“COMPLETE DUMP”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 November 2010
3
people found this review helpful

Having traveled to many countries (including third-world conditions) this motel was by far the most uninhabitable place I have ever seen. I was completely worried for my families health staying here. FIrst, the linens/towels were not clean and upon further investigation we found mouse feces on the nightstand, bathroom and closet.

Management was completely unhelpful in relocating us to another facility and admitted that the room was unsanitary. Refused to supply a refund as the room was booked through Expedia. Expedia refused to issue a refund as it the motel is an independent contractor. After hours of dealing with the drama of the 401 management he supplied a partial refund and we promptly left the dump of a motel.

Only wished I had read the prior review first.....

“Million dollar view & piece of mind”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 June 2010

person found this review helpful

After a long flight me and my wife checked into this motel. We were having second thoughts but the place turned out to be quiet decent. Room was recently rennovated and the service was good. We requested extra pillows and towels and the reception fulfiled the request promptly. We got a room with excellent view and the experience was refreshing.
Loved the doughnut's in the morning.
Will be back in the winter

“Mouse Poop In Room”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 17 February 2010

This was the most sub-par hotel known to man. It was disgusting and horribly unpleasant. There were several mouse droppings in our room, dirty towels, mouse traps under the beds, and just overall a repulsive atmosphere.

“A big mistake!”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 October 2008

This was our first night in Canada and we had every intention of returning to this motel at the end of our holiday for 4 nights but our experience caused us not to. This motel is adjacent to 8 lanes of traffic and very close to cross roads which have another 32 lanes - not surprising heavy commercial traffic made it very noisy throughout the night Sleep was almost impossible. Room had a very well used appearance. Beds were ok and had clean linen but it had not been ironed. Bathroom was clean but it had two red basin taps that turned in either direction. One scalding the other warm. Turning them off was a nightmare. TV control given to us in reception was covered in adhesive tape - it did not work neither did the heating. Swimming pool was empty with blue pvc dumped in it as if under refurbishment. Complimentary breakfast of a coffee and doughnut. Room cost CAD$90 for seniors and CAD$102 for adult

“great location and price”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 February 2008

people found this review helpful

This hotel is very handy to the PNE and Playland, though not walking distance.

The rooms are nice but the pool is small and cold. It is in the center courtyard surrounded by the rooms.

This part of town is not bad, however, you must lock your cars and keep valuables with you.

The night we stayed, the power went out ( due to a traffic accident)and we baked in our rooms. The sliding doors are alarmed at night and we were afraid to open them for fear of setting off the alarm once the power came back on.

Its family oriented and kids seemed to like the chilly pool anyway.

For the money and a short 1 to 2 days its fine

  • Liked — the price
  • Disliked — the small cold outdoor pool
