Clam Lake Junction — Hotel in Town of Gordon

TL;DR: No staff on site after hours. If there is a problem after hours, you are on your own because no one answers the phone. ||||Small motel (6 rooms) in a very isolated area. Per hotel policy, I had notified them of arrival after 6 pm and received the key code. When I arrived around 9:35 pm, I had difficulty retrieving the key from the key lock-box; I called the posted after-hours number and received assistance. Unfortunately a few minutes later, after dropping off most of my belongings in my room, I accidentally locked myself out of it. The front door key I had retrieved didn't unlock the room door. I called the same after-hours number but no one picked up. Over the next 2 hours, I called over 20 times, left several voicemails and also texted and emailed, without response. The area was deserted, I was out of drinking water and there were no toilets nearby. ||I ended up calling the police, who also tried to contact the owner without success. In the end, an officer arrived and suggested trying the windows. With the help of two other hotel guests, the window was opened from the outside (without damaging it) and I was finally able to get back into my room by 11:40 pm. ||In the morning the owner was quite nonchalant about it, claiming that he had poor reception and didn't get any messages until 5 am.||Since the owners don't want to be bothered after hours, they could at least update the door locks to modern keypad locks to prevent accidental lockouts.||||The room was otherwise spacious and clean, with comfortable beds and pillows. Room amenities included minifridge and microwave. Conveniently located power sockets. Bathroom with shower and toilet only, however the sink wasn't right in front (as it's usually the case) but located along another wall int the room. Shower with good water pressure.||Wifi provided (I didn't have time to use it). Easy parking in front of...

While on a road trip me and my family hit a deer and our radiator was leaking. We were so lucky that we had a place to stop at Clam Lake Junction. Mike is an amazing human and so so helpful. He took a look at my car and realized I would need a tow. He put us into a room for free and set us up with a tow for the morning. Another customer came through that night and Mike actually got us set up that night to get towed by the customer to our destination! Very helpful and such a wonderful person. This will forever be our stop for anything we need while in the area! I highly recommend making this your family stop! The rooms were very spacious and had an at home feeling to them. I love the wooden rocking chairs! They were a beautiful accent and wonderful...

We have stopped here a few times always treated well. We came camping and the gnats were very bad. We went looking for some forgotten items and bug spray. They had everything we needed and when I ask what the locals use the laughed but showed is a natural bug repellent and we’re super nice offer us samples to see if it worked before we bought it. The prices are reasonable for location and convenience. The employees will make a business at the customer level no matter the cost of products and the employees here are great felt like my local stores that I frequent. PS the natural bug repellent worked and I liked the sent… might wear...
