Buddy 0 Report post Posted August 8, 2022 Hey there. I'll be moving to TB next week to study at Lakehead, and have yet to arrange for housing. My thinking is to sort of get into town, rent a motel room for a week or two and scope up the renting situation. Any pointers? Places to avoid? Any deals you know about? For housing, is it all Kijiji now? Being from up north QC I've almost only fished brook trout, so I'm looking forward to catch some walleyes, and just enjoying the outdoors!

Snowball 75 Report post Posted August 8, 2022 Why not get a hold of the University. They may have a list of places that are available. Regards, Snowball Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Buddy 0 Report post Posted August 8, 2022 Thanks Snowball. They do have some listings on their very vintage looking website but not much guidance when it comes to hotel/motels. And tbh a lot of leasing options I've seen so far seem to be full-on gouge mode! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dirty Sanchenz 58 Report post Posted August 9, 2022 Lots of scum bag motels/ hotels in this city, be careful, read reviews if there are any and dont go to the ones that accept cash lol. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Buddy 0 Report post Posted August 10, 2022 Ahah, let's name name! I was thinking Red Rock Inn on the first night if it's not crazy expensive, then like, the Telstar (or Stanley or Pineview) in Kakabeka Falls for a week or so. So all in all bit out of the city because I assume that it's cheaper / I can get a rate? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dirty Sanchenz 58 Report post Posted October 16, 2022 You want a knife fighting, gun shooting, place to buy drugs motel or a sleeping quiet motel? We have both. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fishog 215 Report post Posted October 16, 2022 The Stanley is just a bar with good food. They don't rent rooms. The Kakabeka Hotel has been shut down for over two years now and no plans to ever start back up. The Telstar is usually booked up solid. The Pineview might have kitchenette rooms but not cheap from what I heard. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
