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.

Easy access to the room. Dated but clean. Quiet. Helpful staff.
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.
Towels had holes in them. Tv didn't work. Lots of dust in the room.

Liked: Cleanliness, room comfort
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
The police parked in the front entrance was the first sign that it was a mistake.

It was a fine stay for a motel... But thete was very little for the price.
Most motels have at least a kettle and more than one roll of toilet paper. It was a little dissapointing I wouldn't even make a cup of tea or coffee.
King bed was nice, but the pillows were hard and flat. So waking up feeling rested didn't happen.
However, we were here for a festival, so we just needed somewhere to wash up and sleep.
Price was decent, so I'd use this place again. Just bring my own pillows, towels and amenities (kettle/coffee maker).

Clearly this property is a shelter over flow which does not bother me however it would have been nice to be informed ahead of time. The room was clean but there was not enough towels for the amount of beds.
