“For those wanting to explore on foot, this is the spot: park the car once and forget about it. Immediate access to shops, restaurants, and the Soo Locks-it's all right there, including the Valley Camp museum. I appreciate the staff's local knowledge, and though some might find the rooms a touch dated, cleanliness and comfortable beds win every time.”
