If There Is a Hell...This Is It
March 31, 2013All of these reviews are spot on and not lying a bit. This is a crack house/flop house of a disaster of a place. Sadly, my husband and I were driving across country and hit North Bay blindly at a time when there was a music festval happening and there was nary a room to be had for miles in... more

Sleep on a park bench - it's more comfy and cleaner
February 06, 2013He put us in his "Best" room. Plaster spots everywhere, dirt under everything, dust and dirt on everything, holes in sheets, horrible pillows, the tenant next door began playing guitar at 10:30 and so my son, who booked the room, went to tell the owner we were leaving and he started to yell at my son to shut up and... more

A Cesspool
January 11, 2013When I walked in it felt like I had sunken into the tenth level of hell. The bed was covered in semen stains, there was also some really creepy dolls left in the room and they also have semen stains on the faces and the dresses of them. The washroom floor was rank with urine, and the floor was continually... more

What a complete dive
September 03, 2012WOW, I have never seen such a complete dive, it's like a crack house. Unbelievable, the room was dirty, the bed sheets were so old that you could see right through them and had holes everywhere. The door would barely close and the headboard had fallen off the bed and wasn't repaired. It is run by East Indains who don't... more

Gross Gross Gross
August 21, 2012We needed a hotel room last minute and looked what was around North Bay on our GPS. We called the Sands to reserve 2 rooms for 6 guys after camping in Algonquin back country for a week. Let me tell you, I would have rather stayed in the woods with no tent overnight then to sleep in this dump. This... more

Absolutely Horrible
August 16, 2012
We actually just finished up our annual canoe trip and decided to stay one day in North Bay to end the trip. This place sounded good on paper, but definitely didn't live up to the hype. We paid, went to the room and walked back out and asked for an immediate refund.
Not only was the area unsafe, but was...

Don't Forget Your Hip Waders
July 03, 2012When we arrived the manager had stepped out to go to the bank so we had to wait nearly half an hour for him to return to check us in. They still hadn't made our beds and when they finally did there were no pillowcases. They said they'd bring them in an hour. They never did. Throughout our stay our... more

Complete slum-hole
September 25, 2011
Pulled in here because it was the first place we saw after driving all night...
Crackheads everywhere. Felt completely unsafe. The door of our room was actually standing ajar and when we notified the manager he seemed indifferent about it. Once we got into the room I was appalled at how dingy and shabby it was. There were cigarette burns,...

August 17, 2011

Its disgusting!!!
Upon arrival, I found out that they only accept cash, and the rate changes depending on where you are from?? My first...

Dirtiest place I've seen, avoid at all cost. Better sleep in a park
July 29, 2011First of all, it was pretty obvious to me the shady character at the reception was some kind of junkie. Figured it could not be worse then some place I saw in Morocco, but it was. Only one light in the room. Strange smell, semen stains on the sheets. No towels, no glasses, no ashtray (smoking room). The fluorescent fixture... more

What a dump
February 11, 2011Myself, nine other parents and eight girls were given the luxurious library suite. It was a filthy smelly old bar room. There were two bathrooms with dirty toilets and filthy sinks. We were supplied with an array of beds and "linen" whose cleanliness was highly questionable, a couch, a few chairs and one tv that showed the shopping channel only.... more

Stay away
March 20, 2010My daughter just moved to North Bay so we needed a place to stay for 1 night. The Manager is either hopped up or mentally unstable. When I arrived, he told me check time was 4:00 as it was 4:30 I said that I guessed I was there at the right time. He paused for a moment and then asked... more

Omg
February 03, 2010Dropped in to this hotel and was given a room for $65, checked out the room then decided to take the Honeymoon Suite for an additional $20. The hotel advertised "hot tub and Sauna". Found out that these were located in the honeymoon suite and that when no one was in this room anyone could go in. At first thought,... more

Bad Experience - Very Little Sleep
September 12, 2009We were looking for a quick stopover just for one night. We paid $70 for a Wednesday night. We were given Room 5. We didn't get much sleep. The person in the room above us walked around a lot all night long. It was very loud. Around 4:00am, the person started making even more noise, vomiting for about 30 minutes.... more
