We enjoyed our stay at North Bay Inn. Check in was smooth with the desk staff pleasant, professional & helpful. Room was very clean & comfortable, having everything we needed including small fridge with freezer, microwave, coffee maker & hair dryer. A recycling option would be nice! The beds memory foam topper/ mattress & lush pillows offered us great nights sleep. For an older motel its quaint updated exterior is welcoming, as well as its ample front door parking. While we could hear some conversations outside the room, inside was extremely quiet & void of other guests noise/ presence. Additionally, the location & overall price was convenient for us & offered easy access to the main roadways, nearby shops & restaurants. Highly recommend!

We stayed for one night on our northern road trip at the end of March 2025. We met the owner who was very helpful and very attentive to anything we might need. The room was very clean and up to date. Our overall stay was very pleasant. I would greatly recommend you stay here!

I have never stayed in a motel were someone was so polite. Our room felt so comfy. We stayed in the room with a fireplace and it was great. We came for our 1st anniversary and will definitely come back. Great price for the room. Very clean. Ty Drew.

We spent the night so that we could attend an event in North Bay. The first thing that I thought when I walked into our room was how clean it smelled and looked. We had very friendly service when booking the room and this was one of the few hotels that I've stayed at that has great water pressure in the showers. We will definitely return when we have another event to attend in North Bay..

My husband and I stayed here for our vacation. The staff were incredibly nice and helpful. We checked out early (so that we could beat the traffic on the way home) and they were very accommodating of this. The room was clean, the air conditioning worked great, and the bed was very comfy. There is a beach access and quite a few restaurants within walking distance.

2-star hotel with a 4-star vibe. Everything is new, everything works, and they have real hotel locks on the doors. Very clean, well-designed, easiest check-in experience ever, excellent value for money. Dhruv and his wife are very friendly and helpful. We'll be looking for an excuse to revisit North Bay just so we can stay here again!

Very clean, pretty quiet despite being near a road, unpretentious but nice and not cookie cutter. We had a good night. The guy at the desk was pleasant and friendly and had a super smile. We would come back.
