This place was disgusting. There were 2 of us. We had 1 washcloth to share. They cater to Hydro Ontario workers so when they use the washcloths and towels there is grease etc. on them. The white cloths were disgusting. The people who owned the place were not friendly. They don't make the bed and clean the room unless they are asked. When I asked for fresh towels on my way out they wanted me to take them back to the room. I told them that was not my job. I really don't know what we paid for. The phone didn't work properly so I couldn't get a wakeup call. Unfortunately I wanted to speak to someone at Expedia to ask them if they check these places out but the number didn't work. The pictures of the place looked good but it sure was a dump. I would not use Expedia again if I returned to that area. I was offered a beautiful room by another motel for $5.00 more a night but beings they had my money there wasn't anything we could do.

We’d never stay here again. Internet is poor, picture of motel on website is not current, as it’s gone down considerably in appearance, and the basic necessities in the room were missing. However, the hostess was very obliging in providing what should have been there. It’s very shabby.

This property was a disappointment and is misrepresented on Expedia. The property is in very poor condition. The rooms are quite sparse, the towels are threadbare and the bathtub needed a proper cleaning. Three of the four bulbs in the light over the bathroom sink were missing and the toilet plug was broken. Should not be included on Expedia site !

Staff was nice and helpful. Hotel itself was like something out of the 1950's that got lost in the update years. Good luck if you wanted to watch TV through the vertical green lines. Bed not as comfortable as was reported in previous reviews. Definitely not worth the money.

Made the reservation online and when I arrived I was already second guessing myself but had already paid for it. Splashes on the walls, doors had been broken into with a prybar, faceclothes stained. I don't know if there were any other tenants in the place as there was only one other vehicle present. I stayed only a few hours to catch my breath and moved along. I took a video of the terrible condition. It is possible that the place is newly opened for the season, but if you can drive further or stay somewhere else, I would recommend it.

Okay, time for a positive, fair but constructively critical review. I stayed at many motels on my recent journey from Toronto to Victoria and all of them were 5 stars except for this one. The gentleman who checked me in was very professional, friendly, helpful, and polite. There was a problem with the key imprinter so he unlocked my room and I was able to get in. The bed had some crumbs or debris on top of and under the covers. I even found a curly black hair in the sheets. No big deal, the sheets smelled clean. At 1am a noisy bike pulled in right in front of my window and the rider proceeded to choke/cough to death while loudly talking on his cell phone. The windows were older so I could hear the conversation about horsepower and dangerous stunts and races. Then, bless him, a friend joined him and they each had a smoke and a 15-20 minute loud conversation about more of the same stuff and features of their bikes. I love bikes and I ride but this wasn't the time, right in front of my window. I felt like someone should ask these guys to quiet down and head to their rooms - management was nowhere to be found and I didn't feel like heading out there in my underpants and getting my butt kicked so I weathered the storm. Bottom line, the place needs some updates and I know that takes money. It might need to sharpen some cleaning techniques and definitely needs to keep an ear out for loud guests at 1am.
