Parkway Motel

We were on our way to Sault Ste. Marie when heavy snow made it impossible to continue our journey safely. Thankfully, we found the Parkway Motel, and it turned out to be a blessing in disguise. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted warmly by the lady at the front desk. She was not only professional but genuinely kind and empathetic, understanding the challenges we were facing due to the weather. She made the check-in process smooth and even offered helpful advice about the local area. Her hospitality truly stood out and immediately made us feel at ease. The room was spotless, cozy, and equipped with everything we needed for a comfortable overnight stay. Despite being a last-minute booking, the accommodations exceeded our expectations. The bed was incredibly comfortable, and the heating worked perfectly, which was much appreciated given the frigid weather outside. The Motel’s location was convenient, and we were impressed by how well-maintained the property was. We also appreciated the thoughtful touches like the complimentary coffee and parking. What could have been a stressful night turned into a pleasant and restful experience thanks to the Parkway Motel and their incredible staff. If you’re traveling through the area, I highly recommend staying here. We’re grateful for the warm welcome and excellent service we received during an otherwise challenging situation. Thank you, Parkway Motel!

We booked a room at this hotel and came as a family. The manager of the hotel knocked on our door and the we opened she came in and started yelling. She was very unfriendly and asked us to leave because we had small kids who in her opinion made too much noise. Our kids were not loud but she was still insisting that we leave. That lady has a very thick accent which is either polish or East European. She absolutely hates kids and families. I will not advice families with kids staying there. It was a very unpleasant experience.

Absolutely spotless motel! Charming decor, comfy beds! Even had glass glasses and ceramic mugs, plus a nightlight in the bathroom (why don’t all motels/hotels have them?). Nice to have a little table and chairs to sit at too. No AC but the ceiling fan helped and it was September anyway. Highly recommend. Best motel we visited during our cross Canada road trip!

We stayed at this property on 2 occasions during our trip to Lake Superior. Both visits (about 2 weeks apart) were fantastic!!! The Parkway is located right off Hwy 17 (Trans Canada Hwy) which made for quick, easy and convenient access on our road trip. We had to drive into town to restaurants and shopping but that was alright. The room was clean, clean , clean and so nicely appointed!!! The added touch of an ice bucket and wine glasses was a welcome change from drinking our evening wine from plastic cups!!! The bed was extremely comfortable and there was plenty of room for the 2 of us! The little chocolates left by the coffee machine was nice! If there is anything I would change it would be the brand of in-room coffee as it was a bit bland. Other than that minor issue, we thoroughly enjoyed our stays at the Parkway Motel. A lasting impression occurred when we were leaving the motel. A lovely lady offered us a small bag of ice for our cooler. Though we declined (our ice packs were frozen and would last us until the next stop), the gesture was much appreciated!!! We would definitely stay here again and will recommend The Parkway Motel to our family and friends!!

This motel is awesome! So many little touches that make it feel homey and comfortable! Cozy blankets on the beds, real glasses (drinking, wine) and coffee cups, Kleenex that doesn’t rub your skin off-these little touches make a huge difference. Beats the heck out of any chain hotel for comfort and value!

Nice little hotel with welcoming hosts. Beds were warm, and comfortable. Showers were hot with good pressure. Located minutes from excellent hunting, fishing, hiking, and sightseeing.

I've traveled all over Canada and North America on my motorcycle countless times. I literally seen thousands of motels hotels, hostels, you name it. |I can honestly say this place is amazing. |The attention to details and pride the owner takes is simply unreal. See attached pictures. What are you traveling in your car or on your motorcycle. This place will blow you away. You could literally eat on the floor. Everything is absolutely spotless. I can't tell enough and say enough about it. If you happen to go through Wawa, and I stayed at a few place in Wawa Ontario; this place takes the top spot. Far enough from the highway to not be disturbed also. Beautiful lawns with chairs and the barbecue in the gazebo as well as awesome chairs and tables outside each room with flowers. |I had seen this place several times during my travels, but the timing was never right. This time it was, and from now on when I come through these parts, I won't sleep anywhere else.|

Our 2- night stay at the Parkway Motel in Wawa was wonderful. The room was super clean and the decor is very attractive. Room rate was very reasonable. They have spent a lot of money doing renovations to the motel, such as new windows and new bathroom fixtures. And their towels are white and fluffy! |We highly recommend this hotel as a great place to rest and relax.|Rolly and Fran Cote|Iroquois Falls, Ontario

Awesome Motel. Super clean, well decorated & renovated. The owners live on site and fully maintain the place really well. The bed was very comfortable & it had everything we needed (bar fridge/freeser, microwave, coffee maker). Nice scenery around & room had it's own internet (worked very well). I highly recommend this place.

