About this property

Welcome to Parkway Motel

Located just off Trans-Canada Highway 17 in a wooded area near the eastern edge of Wawa, Parkway Motel offers modest, unfussy accommodation suited to travelers seeking practical overnight stays. The property is approximately 3 km from the scenic Magpie River and about 5 km from Wawa Municipal Airport, making it convenient for road trip stopovers and those passing through the region.

The motel provides simple yet comfortable rooms featuring thoughtful touches appreciated by guests, such as real glassware, microfiber sheets, and amenities like a fridge with a freezer, microwave, and coffee maker. While there is no air conditioning or on-site dining options, visitors benefit from free Wi-Fi, complimentary parking, and a welcoming BBQ area set in a grassy space for relaxation. Feedback highlights the clean, cozy environment and attentive, friendly ownership that adds a personal touch to the experience.

Parkway Motel’s rustic, no-frills style aligns well with visitors looking for a quiet, clean place to rest in the Wawa area. It is not a resort-style destination; rather, it suits those who prioritize comfort and convenience without extra services such as breakfast or fitness facilities. Nearby natural attractions include Magpie High Falls and Old Woman Bay, both popular for their scenic value.

Although the property lacks accessibility features and pets are not accommodated, it offers free airport pick-up service for traveler ease. While some guests note the absence of on-site refreshments means dining in town or self-catering is necessary, the overall positive reviews emphasize the motel’s reliability as a practical base for exploring the surrounding outdoor attractions or as a brief respite during longer journeys.

Right on the main highway on the eastern edge of Wawa. Comfy and quaint and very clean. Decor has a true northern theme with carved wooden headboards and blankets with that "red flannel" look. Beds were very comfortable with microfiber sheets! So soft. Room has real glass glasses for your beverages as well as wine glasses and a corkscrew. Towels were a good size and plenty for 2 people. Room has fridge with freezer, microwave and coffee maker. Desk with lamp, tv and a ceiling fan. No a/c but I doubt it would be needed much anyway. We would definitely come here again. Owner is very friendly and welcoming.

Extremely clean, spacious and inviting rooms. The owner is friendly and very helpful. So many little personal touches in our room. First time I’ve stayed here but my husband has stayed here twice before and he told me I would really like this place. He was right! ( don’t tell him I said that !!!!). We will definitely stay here again.

Super clean. Very comfortable. Great showers. Bring your own food or be prepared to drive into town. No snacks, no breakfast, not even sure if there were machines. Everything else was great.

Warm, helpful and friendly owners. Clean, cozy and comfortable rooms. Real glasses instead of the stuff that ends up in landfills.

Third or fourth time staying here. Rooms are immaculate every time and the owners are amazing. This time we trailered our bike down and they are letting us leave our truck and trailer here while we carry on with our bike trip. Truly great hosts.

We were on our way to Sault Ste. Marie when heavy snow made it impossible to continue our journey safely. Thankfully, we found the Parkway Motel, and it turned out to be a blessing in disguise. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted warmly by the lady at the front desk. She was not only professional but genuinely kind and empathetic, understanding the challenges we were facing due to the weather. She made the check-in process smooth and even offered helpful advice about the local area. Her hospitality truly stood out and immediately made us feel at ease. The room was spotless, cozy, and equipped with everything we needed for a comfortable overnight stay. Despite being a last-minute booking, the accommodations exceeded our expectations. The bed was incredibly comfortable, and the heating worked perfectly, which was much appreciated given the frigid weather outside. The Motel’s location was convenient, and we were impressed by how well-maintained the property was. We also appreciated the thoughtful touches like the complimentary coffee and parking. What could have been a stressful night turned into a pleasant and restful experience thanks to the Parkway Motel and their incredible staff. If you’re traveling through the area, I highly recommend staying here. We’re grateful for the warm welcome and excellent service we received during an otherwise challenging situation. Thank you, Parkway Motel!

Located a few minutes outside of Wawa.Its on a busy highway but it is surprisingly quiet. There is a lovely grassy area with a gazebo and barbecue and some chairs if you just want to sit and relax.
