About Mo & John

John was born and raised in the Toronto area, and I was born and raised in Sault Ste Marie, Ontario.  

We met in 1981, at the Convention Inn Hotel, (now the Delta Edmonton South) in Edmonton, Alberta.

Top of the Inn is under the letters

I worked in the Diningroom, The Top of the Inn, for 20 years.  John was there for 16 years, eventually becoming the Executive Chef of the Hotel. 

Now I'm the Maid, and he is the "Executive Bedmaker". We've come a long way!  Hah!.

 We loved the Hospitality Industry! I was honored with the American Express Award & Alberta Gold Key Award for "Excellence in Hospitality" Whoooooo!

John won awards too - but we don't have a restaurant, so they don't count. lol

 
John was a great Chef but did not fit the Stereotype.  He didn't throw temper tantrums and hated to be on TV.  Go figure!

Edmonton 1984  We enjoyed the Oiler's Dynasty in the 80's!  Look - I even got a Gretzky doll for Christmas!

Vegas - 1985  We would drive from Edmonton to Vegas in 24 hours, Gamble for the weekend and drive back! Ahhh, to be young and foolish again!

Speaking of foolish........ 

I love this pic - Too funny.  We were in the money!

Our biggest gamble ever was buying this place in October 30, 1999.  We didn't know anything about running a Motel.  Things were not running smoothly,  we had broken pipes and no customers, (It was November - there are NO customers) and poor John would lie in bed thinking.....  "I think we made a big mistake." 

Here we are in front of the old sign, 2000

10 years later, and a few more broken pipes, eeeeek!.............  The 2 of us are Rockin this place!  B&B burn out rate for couples is 5 years, but we keep going strong and love it more than ever!

"Throw yourself into some work you believe in with all your heart, live for it, die for it, and you will find happiness that you had thought could never be yours." Dale Carnegie (1888-1955)

Even though we are challenged in Northern Ontario,
shamelessly Taxed at 2 to 3 Times the rates of businesses in Southern Ontario
(& presumably all of Canada).........

John and I refuse to cut back!
  We will continue to give you Great rooms filled with humour & TONS of "Extras", a Fabulous Free Breakfast, Fantastic Satellite TV with HBO & all the Premium Channels, Free Internet & Free Calls, for the BEST Rate we can!

Because you deserve it!

Lets face it.......  We are ALL tired of being LOOTED. 

And the secret to our success is that we, unlike the Government, don't treat people like our own Personal ATM Machines! Hah!
