I just got back from a 3 day stay at the Calabogie Motor Inn. I was up in the area snowmobiling and this was the perfect place to stay. The rooms are your typical older style motel room. But everything was clean and in working order. Not sure there were many other people staying there at the same time. It's was quiet, easy to access the trails and space to park my truck and trailer. The town has most items that anyone would need also. Thank you for your hospitality.

Perfect right on Snowmobile trails. Rooms were warm and clean Best part we found out we were in adjoining rooms and could visit with our friends without going back outside in the cold. We really appreciated the warm room at -28 upon arrival Thank you for turning up the heat for us. We will be back ;)

We were on an off road motorbike trip late spring. We showed up around 8pm, exhausted, and without calling ahead. We just needed a place to sleep as we'd had a few mishaps in the bush, and didn't have the energy to find a place to camp. Luckily, they had a room available for us. Turned out to be way more than expected. The owners went over and above to make us comfortable. We asked if there was a wash bay in town so we could clean the mud off the bikes in the morning. There wasn't, so they got a hose out for us to use. They offered us their bbq to use instead of our little camp stoves to make dinner. So incredibly accommodating. The room had everything we needed also. If I ever get back to Calabogie, they'll be getting our business without hesitation. Great people.

The room is clean , the beds are not luxurious but comfortable. It’s been painted. Bathroom needs upgrades but it works. There is a fridge and microwave. All in all it does the job. I slept well. It’s a nice village. I would come back.

Over the years we have filled the motel several times. We have a large ATV group. The rooms are adequate to fill our needs. Nothing fancy. Clean and in a good location. We have been allowed to put up a little shelter to cook under as there isn't much in Calabogie for breakfast. We appreciate that. The owners are very accommodating for us. And we will continue to give them our business.

We stayed overnight while touring on the motorcycles. VERY clean room. The young man who checked us in was very friendly, and said if we needed more towels, or anything else, just to let him know. We wondered if there were new owners, as it looked like some updates had been done. Very nice. Would recommend!
