Ramada Plaza Ojibway, Sault Ste Marie

When i first arrived with my family, i thought it seemed like a nice place for us to stay. but upon seeing the room, i realized i was mistaken. the room was small and wreaked of some fowl oder and it didnt seem to me very clean... when complaining to the front desk ( who looked like a hobo with a long dark beered untrimmed ) he assured me it was a nice room, but changed us to a different one room my request.. what a surprise!...same problems in the other room. The restaraunt was nice, the food was OK, not great. The bar area seemed to be well decorated. the view was exceptional. all in all, i will not stay here again!

This hotel has a great older sault feel. It has an extensive history and excellent food. You are right next to the soo locks and shopping downtown. One of the other nice amenities is if you do not want to go to Freighter's or the Captain's pub, there are many wonderful bar and grills and unique restaurants right out front.

We had read reviews of the hotel online and thought it would be a nice place to make our base as we explored into Canada and around the Upper Peninsula ... bad mistake. The decor of the hotel is wa-a-a-ay outdated - floral wallpaper, ruffles, floral bedspreads, all really showing wear and tear. And the place reeked of some horrible musty, floral smell, like a really strong room fresher was hidden somewhere to cover up bad odors. The rooms are small compared to most motels these days and the elevator was so slow we hiked up and down three floors everytime we left and returned. The restaurant food was just OK, nothing special. One very irritating incident happened the one morning we decided to eat breakfast in the hotel (not included in the room price, the only place we have stayed in the past 10 years that didn't include a breakfast!). As we entered the dining room, a small breakfast buffet was set up along the entry wall. We made a point of walking by it to check out what was on the buffet, and the food looked OK, typical scrambled eggs, hash browns, biscuits and gravy, fruit, etc. But when we were seated and told our waiter we would just take the buffet, we were informed it was only for a bus tour group staying at the hotel. The hotel clients are almost exclusively from these bus tours and range in age from 70 to 95. On the plus side, the hotel is close to the locks if you want to spend some time watching ships from around the world move from one of the lakes to the other.

great location, right next to the park and the locks, downtown near restaurants. A fine hotel, more classy than the chains. I would go here every time if it was more in my price range
