We stayed here in summer of 2026. The staff/ front desk were very helpful. The room was preped as expected and as mentioned. Only suggestion is you should have milk powder or milk in your coffee area instead of at the front desk. Good property outside city hustle but not too far from prime eateries ans Saguna beach.

We enjoyed our stay at Shenstone. It was cute and clean and had everything we needed. The air conditioner worked great and we couldn’t hear any noise from other guests. The staff was super helpful and check in was smooth, and we were even given an upgrade. We had food delivered with no cutlery and staff helped out and found us some disposable forks, which saved us. We highly recommend this motel for an affordable stay while in the area.

The cleanliness in the room was not very good, but was better than the bathroom which was managed and cleaned badly and if we talk about staff, it was poorly managed..not as hospitable as should be. Overall, I didn’t stay in the room for much, but I believe it wasn’t worth the money.

I don't know how this place is on expedia to be honest. This room was disgusting. They put in a hung up air freshener (dollar store?) that was the worst smell we have ever encountered. It was so bad we could smell on our clothes after we left for hours. So unhealthy. The Ad says resaurant, there is no restaurant. It's minimally cleaned bed sheets like cardboard. Would not recommend this place at all. They want the money but don't care for the property. Pleasant people but filthy. They have pest control repeller in outlet for all to see. Perhaps if they cleaned they wouldn't have rodents. Beware!

The hotel link said there was a playground for kids. This playground is at a park down the road, and not at the motel. There were only 2 pillows on each bed and there were 4 of us. The sink vanity was incredibly short. The bed was comfortable enough, and my kids enjoyed the experience. All in all, it was ok

We had an amazing experience staying at Shenstone Motor Inn. The staff recommended several places to visit, and thanks to their suggestions, we had some of the best experiences during our trip to Tobermory.

The room was clean, spacious, and comfortable. Although it’s a small property, the people at the front desk have the biggest hearts and truly make every guest feel special. Their hospitality deserves 11 out of 10 stars!

The owner even offered us a bonfire, which made our evening even more enjoyable and memorable. That thoughtful gesture really showed how much they care about their guests.

I would definitely recommend Shenstone Motor Inn to anyone visiting Tobermory. If you want to enjoy not only the beautiful area but also warm and genuine hospitality, this is the perfect place to stay.

The staff were great, but the motel cleanliness was subpar, when we arrived the hotel smelled so strong of cleaning solution, stung your nose kind of strong. There were some dead bugs around the room. The sheets didn't seemed like maybe they werent changed as there was some hair in the sheets. The room also didn't feel very secure, only a door knob lock and there was a door leading to a back hall way that was not allowed to accessed by us but it did lead outside. The wifi was really spotty and I thought there was free breakfast included which could have been my mistake but there was no breakfast. The staff were really nice and friendly but the place needs some work to make it more inviting.

Wifi was virtually non existent. We paid our deposit in cash as we do not use credit cards and they do not accept debit for depisit (what?!) and then was informed we could not check out early or we wouldn't be able to get our deposit back as no staff are on before 1030-11am?!

We arrived at the motel around 3:30PM (check-in was at 4PM) and immediately had doubts when we saw the ripped screen on the door. At first glance, the room didn’t look too bad, but then we noticed flies everywhere.

I went back to the front desk to explain that we were not happy with the room. Instead of offering a proper solution, the staff offered us bug spray and said, “you know we’re in the country.” We told her we’d rather not stay there, but she said they couldn’t adjust the reservation since it was made through Expedia and told us to call them directly.

When we contacted Expedia, they reached out to the motel, who then denied the refund request.

Would never stay here again and absolutely do not recommend this place.

The property was much older than it looked in the advertisement. The check in service was okay. The room looked much older as well and everything in general was worn out. Everything had a lingering smell from whatever has happened in that building before, the bedsheets, the pillows, blankets everything smelled and were not properly clean. Even the tap water smelled, we’re guessing the system of tubes is too old. All of our problem was that it was not as advertised. We knew full well we booked something modest but were expecting clean and comfy. The place was anything but that. The area also felt very unsafe. It was right on the street with random people stopping by and making noise, because the motel had a restaurant as well. We didn’t dare to try the restaurant. Overall, not a pleasant stay at this place. Would not recommend!

Absolutely one of the worst stays I’ve ever had. I know it’s a motel, so I wasn’t expecting luxury, but for over $330 CAD a night, this was beyond disappointing. The moment I walked into the room, I was hit with an overpowering spice smell that made it hard to breathe. The bathroom was the worst part— the bathtub was so dirty I didn’t even dare to shower, which has never happened to me in any hotel before. On top of that, there was no ventilation in the bathroom, and the sink smelled like sewage coming back up from the drain. For this price, the very least you could do is keep the place clean. Disgusting experience, and I will definitely never return.

I went to this hotel in 2019 when it was under different ownership and included breakfast. I mistakenly thought they would still have breakfast but they didn’t. However that was not my main complaint, I booked on Hotels.com and the rate for 3 people in a room vs 4 people in a room was the same amount so when I mentioned that a 4th person my aunt had decided to come they advised me to give them $20 cash. The sheets were a Christmas theme but the room was very clean. There should be a second lock on the 2 doors in the room such as a chain lock to make customers feel a bit safer.

I don't usually leave reviews but I'm doing this for constructive purposes and not out of malice because I think this is probably a family run business and I really respect that effort. Though the place appears clean on a quick look, the attention to detail isn't there. There were dead flies in the window sill. A dead fly in the coffee cup, not to mention flies in the room that kept getting in somehow despite me killing at least 10. There were hairs in the otherwise apparently clean beds (big long black hair in both beds under the sheets). There was hair on the towel. There were stains/substances on the mirror and tv screen that should have been wiped off. I can tell that they're trying but the standards need to be raised way up especially when there are so many other places they're competing with in the area. We stayed for one night before a backpacking trip but would not stay again due to the cleanliness. The lady at the front desk was very friendly when we checked in but the office was locked with a sign saying they'd be back at 11am on the Monday morning when we left. I wanted to give the feedback in person as online reviews can seem impersonal was unable to. It's a very old motel that needs a bunch of money injected to bring it up to standards and could have potential. The water in sink/shower had a smell to it which might be a local thing but if you want to run a business in Ontario you've got to have high standards on everything, especially at todays prices.

Experienced a massive WiFi outage at the property for the entire first 24 hours of our stay. Might not have been an issue if it had not been for the fact that the cell coverage in the area is horrendous at best. Knowing this to be the case, I chose this place because of the free WiFi so I could keep tabs on my diabetic family member. The staff were sympathetic, offering the use of the office phone to call if needed, but the fact that there are no room phones and I could not even monitor the app to tell me if I needed to call the family kind of made that a moot point.
Overall, the rooms are fairly up to date, with the exception of the bathrooms. The bedding has some staining issues from excessive use (darkened pillows, off-white whites etc). The motel is just outside of Wiarton, and the highway is super dark. There is (what seemed to be) a single light bulb illuminating the sign, so we missed it once while returning after sunset.
While we were not dissatisfied, I am not sure we would return or recommend the place to friends or family.

The room was not clean at all, dirt and grime built up in the washroom, debris on the floor. If at a quick glance I seen this much filth I cannot imagine what the bed and other areas were like so I left. I asked them for a refund but they refused.
