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?
