I had to call to get a plug for the tub in my room! And there was blood on my pillow case and sheet.

Response from Brenda on 21 Sept 2023
You arrived at 3 AM, and you were told that you have to have a valid credit card as per hotel policy, which you informed us that you did not know and you cant go anywhere else. We waived our hotel policy and gave you the room. Then you wanted an extra day, because you checked in late, and you wanted to stay on, which we had to deny. At 3-30 AM in the middle of the night you wanted a plug for the tub, although you later saw that the plug was already installed in the tub. It is false that there was blood on the pillow when you checked in, because the room was inspected twice and was clean. We noticed blood on the pillow, sheets and bathroom after you left, and therefore had to discard all the bedding, comforter, and all the 6 towels at our cost, because we cannot wash them and put our next guest in any kind of health hazard. The room you used will remain closed for three days, so that it is completely sanitized.

The beds clearly need to be changed, I felt like I was sleeping on a trempoline, not to mention the backache the next morning. We should also think about removing the carpets in the rooms, which are full of mites. I had allergies all night long.

I am sorry you did not have a good stay. We have a policy which is noted at the front desk, that if any guest is not 100% satisfied within the half hour after check in, they will get a full refund immediately and the reservation is cancelled. This is to keep us and you happy, you do not have to wait till check out to write a bad review and can leave immediately, and our other guests do not get a negative feedback. I guess you did not take that option and stayed on. We would like to mention, that the room you were in has both the mattress and the carpet only four months old, and are sanitized after each check out. That is why we have a no pet, no smoking policy.

Simple, but very clean and comfortable. A short walk to several restaurants was great and the breakfast vouchers to Tim Hortons was a great idea. Overall, very pleased with the room at a very reasonable price.

Staff was friendly and helpful. Hotel is a bit dated and the toilet needed to be held down the whole flush, but it was a comfortable, clean room, within walking distance of a variety of places to eat, and the price was right. An ideal place short stop on a long trip.

Priced at right end of market but more than much newer, branded properties on this trip. 3PM check in is flexible at most hotels if room clean & ready. Sign at door stating desk was not staffed until 3PM -- early arrival not possible. Comfortable beds. TV should have unavailable channels deleted (no big deal). Bedside lamp on left as you face the wall missing plastic turning knob. Right lamp knob available to unscrew & use. Adequate for putting your head down for the night.

While it is clear by the pictures and attending the MOTEL that some updates have been made trying to improve the property, painting a wall and adding a new headboard doesn't improve the overall experience. The soap dish in the bathroom was dirty, the air conditioner didn't really work and the mattress felt like a piece of foam.

Listing on Expedia says Pet friendly. The whole property forbids any pets. Advertised as a Queen and recieved a double bed. Rule of the property are not listed on Expedia. However include no smoking on ANY hotel property. Bringing outside liquor into your hotel room is not allowed. Using hotel hallways past 10:00 p.m. is not allowed until 9am. In their rules it states if you stay more than one night if you'd like any cleaning or towels you must request it. When I requested a fresh set of towels, I was asked why housekeeping didn't ask me if I needed towels. I then received two unfolded bath towels with a generous attitude. Property is not taking care of, grass is overgrown. Employees park in front of the front entrance blocking the driveway. Front desk is never open even during hours they advertise. Impossible to call and have somebody answer the phone.

I am sorry that you had such remarks for our property. Needless to say, you will not like to come back, and we will certainly not welcome you as our guest in future. However, for all my other valued guests I must narrate the facts which are as follows. We do not have any double beds in the property, but have all queens, so your claim that you got a double bed is false. Our esteemed guests appreciate a smoke free environment, so we do not allow smoking, and therefore you were not allowed to smoke in the room. Employees do not park in front of the lobby. The courtesy shuttle van for our valued guests to pick them from the local railway station or to take them to events in the city, is parked in the corner, and the driveway is never ever blocked. Desk phone is answered 24/7.

Checkin was a challenge. The staff had to try several room keys before finally reprogramming then actual door lock. They could not get the outside door working. Floors and bathroom were dirty. Beds terrible. Expedia should not promote this hotel.

I am sorry for your comment. Mechanical widgets do fail!!! We fixed it in three minutes flat!! I regret that the few minutes it took us to re-program the lock, got you irritated. We check the room for cleanliness twice every day after house-keeping is done, and we endeavor to keep our rooms spotless.

The power bar is for your convenience. Nowadays, with micro in each room, coffee maker, fridge, of course TV and high speed internet portals and in addition guests personal stuff to plug-in we need extra outlet and the power bar is there to facilitate our guests. I am sorry if you did not like the power bar. All the fridges are new, and are only plugged in by our guest if they need them.

We showed up around 1 just to see if we could check in early if our room was ready, no one at the front desk just some little kid who ignored us. Rang the bell still no one showed up! We left and came back at 2:45 and there was a lady there but told us the guy that did check on wouldn’t be there until 3, so we waited in the lobby, then a few minutes before 3 she told us that she could just check us in. So she made us wait there for no really reason! Then the room really wasn’t that clean. After we went out later and came back out card to the room wouldn’t work, went to the front desk this time a guy was there told him the card didn’t work he gave us a new one, but never asked my name or to see my ID or anything!

The room was large enough, but was not very clean. Dusty lamp shades, tv remotes were filthy!! The back parking lot where we were locared had garbage strewn about and there were broken bottles in the grass by the fence where I was walking my dogs. Someone had obviously tried to kick in the outside door as the jamb was cracked badly. It feels like the hotel is slowly being neglected.

The outside doors are metal and sort of unbreakable! the fence electric so anyone who try to jump over it - can get the shock of its life time... guess we did not charge the fee for the two large dogs that may be bothering the guest,or may be free upgrade of the room from one queen bed to two queens ,again free of cost has created negative feeling. Sorry about that- we will definitely charge the fee for the dogs, and not upgrade the room- next time .
