We just needed a place to sleep and we’re gone early in morning. Beds comfortable. But bathroom could be cleaner. Need new towels (that aren’t white)

The reason for this stay was location. It was walking distance from a Beer Festival so my daughter and I had a safe walk there and back. If I was with my wife she probably wouldn’t have wanted to stay. Very sketchy building but it served its purpose. $140.00 is a joke but luckily I can afford it.

Gentleman at checkin was nice. Room was spacious, i had a microwave, fridge and even a kitchen type sink. Bed was ok, not soft like fancy hotels but I wasn't expecting that for the price I paid :) I was comfortable for the night. Parking was right outside my door. Drop box for keys for easy checkout.

This is the second time comming to this Motel. The young lady that is at the front counter is very polite and professional. I had a concern on the arrival of my stay and she acted in a professional mannor.
Love how they accept cash deposit.
One or two night stay prob at best.
Good place for last min option stay or reaerve ahead of time.
I come back just for the night..

Its clean but vary dated nothing matches in the room. Gold lamp with floral comforter. Grey paint with green drapes. Mattress was probably older then me. Quiet i paid 150 on new years good enough for a sleep when you had a few.

We stayed for two nights during Christmas as a hub when visiting Elora and St Jacob. We had The room at the corner. The room was clean and rather spacious, and I liked there is an additional sink and faucet outside the bathroom which is convenient and time saving when multiple people are staying. Microwave and fridge is there too. The front desk is very friendly and helpful - we reported the kitchenette faudet wasn't working and she came to attend right away and arranged to have it fixed the other day. The washroom has been renovated and is clean though somewhat cramped. Beware there is no hairdryer. Also the room was left as is and not serviced (bed not made and towels not replaced) on the subsequent day of the stay, which I think should have been done too for multiple day stay. Location is convenient as it is right beside a Walmart plaza, at the expense of safety perhaps. Overall it is a basic, clean and spacious room without bells and whistles, excel what is paid for.

There were threadbare linens and frayed towels. Old bedspreads but it was clean.The lady at check-in was nice and she was also the house keeper. The room did not feel safe as the only lock was a button on the door knob.

Didn’t provide anything extra like fan, iron and we were charged for extra 15 min stay
Shower wasn’t working, no exhaust in room and smells bad plus didn’t find staff friendly at all
