It's a budget property meaning that facilities are basic. A bed with clean sheets and a bathroom with clean towels. Everything worked as it should and was in a state of good repair.

Bathroom was dirty. Brown gunk under the door. They use strong chemicals to make it seem cleaner than it is. Probably won't stay there again.

This hotel/motel is run down, and has definitely seen better days. The owner or manager (I'm not sure which) was very polite, but the moment you walk into the lobby it has a very strong smell. Nothing has been updated in a long time, so things are getting quite shabby. Upon arriving at our room, the door was open and the tv was on. We weren't sure if someone else had the room, but were told it was ours. Some things were clean, but others were obviously not (carpet not vacuumed, hairs on bathroom floor, mould in the grout around the bathtub, etc). I went to the front desk to ask something around 11:00pm but it was all locked up for the night and no one was there. The photos show a "restaurant", but there is no restaurant at this hotel. We stayed here after going to a play in Stratford. Another time I would just drive further to find a better place to stay, probably for the same price.

It just seemed really run-down and not taken care of. It was okay, but not worth the money that we spent.

Very Basic

Handy to Stratford Festival and economic. But a very basic, plain motor inn. Front appearance odd with fountain in a parking lot. Staff friendly.
