Had a bed, that’s the only positive I can say
Passing through on a drive to a further destination, this motel offered a clean bed that was comfortable enough for a night on the road. The room was not in a good state of upkeep, damage to the door, the tables, the wall in the bathroom left much to be desired. The toilet was clogged, and as we checked in late in the evening we didn’t notice until the morning. It definitely had not been cleaned from the previous occupant. If we had arrived earlier I definitely would have asked for a different room.

6/10 Good

I had asked for a bottom floor but had second floor, I had to make two trips up and down the stair. My knee is so sore after up and down the stairs. The desk drawer would not close so was a hazard when walking around the bed. The toilet is so close to the vanity you bang your arm and cannot reach the toilet paper with out hurting yourself. This is my third time staying there and my last.

There were ants all over the beds. The faucet in bath tub kept falling off. When I told the manager he didn't seem to show that he cared at all.

4/10 Fair

Our room did not look anything like the pictures, room wasn't very clean and the carpet was missing a large piece. Staff were very friendly but not very well trained, including in the restaurant staff. Everyone seemed to be doing their best, but still couldn't get the job done properly, including the toast. Dry rye toast came heavily buttered, waitress went to get a new order and came back with dry white. Garbage strewn around the lot. Run down and dated. Will not rebook this property.

2/10 Poor

Room price was CAD 180.67. The room was old, so the price was way to high. I.e. CAD 145.00 would be ok. Bathroom was horrible, the vent was extreme noisy,TV was old, the program (lesser than 15 stupid channels) very poor. The restaurant attached was expensive and offered just junk food (and no Liquor license) Unbelievable that EXPEDIA offers hotels like that.

8/10 Very good

Very good considering Blue River is a small town with limited resources. Nice, quiet hotel just off the highway with easy access and friendly staff. The attached restaurant was under new management so not all services were available, but the food was good and the staff very helpful.

The check in time is incomvenient for travellers who have been on the road for a long drive. The area outside our room was broken concrete and cigarette butts.

Property is old and tired, a poor renovation was done, like putting lipstick on a pig.

A mistake was made in booking. We realized and tried to receive a refund, or rebook. We were unable to do either. We did not receive goods or services and were charged.

The bed was terrible. Very uncomfortable with 2 mismatched pillows on a King size bed. It was expensive for a second rate experience.
