Great comfort and affordability

The outside looked a little rough but once I entered my room it was amazing. Comfortable, clean, and quiet. The owners were so nice. Price was very reasonable.

Dave

Liked: Cleanliness
The facility is obviously older and in the process of being renovated. The room was good. The television had problems in that the volume was not controllable and was loud so I was reluctant to use it because of my respect for others. Unfortunately, there was not mutual respect because at 0130 there were still multiple groups of people having loud conversations and making a lot of noise. There were vehicle arrival and departures throughout the night with some of them very loud and left idling for prolonged periods. Staff was friendly and helpful but not professional. Can not recommend to others.

Phone numbers are not in service

The hotel says if you’re gonna check in after 8 PM to Phone ahead and make arrangements. So when we tried to call the number on hotels.ca and the phone number on the hotels website, none of them were in service we couldn’t get a hold of anybody and we got there Hotel was locked up and we could not check in. Had to go stay at another hotel.

Blast from the past

From the outside motel looks like right out of the 60s. The room we had has been updated. New laminate flooring and stone floor in bathroom. Bed was okay, could have been firmer. It was -40 outside, and the heat worked to keep inside warm. Little touches around the edges, such as cleaning around door handle all the dark smudges on white door. Better dusting. For the price, am not complaining too much. I would stay here again.

Very clean, organized, well equiped and comfortable room plus very kind and helpful manager. I really enjoyed my stay here and recommend it to everyone. P.s. although we were here for winter season and it was very cold, but heating system was super functional and very comfy. Thanks to the manager.

The staff had lost my booking and the motel was full, so I booked elsewhere through the app. Just after I finished confirming, the clerk came out having found the reservation, but I took my family elsewhere.

Although visibly outdated style-wise, the floors had new laminate, the furniture and bed/mattress were also new. The gentleman at the front desk was exceptionally friendly, generous and helpful. I highly recommend the Satellite for all your overnight stays in MH.

Fast and friendly check-in. Amenities as described. Comfortable beds. No penalties for changing from 3 days to just one. This is a low cost motel so don't expect fancy perks or extras but it is great value.

Very clean and comfortable room. Great beds. Shower was clean and plenty of hot water. There was a power outage due to the snow storm affecting the transformer but power was restored shortly after our arrival. Very accommodating staff who were really concerned that the power outage impacted our stay. The property is not attractive on the outside....classic hiway-side motel complete with a half-broken neon sign. Room were great though.

As previous reviewers stated the room is exceptionally clean. The area the motel in might have you questioning your choice. Found it to be quiet at a reasonable time & was comfortable in the room. Front desk staff was friendly & very helpful.

The cons This is an old motel, could have used brighter lights, by 6 am noticed the truck traffic on the highway The good It had new flooring, king size bed Was comfortable, was very clean, it’s right on the highway so easy to get on and off If you’re driving through and looking for a less expensive room to spend the night , it’s good value

Great room for the price!

Room was nice and clean. Way better than what you normally get for that rate. Comfortable and had great fridge and coffee maker. Owners were super friendly and helpful and helped us find a good spot to park our car with trailer. Pet fee is a bit high, but I'm assuming some pet people in past have messed up the rooms. Would definitely stay here again!

I liked that the room was clean and the beds were comfortable. The service was friendly and we had Wifi, Fridge, Microwave and coffee in the room. The floors were very nice (laminate and granite). I didn't like that the bathroom door stuck and I couldn't lock it.
