We stayed in Grand Forks and the 1 hour commute was somewhat tolerable in the morning going to work, but after an 8-10 hour work day the commute back was brutal. On the next trip up I decided to see where else I could stay. Google maps showed the Red Roost Motel in the small town of Pembina. I called the number and spoke to Lyndi. She was so nice. She told me they were the owner operators and live on the property out front of the Motel rooms. She told me they had recently completed many updates to the Motel. I decided to stay there because I didn't want to have to deal with the 1 hr commute to Grand Forks. She told me more about the little community of Pembina. There is a real nice recently renovated bar and grill called the Bridgestone that are separated by a connecting wall and the Grill area has a covered outdoor seating area that looks out into a wooded park. There is a small grocery store caddy corner from the Red Roost that has pretty much anything you would want. Across the street there is Trails End a small but well stocked hardware store. They also rent and can deliver a scissor lift if needed. I stayed a few days at the Red Roost and I enjoyed it very much. The room was fresh and the bathroom was recently retiled and nicely appointed. The towels and linens fresh and comfortable. They have a mini fridge and microwave and an Internet TV you can watch your own shows on if you like. I also recently made another trip up to Pembina for an update the our border crossing equipment. I stayed at the Red Roost again and Lyndi was excited to show me they now had a mini apartment on the property. It has a well appointed kitchen and a good sized Full bed and two Twin beds. The beds are new and comfortable. I love this little community of Pembina. Everyone I have met her is soo nice. I'll be staying here anytime I'm working in the area. Give them a try, you will be happy you did.

The only thing exceptional about this place is the road noise!! Paper thin walls on the street side. Parking is very very tight.... But I digress. Walking in to check in there were two young ladies and a flock of young men scurrying about outside and the ladies tried to check me in. I won't post what my vibes were as I have no solid proof. But needless to say.... Strike one. The room is quaint and clean. The bathroom is a disaster!! The shower head sprays over half the bathroom not being attached properly to the pipe. The toilet is old and sits very low on the ground. The only light is useless in working with the mirror. Sink is slammed in the corner and difficult to use. And it gets better..... When I went to make my mini coffee pot of coffee there was a USED FILTER in the coffee maker and a ceramic cup of coffee half full sitting next to it! I washed it all and at least made myself one cup of coffee using my own cup. Nasty. Unfortunately it's really a one star motel but I'm giving it 2 as the room, as much as it's small, is decent. Though the bed needs replacing in a bad way too.... Rough night..... I'd never return.

However, the staff and management took a dislike to us from the moment we booked and were nothing but rude and curt during several interactions. I understand that being a large group we were not exactly low maintenance, but hotel staff should not grumble and get mad at you for requests. When I called a few days after our stay to get a reprint of the final bill for the group, I was refused and hung up on. I suppose this is the best hotel you're going to get for the area, but still, Brittany and the entire management team need a lesson in customer service and general politeness.

My son (age 46) and I (age 75) visited Aikens Lake Wilderness Lodge for the second time this past…read moreweek. This is my 33rd fishing trip to Manitoba and 18th lodge visited. We were the first group in for this season. Other than being very cold and rainy it was a great trip. Nothing has changed since our first visit in 2019. In my opinion this is the best overall lodge in Manitoba. There are so many different ways that this lodge is superior to others but let me try and highlight a few. Let's start with the booking process. Pit, the owner and General Manager, appears to sit at his computer 24 hours a day. When you contact him, you get an almost immediate response. His communication is clear and to the point. When you book you get a provisional slot hold until you make your deposit. You can send in a check or use a credit card. Once you book his wife, Julie, takes over and contacts you about any special requests you may have. If you have any special dietary requests, booze orders or the like she makes sure it happens. Next are the lodge facilities. The cabins are immaculate and appear brand new. Ours had two bedrooms each with a mini split heater and AC and a living room with a fireplace. There was also a screened in porch. A short walk to the main lodge itself which houses the dining room and "Big Mollys Bar". The bar is unusual in that it includes a happy hour before dinner where the drinks are free. At most lodges I have fished the groups tend to keep to themselves. One impact of the happy hour is that most groups become very friendly. Secret spots and lures are shared freely and you make new friends. We have already made contact we people we met at the lodge and are making plans to met again next year. On to the food. Most lodges have a fixed breakfast. At Aikens you can order whatever you want for breakfast. I had asked Julie to have some hot peppers for my omelet and they sure were hot! The shore lunches were also unique. The lodge has prepared several sites throughout the lake with picnic benches, metal roofing to protect from the rain, propane cook tops and chopped wood for the open firs. This not only keeps you dry and comfortable but dramatically reduced the food preparation and cooking time. The lunches themselves are not just the old fried fish but included different variety of batters and baked fish. Dinner at the lodge was also special every night. Julie cooked for us a few nights and she is the best chef in Canada. One night we had a pork chop that must have been 2 inched thick but was still moist and tender. Steak night riveled any steak house in Winnipeg, The staff were also exceptional. Pit, Julie and Patrick are all co-owners and unlike many other lodges are on site. This ensures that if any issues arise, they are dealt with quickly and properly, They have hired a great group of young ladies to work the dining room and cabins. They are friendly and hard working. The guides are also good. They tend to hire young men in college who work there for4 to 6 years so you always have an experienced guide who knows the lake in your group. The newer ones receive formal training from Pit and Pat and also learn from the more experienced guides. The fishing is also good. The boats are newer 18-foot Lunds powered by 60HP Yamaha motors. They have very comfortable cushioned chairs, depth finders, live wells and trolling motors. Most lodges have. 16-foot boats and 20 or 30HP engines, benches and no electronics You can really cover a lot of ground quickly with these 60 HP motors! It was very cold (low 40's) and rainy during our trip which impacted the fishing. However we still managed to catch several pike on the low 40s and had an afternoon during which we caught walleye over 22 inches for 3 hours straight. I made the "century club" by catching 4 walleyes totaling over 100 inches in the same day. We can't wait to return next year!
