Some repairs begin but not painted. Basic accommodations but clean and good value for the money. The best parts were the lovely check in lady and the view and sound of the river.

Room was clean, needs a little updating and some screws need tightening. Staff was great in accommodating our needs. Love that it was pet friendly. Close to restaurants and situated in a lovely setting overlooking the lake and brook. Relatively quiet. I would stay here again.

Total dump. Expedia shouldn't have this motel on their website if they want any kind of reputation. Paid for 2 nights stayed one place was too dirty to stay 2nd night. Other rooms smelled like bug spray and had exposed wiring. Our room was dirty, had long hair on towels, stained sheets, a loose toilet that literally wasn't fastened to floor, stains on the curtains and a super bright exterior light to keep you up all night. Paid 150 per night wasn't worth 50.

the room was small and the upstairs shower drained in my tub - totally inacceptable and disguisting. There was noise till 3:10 am making it impossible to sleep and i did NOT feel safe at all. It was a horrible experience.

The room was relatively clean but very old and dingy. The tub and shower area had mold around the top of it but the hot water was plentiful. The beds were not terribly comfortable. There was no screen on the window. There was absolutely nowhere to get any food as all the restaurants are closed and even Tim Hortons was under renovation. The most positive thing would be the beautiful falls and water at the back of the property.

Nothing to like about this Motel. Stay away at all costs!!! Firstly, I was told the that the room I booked, the Deluxe, King, Lakeview, with Fireplace was "unavailable". I was offered a very poorly kept double queen room that we could not even consider staying in. They provided a different double queen room which was only very marginally better. I was not offered the difference in price. The staff advised to follow up with Expedia. When I went to bring this issue to Expedia, they did not offer any compensation either. The very small room had very uneven floors, carpet was disgusting, wires, ac adapters, cables dangling/hanging all under the TV which was wall mounted up high. Only one chair and the tiniest desk (un-usable), and the chair was broken (like someone put their steel toed boot through it) Paneling was coming off walls. The bathtub and surround was all cracked and discolored from smoke. The list of issues is too long to continue. They charged $182 for this atrocious room when I booked it on Expedia!!!!! The staff were unavailable in the morning of checkout, so I could not bring a further discussion of my concerns to ask for a refund for the difference. As stated, Expedia has not been any help either and I will likely not deal with them any more. Overall, a truly disappointing experience and proves to me, yet again, that customer services is irrelevant and non-existent in these times. Very sad indeed.
