Cleanliness
4
Multiple reviews note cleanliness problems: hair in tub, spider web, garbage in room on arrival, dirty hallways and questionable bathroom cleaning — overall below standard.
Service
8.5
Front desk staff are described as pleasant and helpful in several reviews (helped with reservations, gave local advice), though limited by property constraints (no in-room phones); overall service generally positive.
Location
8.5
Location mentioned positively in multiple reviews; convenient enough that some guests cited location as a pro despite other issues.
Room Quality
6
Mixed room quality: some rooms described as clean and comfortable beds, but others report hard mattresses, noisy linens, limited counter/hanger space, dim lighting and minor damage.
Amenities
3.5
Major amenity failures repeatedly mentioned: pool/heater out of order for months, no hot tub/sauna, Wi‑Fi and phone limitations, no elevator — amenities are a notable weakness.
Value for Money
7.5
Mixed but leaning positive: several guests call it good value for a Super 8, though others say they'd pay a bit more to stay elsewhere next time due to amenity and cleanliness issues.
Food and Beverage
6.5
Breakfast repeatedly described as basic and limited (waffles, toast, yogurt; occasional shortages); not terrible but uninspiring and sometimes poor compared to expectations.
Overall Experience
7.5
Overall stays are mixed: helpful staff and some clean/quiet rooms balanced against closed pool, cleanliness lapses and noise from other guests; guests have a range of experiences but many would consider alternatives next time.

Fix your pool, it's been long enough. And you're still charging people a pool rate
Cons:

When booking, it shows a beautiful luxurious pool in the photo.The pool is broken no hot tub , no sauna , all out of order the worker suggested. We'd go across the street and for a few dollars , we could rent their pool, or we could wait for a refund and then go spend more money across the street to rent a room that would come with a pool, but then you would have to wait for the room that you just rented that you're not gonna stay at to get reimbursed.For poor people that doesn't workthe Wi-Fi didn't work and there are no phones So when I ran to get food and called the front desk to say, could you put me through to Room 213 They said we can't do that we can run up and knock. Huh?

It was ok
Pros:

The beds was nice to sleep in and the room and the motel was clean and very quite the front desks was very helpful with my reservations for 2 nights stay.

Cons:

There was no where to put your clothes you had to leave them in your suitcase. The hot water was warm at best not hot. The pool was out of order and they have no hot tub in the pool area. The bed speeds have seen better days need new ones. The breakfast was ok nothing to write home about had to get coffee in the lobby. No in the breakfast room . Next time I am in the area I will spend the little extra money and stay across the street at the American inn and suites . A lot better place for about the same price

Cons:

The pool was shut down three months ago because of the heater, and staff had no idea when it would be fixed.
There was hair in the tub and a spider web in the corner of the shower. Hardly any counter space in the bathroom.
The mattress was hard and the linens were noisy.
No waffles one morning. Only strawberry yogurt everyday.
No elevator to the second floor.
Only four hangers provided for two adults staying three nights.

Nastiest hotel I have ever stayed in.
Pros:

The sidewalk was broken up and the outside wasn’t very nice.

Cons:

Had a funky smell and it was so noisy. The room wasn’t clean at all.

Pros:

The staff member who checked us in was pleasant and offered good advice on where to eat. The hallway carpet looked new and clean

Cons:

When we arrived, another party was complaining to the desk about not having hot water in their room yesterday or today. We began to wonder if our room would have hot water. It did, but in the morning it took forever to get it. The outside concrete walks had chipped out portions making for uneven surfaces. The pool was closed. There was a small amount of garbage in the garbage can in our room when we arrived and hair in the shower. The Super 8 wall hanging, which was actually a very nice lighthouse picture, had been "doodled" on with a stick man in the lighthouse and a sea monster in the water. The room did not seem to have very much sound proofing and we heard quite a bit of noise throughout the night.

Good value for a Super 8
Pros:

Rooms were quiet. Bed comfortable. Maid service good. Breakfast was only waffles, toast, yogurt- Not bad but not anything special.

Cons:

Room was dimly lit with one overhead light at the door and a desk lamp. No bedside lighting. Room was incredibly dark even by day.

Disappointed!
Pros:

Location

Cons:

After booking online, got to the hotel to find the pool not available. Breakfast was poor. We have stayed in the Sault Ste. Marie Super 8 severl times and their breakfast is amazing. Hallways and little lobby in the middle were filthy. Toilet and shower do not look clean!!! May have been cleaned, but they look rough!!!

Very disappointed
Cons:

The room was pretty disgusting. Hair on the wall, brown liquid dripped in the fridge. Old pieces of red streamers were taped on the walls. Dust everywhere. My son drove 3 hours to visit. We checked in after 4 pm. They couldn’t find our reservation, then assigned us to a dirty room. The pool was out of order. The ice machine also didn’t work. We couldn’t even stay here. We did not even spend the night here. The A/C filter was so dirty and candy wrappers were in the window. The stairs walking to our room was covered in grass and dirt.

A Staff member treated me like I was a problem for trying to check into my room that I had already paid for. The young girl working was wonderful but the older lady was very rude at check in.

I am so embarrassed that I even sent a family member to this facility. I work in the industry and this is unacceptable.

The amount of dust and dirt in this room was kind of mind blowing. Someone (a past guest?) had written “hi” in the dust on the black frame around the bed. Photos below.

I love the location and was happy to spend my money in this town but I would not recommend this facility. Staff either does not care or they’re understaffed at this facility which falls on Super 8. Not sure which it is but this experience left a bad impression.

Pros:

I enjoyed the nearby nature trail.

Cons:

The range of free wi-fi did not extend to my room, so I had to go in lobby to use it.
