There was no remote for TV nice tv but no remote to run tv. No phone in room. The shade in window was up 1 foot from bottom of window and blinds where open. The rod that open close the blinds laying on the floor and broke. There was dirt on the floor and the metal strip going in to the bathroom had fasteners sticking up and cut bottom of my foot from it.

The room was comfortable/tastefully decorated. Their website stated that breakfast was provided. In checking in, I was told that they are no longer providing breakfast. The ice machine is not working but if you ask, a bag of ice will be provided.
The cleanliness could be improved. I wiped a spill off from the bathroom floor and the tissue was black. There were also black areas on the edges of the shower curtain as if a mechanic with greasy hands had handled it. I wiped off a spot of dried blood from the wall where the toilet paper was hanging. The property could certainly use some TLC. I'm thankful to have been able to stay there seeing that everything in Ladysmith was booked up.

Wow. Where do i start. Upon arrival walking outside two little kids open the door to the motel room they are staying in and their
Dad \"i think\" comes out screaming. Get the F in here now. Im going to punch you in the Fing face. He was saying to these little kids. It appears like they live here. Anyway. We find out we have to walk through room 15 from out side to get to the inside halway to get to our room #18. So we finally get into our room to find it absolutely gross and dirty. Floor was discusting. The walls were full of very visable huge cob webs. Nasty dirty toilet and shower. TV doesnt work. No heat. Blinds are broken so you can see in. The manager brought us a blanket and tacks to hang over the window. Absolutely terrible. The worst motel we have ever stayed at. Go sleep in a Walmart bathroom. It would be an upgrade over this place.

Had stayed here a couple times before and never really had issues besides the key working for the outside entrance. However I recently stayed here and while I was at dinner, a backpack went missing from my room. I notifed the front desk and they did nothing about it. I suspect it was one of the transients living on site. Avoid this place at all costs.

Property was very nice for short stay but very dated. Locks on outside were not functional and the coffee pot had not been cleaned upon arrival.
No bed skirts or fancy linens but the bed was comfortable. Not a great value for the amount spent vs.others in the area with more amenities.

I called at 7pm to say we would be late, no problem motel said. We got there and NO ONE there, no answer to the 2 numbers posted. Smelled awful! Sign said \"closed for season. Monthly rentals only\" Not sure why Expedia even has this on their site. AWFUL. I believe it had a 4 star rating. If I could give this motel a negative rating I would.

There were no curtains or window drapes so it was too bright to sleep during the day. There was no hand soap or body soap. There was what seemed like a homeless or meth-head outside our room that wouldn’t leave. We didn’t feel safe so we left to sleep elsewhere.

Don't suggest this hotel

Our first night our luggage was taken by a police officer because they double booked our room and somebody else was staying in there by the time that we came back from family outing so then at 12:00 at night we had to go to the police station to recover our property and the food that we left in the fridge was no longer there.

The room smelled of vomit, poorly disguised by a rather aged air freshner.
There was no breakfast.
The front desk was always unattended.
The mattress was covered with an industrial-grade plastic cover, perhaps related to the vomit issue.
The computer was down when I tried to check in, necessitating a delay of hours.
And there was no Internet, for the same reason.

We stayed 4 nights and the gal at the front desk was VERY helpful and knowledgeable. It's an old motel and needs updating but you can tell they are trying to improve. The beds and pillows were great. The towels definitely need an update but did the trick. The only complaint we had was with Expedia. I called in to book the four nights and they only reserved 3 nights.... not that big of a deal. The gal at the front desk quickly help fix that which was nice. However when I talked Expedia when booking it I asked what their breakfast consisted of and he listed a great breakfast...eggs, two kind of meat, biscuits and gravy, cereal, toast and muffins, bagels, juice and milks etc. I said oh wow ok that's great I just wanted to make sure if we needed to plan to go get breakfast. He said oh no no no no definitely not!!!! On the board when we got there it said \"grab and go\" so I asked and told her what we were told. She said no they do not have a license to be able to have food. She did say she was going to get a hold of Expedia and tell them to stop telling people that. They did have a cooler was ice cold waters for the guests which was nice. Like my husband said that lady deserves a raise cause she did a GREAT job!!! We would stay there again because of the nice front desk gal but if we would have know there was no breakfast at all we would have paid a bit more elsewhere where it included the breakfast. Our visit ended up costing quite a bit more do to going for breakfast every day.

The staff person was great! Very friendly. The main room was clean but had an \"old smell\" to it. Room was neat and the bed was comfortable. Nice big TV. There were only blinds on the main window. I went outside at night and noticed you could see into the room a little bit. It would have been nice to have a large curtain to cover the window. In the morning, when I opened up the shower curtain, the bathtub and walls had not been cleaned. There were three long hairs on the shower wall and a used dried out washcloth hanging on the shower rail. The rest of the bathroom seemed clean. I went to check out at 8:30 AM to let them know but the office door was locked. Overall: It was not terrible. Good price! Owner/Staff just need to pay attention to the details. I hope the best for the owners/staff. I just needed to be honest in my review.

This motel was convenient for getting to the events we attended. The rug was NOT clean. It was very difficult for me to step up at the outside door, needed husband to help. The air conditioner was quite loud. We had stayed in this motel in the late 90s and remembered a better facility. We will not stay here again. I think this motel is better for hunters and fishermen.

Nasty.

Checked in late at night after telling them we were going to be late. The person checking us in didn’t speak English, they tried to charge me more when I got there.
Then on night 2 we found a cockroach.
There were those little black fly looking things in the room as well.
Took the sheet off the bed to have them change the bedding due to me spilling and they just made the bed with no sheet. Manger said she’s going to refund me but didn’t even apologize.

One of the best motels in which I have stayed!!!

I stayed here for a business trip. I originally booked 1 night to check it out, even thought I was going to be in the area for 5 nights. I was absolutely impressed with the rooms and gentleman running the place. The rooms were remodeled, extremely clean, and just overall very comfortable. The bed sheets and towels were clean - unlike most motels in which these items are usually stained, worn, and nasty. I ended up extending my stay an additional 4 nights. Overall, very impressed with this motel - without a doubt, one of the nicest in which I have stayed!
