Went into the restaurant for breakfast, with a party of four and was seated right away. The service was excellent, very quick and friendly. Drinks were brought out within 5 minutes of arriving. Coffee refills throughout the meal. Our waitress took our order and the good food did not take long to come out either. It was nice big portions and hot!! Excellent 10/10 recommend
We were 2 girls from out of town checking out the Friday night Terrace scene. While this place at first glance looked a little rough around the edges, the staff and establishment was very welcoming with a strong sense of security. We did not feel on edge. The ladies behind the bar had a friendly and no nonsense attitude, the shuttle driver was nice and the bouncers were keeping watch. It felt like our own tiny town bar at home, where everyone was visiting and having a good time. Highly recommend for a true small town vibe.
Excellent Pub, Service is fast and friendly! Good Food! Rooms are very clean, comfortable, and maintained! Giving a 4 star only because bit of older decor. Really great spot to lay your head when traveling through! Highly recommend
We used the restaurant for breakfast. Prices were reasonable for the quality and quantity of food. Service was friendly and quick.
I recently hosted my daughter’s birthday party here, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience! The service was outstanding—friendly, attentive, and so accommodating. The food was absolutely delicious and beautifully presented. Everything ran smoothly, and the team made sure the day felt special for everyone. Highly recommend for any celebration!!
Staff treated me like family. Manager went out of his way to get me to airport. The food was perfectly prepared. The breakfast I had was out of this world. 2 eggs with bacon ham cut up mixed in with the potato cut hash browns covered in hollandaise sauce so good.
My wife and I of 50 years were celebrating our mile stone event at the Northern Motor Inn banquet room. The manager and the chef took on our event with a personal and committed attitude. The planning of the event was very professional! Everything from the banquet room decor, to the food planning and presentation was fantastic! They served 47 of us with a delicious menu, including hot appetizers, 5 main course dishes, and exquisite dessert table. Everything was fresh and delicious. We would highly recommend the team to assist you in making any special event of yours one to remember! Sincerly, Diane and Dale.
Friendly service, cosy and quiet stay. Enjoyed the modern room with updated shower and sink. It was nice to enjoy breakfast without leaving the building. No elavator, so the stairs were an inconvenience with a bunch of luggage but if staying for a quick overnight it’s not too bad. Highly recommended.
Next to Highway 37, this budget motor inn is 7.2 km from Northwest Regional Airport.
