Super 8 by Wyndham Moosonee

The Super 8 in Moosonee is a pretty standard budget hotel. The room was clean and comfortable and included a microwave and mini fridge. The breakfast was OK, pretty standard budget hotel fare. The employees were helpful, and they do allow you to leave your bags until the train back to Cochrane arrives. My one complaint is the price; it was triple the price of a similar hotel in Cochrane. While I wouldn’t expect a hotel in an out of the way place like Moosonee to be the same as in a more accessible location, I feel this is excessive and the owners are taking advantage of the fact they have little competition. If I were to go back, I would try to book something with one of the locals who have B&Bs and self catering lodging.

The hotel was clean and my room was great with a seating area and laundry. However, when I arrived I was assigned the wrong type of room - not the one I had reserved. It was resolved, but that added a bit of stress to my trip that was not necessary. I strongly recommend that you bring your own dishes and cutlery because even though there is a microwave and a fridge in your room, there are no dishes and this is pretty important in a town where there are no restaurants and you have to cook/heat up food in your room. It would be nice if the hotel could begin to provide these for its guests given the limitations in the town. There were lots of drawers and cupboards and counter space, and there was a coffee maker in the room. The breakfast provided each morning was appreciated and adequate even though it was the same every day, but it was disappointing that the hot food (hashbrowns, sausages) is only provided when they have a lot of guests - so if you’re there on a less busy weekend for example, you are out of luck. Finally, there is rarely anyone at the front desk and when you do need help (for example, you can’t get the ice machine to work) and you buzz and you call, no one ever comes. The lobby/breakfast area is comfortable and being able to stay there after checking out (and needing to wait the six hours for the train to leave town) was greatly appreciated.

I am an international traveler, and, for the value, this is the most expensive hotel I have ever stayed. Staff at Super 8 was friendly and very helpful. The hotel is brand new! Everything is in perfect condition; but it is way too expensive. This is the only hotel in Moosonee that can be booked thru internet. Without it you are at the mercy of very disorganized and equally PRICEY inns who don't or rarely answers their phone or email.

The property is clean and comfortable. The staff were friendly. Our room had a fridge and microwave and coffee machine.We knew that there were no restaurants in Town so had brought food to heat in the microwave. The breakfast available was suitable and included some hot items. It was a bit pricey for the night, however given the location and the fact that everything has to be brought to this location by train does impact the cost.

This hotel is the only hotel in Moosonee As a result Super8 clearly use that as a means to charge super inflated prices - by comparison I paid a similar price per night for 4* hotels in Montreal / Ottawa, and far less for much nicer properties in Charlottetown, Timmins and Cochrane. Very poor value for money.

NO ELEVATOR and they were painting 1st floor so I had to carry my luggage up the flights of stairs to second floor. If you have a mobility issue, ensure you get a room on first floor. I don’t see how they got away without having one considering the ADA…
