The hotel was clean but the noise from the train was slightly annoying.

I was surprised to see we had a kitchen in our unit. Made it great to feed the kids& i appreciated that one of the beds was in a room. There is no heating in the bathroom so it got pretty cold in there but other than that our stay was great. I would recommend some better seating, my father in law is old& was uncomfortable when we were around the table. The unit was very clean& provided what we needed for the night

Very clean - extremly small - could have used a second chair to avoid all but one from having to stand - very handy for a tiny community like Bancroft - no local dining facility - had to travel to next community to eat or buy groceries

I loved the setup of this room. I would have preferred a king but they were all booked… the only complaints I have are the train right next to the property and the front doors were really hard to open and close. Other than that it was clean quiet (besides the train) and it was a much homier feel ran than hotel feel. I’d definitely stay here again and we had a good trip!

The train across the street honks its horn three times as it passes the building. It was a little hard to sleep

It is the best motel in town. If you are a train enthusiast, it is great.

The rooms are super cute and you can park right by the door to your room. It’s a super small town with no amenities so make sure you have everything you need. The kitchenette was stocked and nice to have, it was tucked in the corner with plenty of space in the rest of the room.
