“Howard Johnson Ridgetown”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 May 2012

We stayed at this hotel for two nights since there were no B&Bs available. Our group would not stay at this place again.The beds were comfortable but they need to improve their housekeeping. Not only were the carpets badly soiled,but there was dirt and dust on the carpets. One would not want to walk on the carpets with their bare feet. Beds were not made after the first night and nothing was done to the room except emptying the garbage.
Breakfast was to be provided but there was not coffee or hot water for tea and the milk was just sitting on the counter.It was not being kept cool.There was no one keeping an eye on things.Very unappealing to eat there.

Thank you for your review. We value the opinions of our guest and take them very seriously. We are new management at this location as of January 25th, 2012. There have been teams running since mid March for 7 days a week to renovate this property, houskeeping and general maintenance. As there has been a history off development and construction in the area and on Hwy 401, we have a high volume of contractors staying at our facility over the years. Although the carpet is not very old, we are aware of a few rooms that have tar stains at the entrance of the outside door. Arrangements to have all carpets changed is already in the works but only 2-4 rooms per week are changed as volume at our location restricts from moving any quicker. Every single room is cleaned based on a checklist that each housekeeping staff must adhere to. The second level of this goes with an inspection from room to room by our assistant manager who thoroughly checks against this list and any other maintenance requirements. Both the senior housekeeper and assistant manager sign off on each room before it is available to the next guest.

I have made a note for your stay over in which case your room was not tended to and have included new requirements on housekeeping to mandate a courtesy call to all our extended stay customers on a daily basis to ensure no rooms are missed especially during busy periods. In this case what might have happened is due to the high volume per day for the past month, housekeeping has been focusing on preparing each room and leaving extended stay rooms for last. We will reverse this order or coordinate an appropriate time to first reach our extended stay customers during housekeeping hours.

When our hotel rooms are nearly full, the breakfast area can get messy and my apologies for someone not tending to the breakfast area as needed. I have made the appropriate notes and action will be taken to improve our guest experience accordingly.

“Howard Johnson, Ridgetown.”

.Stayed one night on business, found room and service to be excellent. Plenty of ample parking allowing for easy access to the room. Would definately recommend it for all business travellers through the area.

“Ok place to stay...”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 February 2012

I stayed at this property when my daughter had to write an entrance exam for the Ridgetown Campus of the University of Guelph. The hotel is getting old and worn. It's in need of a good renovation. But the beds were comfortable and everything in the room worked. It was very inexpensive so we got what we paid for. The new manager was very polite and accommodating. The staff was pleasant and I could see they were working hard. Nobody was standing around. The breakfast was poor, not much of anything. We went to Tim Hortons. If you need an inexpensive place to sleep and don't need much in the way of amenities, this property will work.
