on the verdant vistas below. The motel rooms are no frills, but have comfortable beds, soft towels, and cleanliness. The real star is the restaurant, though. The Indian family that runs the property and restaurant have brought their native flavors to the north woods of Canada, and every bite ie better than the last. My first evening I tried the Chicken Tikki Masala, the second I opted for the house specialty Butter Chicken. Both were perfectly made, mild, and delicious. The rice and naan were expertly made. Kush and her family were gracious hosts and hostesses, exuding kindness and humbleness. Frankly, I was surprised the restaurant wasn't packed to the gills. I would guess that the restaurant nearer to the road probably draws more patronage for the proximity to the thruway. If what you need is a simple place to relax in natural surroundings without wandering far from the road, I highly recommend Best Northern.
