Room was good. Had a kitchenette. It was clean and the bed was fine. Had a little portable heater in the room. The manager controls the main heat. I was worried at first but the first night it dipped down to 23 degrees and even with the little heater I woke up sweating so it was fine. Only complaint is the price. 99 a night? Simple roadside motel with a portable heater. This was easily a 50 dollar a night motel. But as with every motel I looked at in the area, they are all over priced.
My first time staying here. Nothing fancy or over the top, but it has everything you need. The cabin I stayed in was a little dated but I wasn't there to hang out in the room. All I needed was a place to sleep, shower and keep some beer cold and make a meal or two. The staff was great and I will definitely be back if I have stay the night in Waddington again.
This is where DSS placed us and we can't complain it's really nice and comfortable which we really needed
Rooms and cottages are well kept and close to the launches. Only issue seems to be the owners confusion of when we called to make reservations, and upon arrival not knowing we HAD reservations! They had to scramble to ready rooms for the 7 of us. Other than that it's a very nice place to stay.
The place was great. Johan is an amazing gentleman. Always kind a courteous, the view is amazing it’s out in the middle of rt. 37 in its own place, quiet and serene, not to far from accommodations or shopping. Great place for a quiet getaway with the spouse. Affordable place, thank you for all you do for us when we stay there. Making sure we have all we need.
I'm giving 5 stars for the kindness shown by the owner/manager. The room we asked for wasn't available, so he put us in a cabin instead. We didn't begin to need all the room it had in it, but it was kind of him to accommodate us like he did. This is right on the St. Lawrence and has a beautiful view. Coffee is available in the mornings, but no breakfast. For the price, you can't beat it. It's a quiet location...mostly fishermen. We would definitely stay there again.
The owner is extremely nice and helpful. The rooms are very clean and at a good price as well. I enjoyed the great view of the st Lawrence river from my room. I definitely recommend staying here.. I will come.back again! Thank you for a great visit
Wonderful place to stay, great personable service. Beauful setting. The owner is more than accommodating and goes above and beyond to make your stay a great one. Would definitely recommend
