Friendly service. Good prices. Nice coffee shop next door. I stayed a few nights in a motel down the street and it was terrible compared to this one. I will definitely be back next time I'm working in Canada

We are an older couple Willys inn motel is what you call a slum motel. We saw hookers roaming around in skimpy outfits high heels men going in and out looked like they were on drugs or drunk the woman next to us was loud all night "sexually" it was very disturbing for us to sleep. What's more disturbing the owner respected them more than our needs like needed towels that weren't in the room found a dirty needle in the night stand the room stunk the carpets weren't vacuumed up I could go on,on how horrible the place was. You will regret going there! Your better off paying the extra $40 for the holiday inn.

My husband has stayed here several times. They first time i called and they gave me his room number no problems.. the room he had was dirty. Not cleaned professionally at all.. tub very dirty bathroom disgusting. I offered to clean for them but they think their cleaners do a good job. But i wiped w ton of stuff off he tub and surround.. yuck! The second time the room i though was better but he told me he found a needle lid under the bed.. which should have been vacuumed up. Dust and dirt and the picture on the wall need to be washed it had spray marks on it. If you accidently forget something they say you never left it. Somebody stole my nice soft blanket. And finally the last time. I called and they wont even tell me which room he is in. Any hotel will connect you with a room if you say a name ..they day one second and connect you..you never have to wait for the person to call you. The owners wife was very rude and i will never give them business again..ever

My Wife and I spend a short week end get-a-way in Sarnia visiting Family,shopping,and touring the city (fries under the Bluewater Bridge). I found owners friendly and helpful. Bed was comfortable and linens smelled clean and fresh. Cleaning lady was friendly and accommodating when asked for extra linens. I always referred to this area as The Golden mile and it is close to shopping, eating, etc. ( Timmies is a stone throw away). The internet was fast and easy to connect. The Motel is equipped with Video surveillance so it gives a feeling of safety. I have a Holiday coming up in August and my wife and I are planning on a return visit. Although there is a coffee shop practically next door it would have been perfect if we could have had a coffee/tea machine in our room.

We needed a place to sleep our last night before getting home. Unfortunately, Faulds Motel was already full. We found this place and were immediately sorry that we did. Smelly cigarette smoke in a "non-smoking" room. Dirty chipped bathtub. No security lock on the door. Bedding was OK. Woke up early and did not bathe there. The owner needs to tear down this place and build another motel.

I really liked the internet. It was good in terms access and fast enough for my research job. Very stable with 3 Mbps consistency. That is really excellent level. I could not get the same speed even in expensive franchise hotels. The owner knows exactly what guests need. Others microwave and mini fridge was working fine. All others, not matters to me as far as smell free room. Price is really, really reasonable.

Firstly i would like to start out in saying that my family gathered for a reunion and were looking for a place to stay and we came across this place, not only where the rooms big enough to fit us all ,it was surprisingly clean, well taken care of, i did find it very roomy and felt like i was in my own home, the staff was more than helpful with my questions on what to do in Sarnia, many of my relatives (who flew in from other provinces) were surprised on how well this place was kept, nice and clean, will defiantly stay there again!
