Very comfy beds and newly remodeled room interior. One thing they forgot however is a dinette set. A kitchen without a place to eat your tasty vitals makes no sense.

Check in great. They called me when we were coming in late giving instructions to get in room. Got in late. Older property. Walked across floors with white socks. Socks were dirty from floors. Room was ok otherwise. Beds were comfortable. Shower pressure nice. Not a bad stay for the money, just older property.

A little out of the way but worth it for the price

The motel is very well decorated and clean inside. Outside is clean, but plain. It’s next to the railroad tracks so the train horn woke me up a few times, but my adult grandson slept through it. I’ll stay at Caribou Gem again if I’m in the area

I was surprised to see we had a kitchen in our unit. Made it great to feed the kids& i appreciated that one of the beds was in a room. There is no heating in the bathroom so it got pretty cold in there but other than that our stay was great. I would recommend some better seating, my father in law is old& was uncomfortable when we were around the table. The unit was very clean& provided what we needed for the night

Very clean - extremly small - could have used a second chair to avoid all but one from having to stand - very handy for a tiny community like Bancroft - no local dining facility - had to travel to next community to eat or buy groceries

I loved the setup of this room. I would have preferred a king but they were all booked… the only complaints I have are the train right next to the property and the front doors were really hard to open and close. Other than that it was clean quiet (besides the train) and it was a much homier feel ran than hotel feel. I’d definitely stay here again and we had a good trip!

The way they've redone these is pretty cute. They look nice, and felt cleaner than I was expecting. The parking lot was a bit icy in spots, but tis the season I guess. I do wish that instead of a little end table under the TV, they had a little table I could sit at to eat. Check out instructions would have been helpful, I called as I tried to leave and couldn't get ahold of anyone from either phone number to ensure I was doing what needed to be done. My only major complaint is that as they clean these rooms, maybe they should check the TV for things saved to the saved watch list by previous guests. I turned on the TV the see pornos saved to the watch list, which I found disgusting. Not only because I'm not into that, but also because I immediately felt that there was no way the bed was clean enough. Overall, I would stay here again, but bring a blanket and a can of Lysol.

For the most part this place was great! Although the bad parts really stuck out and made it not great. The floors were disgusting turning our feet and socks black in a matter of minutes. The beds weren’t too bad for motel beds. They were on wheels which made them roll around but that wasn’t a problem just odd. The shower head had originally been pointed at the wall and ended up flooding the bathroom. We were able to easily fix it but it was annoying to have to deal with in the first place. The tub also drained extremely slowly. By the end of my 10ish minute shower, the water was above my ankles. Overall I’m happy with this place I would’ve just liked a little bit more attention to cleanliness when it comes to after guests leave.
