Old Country Motel

It’s okay for an overnight stay. Owner is welcoming and he is also the owner of Modern Motels. This is the cheapest motel that can be found in ThunderBay. Everything is close to this motel. Our cat was welcomed here. Don’t expect too much when you come here. Not very clean. Bedsheets had stains and we used the bedsheets that we had in our hands. Not much lighting. Got three lamps in the room, one TV with no Netflix (channels available), coffee maker, microwave, mini fridge. Washroom is fine. Building is old. Quiet place.

The motel room was dirty, poor lighting, appliances were dirty. I booked this reservation online as do many travellers ...in the pictures it does not show the filthiness of the rooms. The outside of the rooms there is old mismatch run down dirty chairs in front of each room..broken appliances litter the yard. The rooms are very dirty, I can live with old decor but not dirt. We stayed 3 days as we were visiting friends . I was very tempted to look for another place to stay but had already paid for this room. At $60 dollars per night I guess you get what you pay for. We never got clean towels over 3 days here, and we had to dump our own garbage. These owners are lazy and should look around at other motels to see what they need to do to increase business. I do highly recommend if you think about staying here, prepare yourself for disappointment..

Price was super cheap at $67 a night. Obviously don’t expect any frills for this cost. All I wanted was a bed I could sleep in, a door that locks, and a relatively clean room - I got all of that. As a bonus the owner was a nice guy. Only reason I’m not giving 5 stars was because it was a dimly lit room: only three lamps and one wasn’t working.

The guy who checked us in was very nice.But quality of the room is very poor. Towels appear clean and water pressure is excellent.Room needs a good cleaning.This place some how gives me the heebie jeebies. IE. Strange sounds in the walls, Odd characters on the premise. Shady area.Door locks don't feel secure. No chain lock nor dead bolts.But it was pretty cheap.

My friend and I stayed here for two nights over the weekend and it was quite disappointing.The room was not clean, the bed sheets were full of stains and questionable marks. The top blanket literally had (male) bodily fluids on it. I had asked for new sheets and he brought us two top sheets, which also had stains and hair on them.The bathroom had holes in the wall where the towel rack used to be, the sink wasn't fully attached to the wall, and there was mould on the bottom of the shower curtain. Towels were stained, no ventilation, and the light was barely functional.The kitchenette included a counter space with a sink, dirty dishes on the shelf, a dirty microwave and dirty mini fridge.The air conditioning was a window unit but the control panel was half melted, somehow. It was also held into the window with a cloth or sweater of some sort, so if that was moved, its directly open to the outside.The headboard of the bed was sticky.Poor lighting and the electrical outlets were absolutely a fire hazard, my friend got zapped while plugging in the tv.We ended up buying Lysol spray and wipes, as well as our own blankets to use as we had already checked in and payed. We cleaned every single surface of the room and sprayed the beds down before we did anything else.No bugs that we had noticed.When the front desk man had showed us our room and showed us how to do the code, he said it out loud multiple times even though there was another guest outside right beside us.Not sure if all rooms are as bad as this one. We stayed in room 6.We stayed here 7 years ago and had a great experience. We will not be returning and it is too bad the place was not kept up.

They wanted a $100 damage deposit using a credit card. You make the hotel industry bad. People don't go around destroying their hotel rooms. This is a first for me.

The first time I stayed here it was a compromise - very... Bates'ish but in a pinch I was going to give it a second chance but then the guy kept changing his story with the booking till I had zero confidence that I would have a room waiting for me so I booked elsewhere.

Best value place in Thunder Bay. 100% will be staying here again

I needed a place for myself while I found my own place to stay. Ron, the owner, was super amazing. Low prices, great room and service. Always asking me if I needed anything and helped me with the bus times. If I ever need a place to stay I will definitely be going here again. Thank you to Ron for being such a good guy.

If you're looking for the Ritz- don't come here. If you're looking for rest, comfortable clean beds, a clean, deep tub with amazing water pressure- this is your place! Not to mention the proprietor will always have your back and keep an eye on your belongings.
