The staff here were so friendly and so extremely helpful.
We had a problem with our TV and they were very quick to get a us room with a working tv and were extremely apoplectic. Robyn at the front desk gave a lovely recommendation of a spot to see the sunset.
Overall a very pleasant stay at stop 21 motel

A disappointing experience! A very low level motel, yet room was clean and the bed was comfortable. The first night was fine. The second night was uncomfortable as it sounded like people were moving furniture upon arriving at 10 pm. Then at 4:30 am more noise, and they left. At 6:00 am they were back and more noise. It is obvious that the motel is a also a “type of rooming house”
Buyer beware!

A low price to just lay down and sleep.


A place to sleep at a low price. Room was a bit small but clean. No breakfast but that was ok by us as Tim Hortons was right around the corner. Reception desk was friendly
took care of us promptly. Room had free wifi, tv, small fridge.

The room was very clean and the bed was quite comfortable. The shower also had a hand-held shower head and great water pressure. Thanks for a great stay and hope to see you again!

The bed was very comfortable . The motel is very old and has not been updated much , although the brightly painted walls were interesting . The plumbing needs to be upgraded as the sign said not even toilet paper was to be flushed !!!
The only lighting in the bed area was a very bright ceiling fixture . Not very inviting to relax and read a book .
The lighting also in the yard and the “Stop 21” sign is very dim - I drove right by on my return in the dark .
The building out by the road is very dilapidated , with junk around the building that needs to be cleaned up .
The big window in my unit was sealed shut with heavy plastic ( I presume to keep heat , and cold weather out ). Bathroom window appeared to be screwed shut . Both these things would be safety violations.
I had a great sleep, did not use shower so cannot comment on that .
This is a very old ( 8 units ) motel , and Robyn and Jay are obviously trying to improve the place , but it needs a lot more !!!!

Very friendly staff. Room very basic but functional with small fridge, kettle and TV. Thin sheets and pillows but have control over heat/ cooling. Mattress extremely firm! Shower towels too small to wrap yourself in. Overall if mattresses in other rooms are less firm then I would stay again for a night or two but not longer.

Overall, the Motel is clean. The renovation isn’t modern. Since the four rooms in the back are facing the forest, there are a lot of mosquitoes and spiders. To add on, there is a very strong smell in the room. It smells really bad and makes you uncomfortable. Overall it’s okay leaning more towards the non recommended side. However, service is great. They help you with a smile and are very welcoming!

Booking was made in March 2020, for August 15, 16, 2020.
Upon arrival they had forgotten about the booking and no room was available.
They tried everything they could to find other accommodations and were very friendly and apologetic.

I got married in Southampton and booked two rooms for two of my vendors, the first one checked in ok but the room was very dirty and none of the lights worked in the room, there was also no one around to get the issues resolved. The second woman tried to check in but no one was available to check her in the room, after ringing the bell multiple times and waiting more than 20 minutes, she left. Tried again later that day and same issue. The manager was rude and would only refund a partial amount of what was paid. Definitely would not recommend this place and will never be back.

Just can’t be leave

Booked early in the week. I called the afternoon the day of and told them I was going to be late. They said no problem and to call when got there. That all went well, they did take my ID but left me outside well getting my key. Did not need to sign anything. Was just told what room was handed ID back and given the key and that was it.

When got in the room it was freezing cold, no heat was on but was never told it was not on. It is baseboard heat and one in main area and one in bedroom but no heat in the smallest bathroom I have ever seen. Never did heat up all night. It was drafty and noisy something squeaky all night outside window but could not see anything.

Booked for 4 people but only 2 towels. There was cups and mugs all of was clean but only tea left but no fixing(sugar or whitener) and the bathroom mirror was water spotted.

The beds were so different too one was ok (in own room so gave to the kids) and the other was like sleeping on a board in the bigger area with only 1 heater. Only way to get warm was to have a HOT shower and jump quickly into bed befor cooling off.
