The room is quite plain but clean and comfortable. The staff member at the motel was very helpful and stayed late in order to accommodate our late arrival. The.biggest problem was finding restaurants in the area. It’s necessary to drive to Blind River, Massey or Espanola t find a restaurant.

It is under New Management and they are just starting off and are a work in progress. The owner was very kind and hospitable. It was quiet and we had a good night's sleep. Our reservations we're not available and the host upgraded our stay which was very accommodating.

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
Air conditioner unit sounded like a jet engine taking off, turned on and off all night making it very difficult to sleep. Bath tub had a nice dark ring around the silicone caulking. Additional fee for having a pet in a pet friendly room (maybe in the fine print but found out after I booked), and the clerk asked me to pay it in cash. Also, there was an adjoining door at the back of the room that we were unaware of at check in. Just not the vibe we were looking for at that time of night. Not my best experience at all, especially for the price.

I showed up got my room and the hot tub had no cold water going through it I mentioned it to the front desk host he got me a new room and rectified it immediately it was a little cold because it was a room not ready for me but he rectified that immediately by giving me a heater and anything I needed throughout my stay which was pretty well a week long he was more than gracious to help me with anything I needed his name is Kuldeep such a nice polite and helpful young man just keep in mind Spanish is a one horse town and I think horse died a while ago everything closes by 9:00 and as I say everything is the corner store and the restaurant down the road but if you do want a killer Burger check out the restaurant down the road it's called North Channel pizza and grill try their burger a company it with some cheddar cheese balls you will not be disappointed but all in all Spanish River Inn will accommodate you for what it is and as I said Kuldeep is the name of the young man that runs it and he will go above and beyond to make sure your stay is accommodating for that I give it a full five stars for what it is

I was looking for a quick and convenient spot to spend the night while traveling. It had a clean bed, super easy parking and the staff was really nice. The bed while firmer than I would like, was possibly the most comfy I had on my trip. My understanding from other reviews is that this place is under new management and they are working on it. My room had some spiders living on the door. When the door first opened a few of them went into the room and settled in around the door. While I appreciate that spiders are a natural form of pest control, I didn't quite appreciate having them as roommates for the evening. The larger web on the outside door I had to duck under a bit to get in/out of the room. There was a huge spider on it, I've got a bit of a fear of spiders so there was no way I was going to be touching it. I was okay-ish with the spiders so as long as they kept to their side of the room. Some of them did, some I couldn't account for their location in the morning. There were some stains on the floor and the room smelled of WD30 which I assume was from some repairs that had been done. There was a second locked door leading to what I am assuming is a hall for staff. Having no key or deadbolt to block that door, I did end up moving a chair to block the door for added security. There wasn't a deadbolt on the main door which had been removed. Putting back deadbolts would add to the feeling of safety, especially for solo guests.
