Liked: Amenities
Staff was very courteous. It was an easy check in. The room was satisfactory. The bathroom is outdated - very rusty heat rad - no safety bars for the bathtub. The fridge was not clean - the freezer was so bad you could not open it and something had been spilled in the fridge making it very sticky. I did a quick wipe before using it but needs a real good cleaning. Double beds were more like 3/4 beds. Comfortable and clean. It served the purpose as a place to sleep during our stay.

If you needed a bed for the night, this place will do. The unit needs an update. The lamp on the night table needs power. The coffee maker in the room did not work. On the good side, the tv got alot of channels. The bed was comfortable. 3km to Tim Horton's.

It was off season when we stayed at the motel. In my opinion it was average, but it served its purpose. The couple running the front were pleasant to deal with, I only interacted with the female as she spoke English and I’m assuming it was her husband, spoke in different language. Not rude in any way though. Overall experience was average, there was a ring of dirt around the inside of the bathtub that could use a scrubbing but for the evening spent there it was quiet around the motel, lovely town to explore. If need be I would use this motel again. Beds were comfy enough that I slept through the night, sheets were clean, and besides the dirty tub the bathroom was decent. Most likely it was a busy season and they’re catching up on deep cleaning now. Hope this helps. 😊

Quiet place to stay. The room was clean but regular cleaning is not offered. I requested a cleaning on the 2nd day of my stay. It was done in an expedited and poor manner. There are no public transportation at all in the area. Beware of this if you are going to rely on public transportation: buses, cabs, rideshare services like Uber or other. The staff was broadly nice. There are a couple of eateries in the town at walking distance. The room was big with AC/ fan. The room rate was too expensive for the quality provided.

rates were affordable for crew, bathrooms need badly redone, chipped, rusty, awful caulking, rusty heater, no plug for coffee machine, had to use hallway plug, bbq area is gross, moldy overfull garbage can, cigarette butts everywhere, bbq is totally rotten, gutters on facility need to be cleaned out, trees are growing in them, bedsheets and shower curtain had blood on them. hopefully they just took this motel over and try to start repairing and upgrading soon. too bad, location was nice, convenient, quiet. Almost too much for all....and they advertised breakfast, where there is none.

This motel is showing its age.. We needed a place for only 1 night. The wifi was free but you have to sit outside the office. They allowed dogs so that is a plus. There are deer running through the yard and we were delighted to see them. The A/C worked - also a plus. The bathroom had no plugs but I stuck 2 poop bags in the holes and they made great plugs. Check in was not until 3 p.m. and after a long drive to get there we had to drive around for 2 hrs. It allowed me to go to Frenchy's and they also allowed dogs as it was a very hot day. I used my Expedia point for a discount and paid around 100.$ cdn. We will stay there again because it was clean and the price was right. My dog loved it there .

No longer our favorite stay….

I have been coming to Shelburne for over 30 yrs now, staying at Wildwood,Mackenzies or even the Cape Cod that is gone now, it has been a while since our last visit bc of covid, but I honestly didn’t think there would be anything to worry about, since Wildwood has always been a pleasant stay, clean rooms and nice little breakfast place in the mornings before we go off visiting. This visit we were shocked at the change, the rooms are digusting, I walked around the room with wipes on my feet to clean the floor, the towels are stained, when we asked for more since the room only had 2 and there were 4 of us, we were given more towels with stains. We were there for 3 nights, our room was never cleaned, or checked on even. The room that used to be where u could sit and have breakfast seems to be made into a storage or sleeping area for staff, the staff that seems to just hang out in the bbq area or around their sports cars in the parking lot. Sadly our tradition ends with this visit, we will now find another place to stay for our next visit from Ontario. The only positive I can say is the front desk staff was polite and friendly. It’s so sad to see what’s happened to the little family business in Shelburne

In order to check in, you have to call the front desk, of which I called ahead several times with no answer. There isn't anyone there all the time. On a positive note, the beds were super comfy!!! The microwave & fridge were very clean. Little fridge was great to refreeze our icepacks! The floors have been redone in laminate, but I'm not convinced they actually cleaned them before our check-in. The front windows in room didn't open but the back ones did open. The bathroom door had marks all over it, the rusty heater in the bathroom needed painting, one light missing in the bathroom mirror, and no bath towels (you'd have to call to get those apparently). We chose not to bother them and shower later. The TV remote needed new batteries, and it happened the hotel clerk was checking someone else in at the time, so we got the batteries (not the end of the world, but we're all spoiled and want to be able to change the channel while lying in bed LOL) However, even after the new batteries, the channels wouldn't change and we had to manually change the channels on the TV. Breakfast was to be included. The clerk at the desk was saying something about the fires in Shelburne, so they aren't serving it now. He had such a thick accent I couldn't make out what he was trying to tell me so I just left if alone. Covid hit a lot of businesses. However, this property needs some TLC & Attention to really meet the mark. Would I return? Maybe.

The lady at the front desk was very nice and the outside of the motel was in good repair. Inside our room we found the shower curtain was not washed and had many stains on it. The tub was not clean and had dark rings of dirt from previous users. Which was a shame because I was really looking forward to have a bath and definitely did not as it was visible dirty and had black mild in the corners. The beds were clean & comfortably. The furniture was updated and the tv worked fine.