This place was awesome. Sparkling clean when I arrived and the front desk staff whom I'm assuming was the owner was very friendly and welcoming. The wifi was a bit spotty and didn't work for an entire day and night I was there. This was difficult as I was traveling internationally and don't have cellular data and therefore rely on having good wifi at my hotel to research things to do in the area. I didn't bother knocking off a star for this though - mostly because everything else was awesome. I would definitely stay again.

I stayed one night at the Parkway Motel on Monday, February 26th. I was driving from Edmonton to the Peterborough area of Ontario. Based on a review of the map the day before, it looked like Wawa, ON was the best place to spend my third night of the trip. Because I had 3 cats with me, I called ahead to book a motel as I needed a pet-friendly room. I actually had to contact a number of motels in Wawa before I found one that (a) answered the phone, (b) had a pet-friendly room available, and (c) was actually open in the winter. Thankfully I found Parkway as they had all three! A note to future visitors ... the Parkway Motel is on Highway 17 just south of the exit to Wawa. It isn't in the main part of Wawa. Therefore, if you want food or need gas, you might want to stop and do those things before going to the motel. I ended up having to backtrack in order to get dinner the night I checked in. And then I had to do the same thing to get gas the next day. There's almost nothing between the Parkway Motel and Lake Superior Provincial Park once you're on the road. Making a reservation and checking into the motel was​ super easy. The owner was very nice and friendly. The room I got was very nice and clean and had everything I needed. And the parking lot was plowed really well, making parking in front of the room super easy. All 3 cats liked the room and were on their best behaviour (as they always are). And bringing stuff to/from the car was easy because I could park right outside the door. One thing I was super impressed with, which may seem funny, was the water pressure in the shower. It was excellent! Sometimes the showers in hotels are less than perfect, but this shower was awesome! Check-out consisted of leaving my key in my room when I left, so I didn't need to go back to the office. That was very convenient. Overall, I would highly recommend this motel if you're staying in Wawa. Although I'm sure the whole experience would be much nicer if it were the summer, but I did enjoy my winter stay and am grateful they were open in the winter (as many places are not).

One of the cleanest Motels I have ever stayed in. The host is very friendly and accommodating. Rooms are quiet and the bed is comfortable and fresh. Bathroom is updated and very clean as well. Yes I would stay here every time we are in the Wawa area! The only thing to be aware of on a hot day is that there isn't an air conditioner installed. Our room cooled down nicely at sundown.

Kind people, clean rooms. The Parkway Motel staff were very kind & kept the office open late for us when we arrived after office hours. The room we stayed in was clean and well-kept - one queen (?) bed, couch, shower & toilet area seperate from the sink. Nothing fancy, but it does the trick for a good night's sleep. Would recommend if in the area.

Amazingly clean and quiet little place. Owners are at desk and sharp negotiators. Nice gas grill to cook with and she is drying our beach towels from the lake today. They invested in updates and it shows.

Clean and respectable The place is very well maintained by a lovely Polish couple. The rooms are well-decorated, with two queen (double?) beds, a large bathroom area with separated sink and toilet/shower area which makes sharing a room with a family a lot easier. Room comes with microwave and minifridge (w freezer). The room was very clean and well-kept. Would highly recommend. We booked ahead of time, and the owner thankfully stayed up and open till 11 to make sure she was there for us. I spent $100 taxes included for the night

Wonderful place to stay! Very up-to-date! Ultra clean rooms and welcoming/friendly owners! Soft water for showers is great! Microwave, coffee maker, 32" flat screen TV, refrigerator, table and chairs to eat meals or play cards! Refrigerator actually freezes your ice packs for coolers! We will be back to stay at this A++++ motel!
