Motel in Fort Frances

[Fishoil]

I'm looking for suggestions for a motel in Ft. Frances. Each year our group has been driving to International Falls on a Friday, spending the night, and crossing over on Sat. morning. We've never had a problem with the crossing, but I thought it might work better to get it out of the way when we get there on Friday. That way if we hit a delay it won't matter, it'll just cut in to our cocktail hour, not our fishing the next afternoon.

Anyway, I need a motel that has a big enough lot for trucks with boats behind, is well lit to avoid the chances of theft, and has at least 4 or 5 rooms. A restaurant nearby would be a plus and a cold case of Blue waiting in the room would be a plus plus. ;-) Any suggestions?

The parking lot is to dark at the rendevous, try super 8 it is new and clean. The parking lot is lit and there is no bar so no problems with drunk people bothering your goods.

I don't know I have been going here for years and we have never had a problem and it is lit and they do watch the lot during the night.
But hey each is own I just offered the information based on my visits, I can't talk about the Super 8 cause we have never stayed there.
If you wanted the price on rooms they are about $90 a for 2 queen size beds, and that is american ching.

when we stop at the redevoux we need to make reservationa almost the day we stay for the next year good luck

My wife and I stay at the Makabi Inn (807) 274-9874. It is right downtown FF and while it is older and not the best place in town it is ok for us. The cost I think is around $60 Canadian. There is a restaurant inside too. The lot is lit and there is room for quite a few rigs. We'll be there on 6/10 this year.

La Place Rendezvous worked just fine for us last year. I plan on staying there again this year.

Heard they still have a few open rooms for Friday night on openning week-end in May.

Try the Rainbow motel. Nothing flashy but you can park your boat right in fron of your room. Right across from a gas station, walmart and canadian tire.
