Good stay in Calabogie at the Motor Inn. Check-in was easy and the staff was friendly. The room was a good size and had some good basics for short or longer-term stay. Some of the finishings show their age but everything worked and the room was comfortable overall. The A/C worked well despite the very hot and humid weather. Quick walk to the lake and a couple of restaurants (check out Oh-El-La Café and On The Rocks!). Easy to find, easy to park. Would consider staying here again if I'm in the area.

The staff was courteous and attentive he stayed later for check in. Which we appreciated!

The facility itself was underwhelming considering the price we paid. The room was tidy but left a lot to be desired in terms of dusting in the corners, the finishing on the tub, -everything just dated!

The a/c kept the room clean the fridge was in excellent working condition and the bed was small but comfortable! Parking was safe and secure!

Overall a fair rating for us is 2&1/2 stars for this motor-in

Toilet and shower were heavily stained and not sure if sanitary. Bedding was worn and had some stains. One bath towel was thread bare.

Mattress was comfortable. Room needs a deep clean, fresh bedding and towels to bring it up to a respectable level. A bit of a funky odor that needs to be rectified. Could easily be a good room with some care and a bit of money spent but will not get repeat customers or recommendations as is.

Motel not easy to identify from the highway. Next to a power sports shop and recessed from the road. No breakfast offered and the availability of restaurants is limited especially Monday and Tuesday when several are closed. Had to travel by vehicle in order to find a place. The motel is fairly new but basic. Not worth the money paid

I liked that it is a small property with nice clean rooms.
It could use some better roadside signage and the fee tacked on by Expedia seemed excessive.

Calabogie peaks resort was 5 minutes down the road. Stores, food places and trails close proximity. My dad and I were in Calabogie for the annual snowmobile races and got lucky with the last room available. Spacious, cute environment, clean, and the man running the place and front desk was so kind. Definitely will be our spot to stay every year moving forward, can’t beat the price.

This small motel seems to be well run. Nothing fancy but it had a good bed, clean linens, and minor extras like a microwave and kettle. Not sure how soundproof the walls are but we had quiet neighbours! The heating unit was a bit noisy but didn't interfere with sleep at all.

This is a clean motel with very friendly staff, easy check in and out and within walking distance of the Calabogie Brewery and Redneck Bistro - both excellent. The beds we slept in are a little tired and the property is next to a dry land marine on the highway, so it’s not a destination hotel but is good value.

Everything was in order with an easy check in and the room was as expected. It would have been nice to have had the heating on for a while before arrival as it took some time for the room to get warm. Also, there was a property wide problem with the satellite so TV couldn't be accessed (would have used at night) which we discovered and reported to the front desk. Staff was very responsive and tried to get it working and then called for a service technician. Unfortunately that would be until the next day after we had checked out. WIFI was slow but adequate allowing us to use our own personnel devices

Not a 9. Needs to work on basics

We reserved this hotel due to 9/10 ratings on Hotels.com. Not expecting turn down service or plush bathrobe, but a clean well run motel.
What we found was a bathroom that smelled mildewy. When we ran the bathroom fan to ventilate, it sucked the air from the adjoining room, and we could smell their smoke under the door. I question fire safety in this case.
The walls were thin and our next door neighbours talked loudly until the late hours and kept us up. We even heard them have sex!
In the morning there was hot water for the shower for only 2 minutes then it turned cold. My husband phoned the office to tell them and they were not interested. Told him I turned the handle the wrong way. That was impossible with this shower. It goes from off to cold to hot all in one direction. I had to finish my shower with cold water. Then on checkout the office tried to shut me down by telling me everyone had hot water (except me??)
Also only instant coffee available. But water had a sulfurous odor and precipitated large white flakes of calcium in the kettle. Instant coffee curdled in the cup.
In summary this hotel did not meet basic needs for a good nights sleep and personal hygiene.

Great little getaway

Very clean and comfortable room. Very nice and accommodating staff. The room was equipped with a small fridge/freezer and kettle for tea. Very quiet and cute. Renovated bathroom with comfortable beds. The only issue was the a/c smelled a bit musty but we didn't need it and were happy to leave the window open. We would definitely stay again

The location was right and our room was clean.
It would have been the perfect motel experience if we had paid motel prices but it cost as much as a hotel without the extra comfort and amenities.
