Cheap rate, for a reason.

Much of the property was old and run-down which gave it a generally dirty feel. It looks like maybe they were in the process of updating it, but I'm not sure if they were done or still going. There are no views from the site, that we could see, so don't think you'll see the river from your room. Our room was "upgraded" on arrival to what they call a "suite" on the 4th floor, and there are no elevators. The entire 4th floor, including our room, stank of decades of greasy cooking. There were dead flies in the room and the cheap thin flooring was cracked and pulling up. The AC unit in our room did not work properly - it thought the room was 93F, so it ran constantly no matter the setting. The only options were to turn it off and wake up soaked in sweat or leave it on and freeze. The included breakfast was decent, and parts of that area had been renovated. The pool area was run-down, but the pool itself looked reasonably clean, and the sauna was functional. The hotel staff were polite. So why did I give it 2 stars and not 1? The main reason is price. I have no idea how this got a 7.6 rating on this site, but if you know what you're getting into and price is your driving factor, then you may be satisfied here.

The Inn is located on the main street along the water. The room is sufficiently big, and has all things you need to stay (microwave, stove, sink, and a large fridge). It seems clean enough, our door was in need of repair. The breakfast was basic continental breakfast. Service was nice.

This property is very run down, noisy and expensive. $20 to park at a motor inn? There are much better options for the price. The room was dirty with mismatched furniture and a bed that when you sat on the end of it, completely lifted off the frame at the headboard. My family was woken at 2:30am by what only can be described as a wrestling match in the room above us. Management seemed to not care much about the noise disturbance when we let them know.

I passed the most disgusting night of my life in this room. The only good thing about this HOTEL! Is the kind stuff. Bathroom was really dirty, hire every corner was saying hello to me! Bathtub, bed, bath sink … The guy before me peed while he was standing and the yellow mark on the toilet was there when I get to the room!!! There were no any shampoo , soap just the toilet paper! Bath drain was really disgusting! Water mark with lots of hire around it! The garbage can in the kitchen was not emptied! Bed was tidy up but the long hair was on the blanket! Just the breakfast was acceptable by the price. There is a sign In the pool area says take hot water shower before entering the pool but the shower has just cold water. Do not recommend it at all. Your mind will change by staying just a night in this hotel,If you believe the clips of street food are fake. I am not talking about the breakfast but the hotel! OH you know what? I have diarrhea just 2 hours after checking out… stoped 5 times while I was driving from Niagara Falls to Newmarket!😐 Oh nooo what did I eat?!?!

This is an old, ugly and smelly place- needs to be demolished. There is also significant noise, showing poor noise insulation.
