Trunk Road Motel
Highway convenience ten minutes from downtown
About this stay
The Highway 17 position keeps this motel straightforward to reach and simple to leave from, about ten minutes' drive from downtown Sault Sainte Marie itself. Every room includes free WiFi, a mini-fridge, coffee maker, cable TV and a work desk, covering the essentials without extra frills. The OLG Casino and Agawa Canyon Tour Train sit within 6.2 km, and a Tim Hortons is less than ten minutes' walk away for a coffee run before the day starts. The Canada/US bridge is about 8 km out, and Sault Ste. Marie Airport sits roughly 25 km away. On-site parking is included at no extra cost, and couples rate the location well at 8.8 for a two-person trip. The non-smoking policy applies throughout the property, and the straightforward layout means check-in rarely takes more than a few minutes even during a busy summer weekend on the highway.

Our take
This suits travellers wanting a straightforward highway stop close to both the casino and the Tour Train, without paying a downtown premium. Couples rate this highly for the price point. Anyone wanting to walk directly into the downtown core or onto the waterfront should book closer in, since this trades that proximity for a lower rate and easy highway access.
- ✓Grab coffee at the nearby Tim Hortons before setting out, it is under ten minutes on foot from the room.
- ✓Drive rather than walk to OLG Casino or the Tour Train, both sit within 6.2 km but require a car.
- ✓Allow the full ten minutes into downtown Sault Sainte Marie when planning an evening out from here.
Why we love it

For families, its value lies in location: the Agawa Canyon Tour Train departs within 6.2 km, so an early start for the day trip is easy.
