"Pros: We were participating in an overnight car rally running out of Minden so the location was good being on the highway home. Checked in and immediately requested a noon checkout, was granted with no extra charge due to the expected heavy snowstorm. Got organized and only had an hour's rest before heading to the event, then in the morning got back about 8am. Passed on the hotel breakfast and went straight to sleep before heading home at noon. We are thankful for that. Really needed sleep before the 4h drive home. BIG snowstorm that day. Room, bedding etc was clean & warm. Loved the supplied fridge and microwave. Came in handy.
Cons: Being a Motel, the usual issue of other guests having loud conversations right outside your window. Snowmobiles coming and going. No one idled or rev'd their engines at least.
Found the heater noisy. Recommend good earplugs.
Found the washroom got chilly if the door was kept closed.
Parking was a maze of pickups & skidoo trailers but there was a BIG snowstorm so markings were impossible to see.
Lastly, I feel >$200 is pricey for 1 night in a 2-queen bed motel room. The cleanliness and appliances make up for it but I've stayed in bigger, nicer hotel rooms for cheaper in downtown Montreal." ~Jim
