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.

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.

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…

Comfortable beds, a breakfast included, and a good amount of lighting - even if there were many other accommodation options in town (and there aren't), this would be a good place to stay. Staff are accommodating and friendly. If you book the suite with a "kitchenette", be advised that you will need to provide your own dish detergent and dishes (although you can get some from the breakfast area). There's also a washer and dryer in the suite - but bring your own laundry detergent! An easy walk to everywhere, and right across from the supermarket, which is a good thing, considering that there are no restaurants in town!

Excellent hotel accommodations, friendly staff, and good breakfast. Moosonee is small and the hotel is very central to the train, Northern Store and Ferry Dock if you are traveling to Moose Factory. While not inexpensive, it provides good accommodation.
