Nice room, enough space..There is a refrigerator, a microwave and a table..There is also a wardrobe and two comfortable beds..There are hooks on the wall where you can hang your outerwear
Since there are two beds (two people), one more chair needs to be added..It would be a good idea to replace the bedspreads that someone burned with cigarettes, and then everything will be fine
Stayed for one night and probably wouldn't stay again. The owners were very nice and helpful. The problem was we had a trailer with a dirtbike and boat. The people at the end of the motel were constantly walking up close to the trailer and we noticed a guy smoking probably crack through a pipe. Then started having a conversation with himself and getting up walking towards the trailer again. Didn’t know they were on septic and note above toilet says no toilet paper allowed down. So where would you like us to put that lol.. Supplying septic paper probably would have been a better option then regular toilet paper. Other than that it was clean and for a stopover its alright.
Very convenient for Peterborough and environs. It is an older. building and therefore shows as an older building. Good hot water system, quite clean for an older building. Staff very efficient and friendly
Beds were not the most comfortable. When walking barefoot on the floors one's feet got gery dirty. You were not allowed to flush toilet paper down toilet as they are on septic. On the positive side, the bathroom was clean, room was quiet ,tv and selection of programs was good and the a/c unit was very efficient and quiet.
The bed makes noise and it’s needs to be change I don’t no other rooms but room 108 the bed needs to be changed
Old school motel that was clean and comfortable and you used a real key to get into your room!
Nothing
Not clean, needs major updating, front door doesn’t close correctly. Didn’t stay the second reserved night.
I
would like to see a lamp on the nightstands as the main lights are too bright to relax and watch television
we booked online showed them our verification number .. they didnt honour it and up charged us. the room had a poorly fixed patch in ceilng that was breaking apart. girlfriend went to have bath water was brown and clumps/floaties came out.. cant adjust heat , mold all arond baseboard in bathroom .. in the 2 days it actually effected my girlfriends breathing, hard to communicate with owners
I needed a roof over my head and a hot shower. It provided that.
Pretty sure it's a front for trafficking.
owner was great person
Fast friendly check in clean room property a little dated
Needed a 3 night stay close to the racetrack (Peterborough speedway). Location was ideal, surroundings are quiet and the room was clean and comfy. Everything you require in a room was there, (coffee, mini fridge, microwave. Room was clean
Smelly with uncomfortable beds
Noisy
The TV did not work, the beds were very creaky, the highway was very noisy.
Poor lawn maintenance and if you asked for anything they made it seem like you were putting them out.
It was just on our way
It was dirty and poor water pressure could not flush toilet proper . Windows need attention washing them once in a while instead of closing curtains would get better clientele
Clean fast check in friendly staff
It is a very fair price. Everything was great . Everything worked and was clean
Nice place. Awful thin walls though.
Location
Poor water pressure and the tub was extremely slippery
Nice budget place to spend some time exploring Peterborough
Checking in - there is small print about extra charges - review before booking as we were surprised with an extra $25. Room had clearly had a smoker in before and they tried to cover the smell with strong air freshners. AC did not work but they offered another room or a fan. For one night, it was manageable but the property is tired, many fixtures are falling off the walls. Wish I had stayed with my original choice - only took this as it said AC in all rooms! The owners need to walk around the property and start fixing things before its too late.
Really dirty, smelled like smoke, wasn't sure if the room was cleaned
Nothing at all. Absolutely terrible
It smelled as soon as we went into reception and greeted by a lady with no shoes. It was dirty the bedding had holes in it and stains. The ceiling looked like it was hanging down with damp and mold it was disgusting honestly horrible. I can go on and on. Do not stay at this place I don’t know how this is on booking.com.
Room was dirty.
The motel is in need of proper maintenance as all of the furnishings in the room are outdated and most are in need of a fresh coat of paint. The washroom door was so narrow l almost didn't fit through it. There was NO HOT WATER available. The lighting beside the beds was mounted high enough on the wall between them that in order to turn them off for sleeping you had to get out of bed. The remote for the tv was held together with cellotape (ie to hold the batteries in). The next door unit was partying all night long and only by using my cellphone earbuds did l get any sleep. I do not recommend staying here under any circumstances, the whole place should be bulldozed flat. Oh yeah...lawn maintenance went on until late in the evening so it was almost impossible to hear the tv. Unbelievably horrible stay.
Convenient location 2 staff/managers we dealt with in the office were pleasant.
Location was loud due to highway noise. Cigarette burns in the bedspread. Plastic shower stall floor did not appear clean. Fabric pieces pinned up over the bathroom window and the window in the entry door. Overall room condition - things in disrepair, unfinished details in the bathroom, wall damage, shoddy install of window air conditioning unit
Nothing
No phone, no wake-up call, no radio, no cream/milk or sugar for the machine, bed was horrible and bedding did not fit the bed. Bathroom was far too small and sink and shower where useless. No table lamp. No extra bedding or pillows, etc.
Staff very friendly and helpful, Too many confusing rules, Bed was uncomfortable, Bathroom small, Tap water had odor.
