Pioneer Inn by the River

Owner was happy to stay in office to check us in after midnight because our ferry was late

Owner is very nice and was available after midnight because of our late arrival.

The drapes and furniture were dirty to the extent that you didn't want to touch them The bed on the other hand was new and clean sheets. It had and old quilted spread which I discarded. The bathroom was clean but the Reno was done by a not so handy handyman. A "C" for effort. It was very expensive for the lack of quality but they have a captive ferry trade Not recommended.

Really lovely staff and good experience

Great little motel. Older but extremely comfortable and very clean and quiet.

friendly staff, breakfast snacks for the am, great restaurant adjacent to the hotel

The photos didn't match the rooms. More maintenance needs to be done overall.

The room was spacious and accomodating, with a large refrigerator and cook stove in the kitchenette. The living area was comfortable. The setting was great for those of us who live rural, natural beauty. The building itself badly needed exterior paint and maintenance.

Older hotel, price high for what you get. Compliments breakfast was nice. Rooms are old and run down. Lots of guest fishing with own boats and park in the stalls right in front of rooms which made it inconvenient. Boats could be parked elsewhere rather than in front of rooms.

Sofa bed need to be changed it’s too old and when you enter the room it’s not a good smell n

The manager stayed up very late to accomodate us getting off the ferry. The complimentary breakfast was very good. The staff was very friendly

Rustic well run clean well organized. Suites are great for families. Restaurant had great food .

It was close to the ferry was its only attribute.

safe

Nice selection of breaky and coffee early morning to acccomodate guests catching early ferry. Did not like catering to fisherman and allowing them to take up parking spaces outside the rooms with both truck and boats!

It was a wonderful experience and this I know I will never go again to north Ontario

The first thing that struck me was the shabbiness of the railings on the 2nd floor of the Inn. The paint was peeling off the boards and it looked as though its needed maintenance for quite a while. Didn't exactly privide a warm, welcome feeling after traveling all day. Aside from that however, the lobby was OK, the owners were cheerful, and check-in went smoothly. The room was clean with modern fixtures; no complaints there. I was able to park my vehicle right in front of the room. Painting the railings would be a definite improvement!

The rooms were clean and serviceable, nothing fancy. The manager lived onsite and was friendly but hard to understand at times.

It was great!

Price for one night for what we got, the sofa bed almost didn’t pull out we were afraid to pull out, lack of amenity for price, room had a weird smell

Older property but well managed

great overnight stay, staff was great

Nice place for one night

The room was ok. It was clean clean. The property is a little dated. Definately not worth what I was charged for 1 night

A

The room was clean and area was quiet due to being a little out of town. However, it is the little things that make or break. The bed was hard, the light switch in the bathroom was hidden behind the door, the coffee pods provided were one cup and the coffee pot was four cup. The cord was too short to reach the intended outlet. The gentleman who checked us in was poorly organized. We did not take advantage of breakfast as we had to be at the ferry at 6AM. It appeared it might be available that early.

Good for an overnight on/off the ferry. Nice ppl. Clean. A little dated, but still good. Area around property absolutely gorgeous

It was a nice enough property. The bed was too hard and the price was steep considering we just needed a few hours sleep coming in off the ferry at 1 AM. But that of course was not their responsibility. They were gracious to be there to welcome us at that hour!

great location near ferry terminal, needs major renovation, polite and efficient check in, good location for fishing charters, reasonable pricing.

When we first drove up it seemed a little old looking, maybe could use a paint job but the manager was nice, check in was easy. The room was very clean, all the beds including the pullout were comfortable. I loved that there was a bedroom separate from the main area for the 3 kids. Bathroom was clean and nice. Kitchen area we didnt use except the sink to wash our hands, which was nice and large. The only thing was...you could hear the people upstairs, which sounded like a heard of elephants wearing clogs, and I was like what the heck is going on up there? We couldn't sleep from 11-12 so I finally went to look at who could be making SO MUCH NOISE, and there was maybe 8 people sitting around eating! I said, "its late and we cant sleep its too noisy up here, can you guys please be a bit quieter?" and they said "ok," then it was very quiet after that. I seriously thought it was being renovated it sounded so loud. Also the thing that bothered me and I forgot to mention to managment was there is no chain or secondary lock on the door, just the door knob. I would have felt more secure with the chain on the door, but we had a great night sleep and we were safe the people were friendly. They also provide some snacks for morning ferry people which was great at 5 am!! Crossoints (sp) cookies, fruit, coffee etc. That was so nice. All in all I thought the place was very good.

It was clean and adequate, I can't really comment more than that. We arrived around 1 a.m., (ferry from Rupert) just slept and left as soon as we got up. Staff member was nice, he waited for us.

Helpful staff
