My softball team and I recently stayed at this motel for a weekend. The outside of the motel made me believe the inside would be dirty and grimy as well, however, the rooms were clean and fresh. We paid $215 per night which was steep considering the size and amenities available. On our second day, the owner called me into his office and had me sign two $100 deposit forms (one for each room we had booked). My brother booked an additional room and didnāt have to sign for a deposit at all. After we left, the owner sent me pictures of a broken bolt on a toilet and said he wouldnāt be returning either deposit. So thatās $200 for a broken bolt. I asked to see a receipt but he refused saying he didnāt have to show proof. Despite there being ādamageā to only one room, he decided it was his right to keep both deposits.

Ā Ā Ā Read moreWe are a group of 7 adults and were on 6 motorcycles visiting Manitoulin Island from Detroit, MI USA for the 3 day "Ride Manitoulin Motorcycle Rally". I found the Mindemoya Motel via web search and called to reserve two rooms for 7 adults. When we arrived we checked in with Nick, the owner. That's when we found out that one of the rooms had only a double bed in it. But, for the other room, Nick had hooked us up with an "apartment". It had two bedrooms, a bathroom, kitchen and living room with a hide-a-bed sofa. If you're looking for Hilton or Hyatt accommodations, then take your stuck up nose somewhere else.
