The Good
Recent guest reviews read for this report showed favourable responses to several areas of this motel's service.
more Staff were often appreciated for their pleasant and accommodating service. Guests said they had a good attitude and the new management of this motel was trying to offer good value and very clean rooms.
They were also reported as updating the hotel with newer furnishings and a fresh coat of paint. One guest said the room he was in smelled fresh with wood flooring, a nice looking washroom and a decent sized LCD TV.
Many liked the location for being right on Highway 43 and having good access to Hwy 416, on the way from Montreal to Ottawa.
Several guests were quite pleased with the very low room prices and felt the hotel provided good value, along with a free basic continental breakfast, free parking and free Wi-Fi.
The Bad
The hotel is in an older building and offers basic rooms. Some weak areas were pointed out by guests who stayed recently.
more Some guests said that the hotel was dated (although clean). Tap water at first runs brown if it has not been running for a while, although it clears after a few seconds. (Some were therefore brushing their teeth with bottled water.)
Some guests felt the breakfast was too minimal.
A few guests reported difficulties with Wi-Fi in the rooms, although they found it worked better nearer to the router in the lobby.
