IF!!!!! you have to be in Marathon in April,(and any other month), this is the best place by far to stay. Clean rooms, quiet, really pleasant staff and a nice continental Breakfast included. Great view from behind the hotel for sunsets. If you are not a deep sleeper stay away from the back rooms as the train tracks are right... More

Had business in the area and this place was recommended. The other reviews pretty well cover it. No complaints, just good clean basic accommodation. Plus the alternatives in the area don't look very appealing so I would return. I'm told it is usually full so be sure to book! More

I have stayed here on a number of occasions while on business in the Marathon area. It is extremely clean, the staff are very friendly, the beds are and the continental breakfast is more than adequate. If you are travelling through Northern Ontario, and in the area looking for a good place to spend the night it's worth the 4km... More

This is not your usual roadside motel, a bit of home away from home. The receptionist stays at her station till 10 pm and you can chat her up for information. The rooms are spacious and clean. You can help yourself to tea/coffee at the reception all day and use the microwave to reheat your own food if you wish.... More

My wife and I stayed in this facility overnight and found it to be a single storey, small (16 room) motel on our way to Regina. The staff were genuinely friendly, the service was very good and pleasant and while the room was basic it was clean. Our impression was that this is a private establishment where the owners take...

Finding a nice hotel between Thunder Bay and Sault Ste. Marie (over 700 km) is not easy, as there are no large towns. We read the reviews of this hotel, and it looked promising. The reviews are correct: this is a (suprisingly?) good place to stay! The management has a somewhat idiosyncratic way of referring to the rooms as "singles"... More

I'd certainly stay here again on a long-distance trip although, as the hotel is located in a commercial area with no view, there are probably better places if you're looking for a base to explore the area. There's internet access, with a $3 charge to rent an ethernet cable (or you could bring your own). Breakfast is included; you load... More

When traveling hwy 17 from Ottawa to Western Canada, Marathon is about half way across Ontario. My family and I booked into the Marathon Harbour Inn. It was clean, well priced, modern and staff were friendly. Next time we drive across Ontario, the Marathon Harbour Inn will be in our travel plans. I would recommend this motel to anyone looking...