The rooms are o k no tubs shower only
In reception guys very helpful really good experience. Clean and peaceful place
In reception guys very helpful really good experience. Clean and peaceful place
Was close to the location needed
This little motel has been so neglected it’s scary,holes in the ceiling, not even batteries in tv remotes to the large blood stain on the bathroom curtains It was so dirty and they couldn’t even change our room and probably the amount of unsavoury permanent tenants in this motel ,posting pics
Property was very basic, but was expected with the price.
Cigarette smell in first room, unbearable room "freshener" smell in next. No telephone. Very primitive furniture, with barely tolerable bed.
The owners are very nice and will remember you
Cozy and accessible from the room to vehicle
Blood on sheets No hot water Super bright signs and no curtain on door window
staff very nice. place was clean but dated. location good.
issues with TV.
It’s a quiet place , comfortable place for us and we loved our stay there, the staffs were nice us throughout out stay there and were ready to be of help anytime .
There were no food made available since we couldn’t cook we were also doing groceries although a friend was helpful in that regard and it was fun
The Manager was very accommodating.
No breakfast that i was aware of.
The office stunk of some sort of curry or something. 1 bed was very hard and one was ok. And old miss matched furniture. Had a very hard time trying to figure out the 2 remotes for 1 t.v. door of the room was missing weather strip and can see light through. Bathroom has missing bulbs in light above sink and vent fan cover held on with duct tape and the didnt even work. Motel is ok if you REALLY need a place. I dont think ill stay there again.
Clean and comfortable, just outside the city but nothing within walking distance. Good value if all you need is a good night's sleep.
They have no breakfast lol
Cops came out of nowhere
It was calm
No breakfast for their guests in the morning
The best thing I can say about the property is that it was available. You can tell that it has been cleaned/bleached
-Being Park Side, generally requires being beside a park, which it is not -The location is just outside of town on a busy highway which is worrisome with little kids -Seems to attract a rougher clientele. Our neighbours were having a screaming fight between 11pm and 4am - The rooms seem to have to beds, one sleepanble and one board hard
n/a
The location on the edge of town would make for an early start next day on the journey.
The building is in great disrepair. Several units appear to be long term rentals with various amounts of bags and boots stored outside along the front of building units. It all looks trashy. The room offered was even in worse condition and should be condemned! The health department should be called to inspect. Then they charge rates equal to higher quality establishments.The entire unit was disgusting. Booking.com should never again include this business in their offerings.
Convince
The bed bugs!!
Room was clean and comfortable. Staff were friendly and welcoming. Motel is pet friendly and there was some damage in the bathroom from a previous guest that is awaiting repair. Stall type shower so if you are a larger peraon, keep that in mind when booking. Overall a lovely stay, though. Reasonable price and convenient location. Thanks for s great stsy!
Staff very friendly, clean room, I actually slept in
I liked the location and that there was a fridge and microwave in the room.
I did not like the coffee maker as it was too small. I did not like the TV set up. There was no cable, all you could do was stream channels and I did not know how to do that. Half of the stuff we tried to watch wouldn't work. It took a long time to figure out how to watch something.
3rd class. no grab bars in bathroom for myself who is handicapped. Staff was pleasant. ok for people who are not expecting much. Could not flush toilet paper. Would not recommend.
nice and quiet love to be there again
Pretty good overall. Staff are nice.
No coffee there was coffee machine. Included shampoo/soap was basic could upgrade.
large room
the room was beside a laundry/utility room that the owner was still using at 11:30 pm so was rudely awakened a couple times and the bed squeaked badly and where not comfortable at all so suffered from lack of sleep through out our stay. was left a half roll of toilet paper for a 2 night stay for 2 people and the t.v was so high up was left with a kink in my neck although it had pretty good t.v programming and it didn’t feel like a safe environment was left feeling on edge while there.
Staff were great, location great, room was a disaster Beds are crap (I did not sleep) Door did not lock
Everything about the bare bones basic room
I spent one night there on the road between Québec city and Toronto. The place was clean, budget wise, close from highway, gas station and restaurants. There is nothing fancy or excellent there, but AC and the fridge were working very well, there was hot water, bed sheets and towels were clean and the beds were comfortable. It is true that the place needs some love and repair here and there. But to sleep after a day on the road, that is really fair.
Stayed there a week and after the first night I couldn't get up out of the bed my back hurt so bad. The bed was so hard I don't know how anybody gets away with selli g a mattress that firm in my life.
honestly I went to this motel with my sister and it a horrible experience. the floor was soaking wet, there was no fitted sheet on the bed, the microwave was disgustingly dirty, the ac was literally falling out, the bathroom was dirty and so was the fridge. There was no service in the motel and the wifi was as good as non existent, the whole room was rundown we were supposed to spend four hours there but had to leave after the first twenty minutes because it was that bad. not worth the price don't bother going there.
We went to this motel for an overnight trip and it was pretty good. It was pretty cold in there in the middle of the winter as there was no thermostat or heater but other than that it was good. A bit noisy as well but I would go again for a cheap overnight trip.
I'm very surprised at the negative reviews. Last night everything was clean - the bed, sheets, the bedroom itself and the bathroom. Some sockets didn't work but there were enough that did for it not to matter.
