Took a little bit time to check in, but the rooms are clean and cultured, the staff are nice, the washrooms are cultured and clean too. The aesthetic suits the surrounding area of Algonquin Park and Papineau Beach. Clean well water, fully equipped kitchen, and a great experience overall. Only 15 minutes from beach and 30 minutes from Algonquin Park. Grocery store right infront too! To say the least, the #purplepalace does the job and for simple folk like me thats more than enough.

This place smells like mold and mildew is everywhere. You stand in the shower and it drops a foot down. Probably was server water damage. Wouldn't be surprised if it drops through the floor soon! This place had bed bugs. We have bits all over our arms, hands, necks, and heads...so disgusting! If any hitched a ride home with us this place will be sorry. No structural work has been fixed on this place only cosmetics to try and hide everything. The railings are not even attached to the walls. Make sure you don't try and climb them if you've been drinking. This place is on a slant. You feel like your

Wish I had stayed here longer but I really enjoyed my short stay here. Super cool hotel, if I stay again Ill check out another room. Stayed in the Monty Python room and really enjoyed it. Wish I got to check out their restaurant. FYI - parking situation here is super confusing (wish someone told me when I booked). They have a SUPER SMALL parking lot, there are two adjacent parking lots that both say exit only and it looks like you need to pay. Had to park on Broadway street in 3 hour parking but I didnt get a ticket.

I've been coming here since the early 2000's. It is a well equipped and comfortable hostel with a northern Ontario quaintness. The rates are very reasonable, even for a private, large room outfitted with a couch. I'd love to see a fire pit added to the amenities. The staff are friendly and helpful, and the building is clean. I've always been able to find a room here whenever I've needed one. This is excellent basic accommodation without frills or luxuries. Be prepared that the stores in town close early, by 6pm (even the gas station) so if you are arriving later than that, stock up prior to arrival

Nevermind expensive motels, this place is amazing! Full kitchen, common area with massive half moon couch and big screen tv, rooms are small but comfortable beds and excellent service from the owner and his staff. Highly recommended for the lone traveler or couples.
