The New Elgin Motel

I was bit apprehensive at first to go for this after reviewing its review here but what I experienced was totally different. Everything was neat and clean. Bedding & towels were superb. Furniture & Fittings were like they have been recently renovated. 

In all, amazing experience. May be all this is due to change in owners/management or so.

we enjoyed our stay at the hotel, this was our second visit..great\t low cost accommodation a fair price. hotel has a patio area with a BBQ and patio set where you can eat..good value for the price you pay

.great low cost accomdationsat a fair price

Beds were hard and uncomfortable. No microwave as promised.  Only one towel for two people.  No coffee maker.  The room was very dark and dingy, probably has not been updated since the Motel opened.However the worst was that you had no control over the heat / air conditioning.  The thermostat is locked behind one of the plastic boxes and has a paper taped in it so you cant even see what the temperature is.  We asked if they could unlock it so that we could turn the temperature up.  We were told that we can shut the vents or cover them up, that the air conditioning would change at 10 pm so it would not be as cold.  Not sure what time they turn it down again but by 8 am needed to put a jacket on.  :(

Still in the 1970's

I use inexpensive motels on a regular basis, and don't mind going without the frills to save a few dollars, but this motel is not worth it. It cost $50 for the night. There was very little heat and it was December. The water in the toilette, sink and tub, had "stuff" floating in it. No idea what it was, but I was avoiding it. The towels were badly stained and very stiff. The floor was not clean and I dropped a pair of pants on it, and could not wear them afterwards as they were covered with dirt and lint. The bed sheets had bits of black lint on them and there were holes in the blanket and bedspread. Broken venetian blinds, broken tap, chipped bath tub, dirty... this place is not one that I will ever stay at again.

Just slightly better than sleeping in your car.

The room was small (suppose to be a suite with a kitchen). It had a small sink and a mix of dishes and utensils that clearly came from a thrift store as they were things your grandmother would have had. Nothing was clean. The shower was disgusting, the water out of every faucet in the room smelled like sulphur. The carpet was stained all over, everything in the room was falling apart. Toilet paper was just on a metal rack, no roll hanger/dispenser. There were rules that no visitors after 11pm or noise after 11pm. The smell of curry was brutal as the room was attached to the office which was attached to the other suite which the desk staff stayed in. Very noisy, all you could hear were cars on one side and the office staff chattering on the phone in a foreign language as well as their tv. If you wanted room service (cleaning/towels etc) you had to go to the front office and ask between 11am and 2pm. The tv was huge but it was an OLD style tube tv that took 5 minutes to warm up before you could see picture. When you finally did, their advertised "cable tv" was only like 20 Channels. The last night of the 2 nights I actually found bugs in my room.

Awful Motel

I used to live in this area, all the hotels on this road have been taken over by foreigners This is absolutely a complete 100 percent a hole. The plastic blinds are broken, The furniture was something similar to what my great grandmother had. The pies send out chunky yellow water when first turned on. The mattress was tattered with an old old bed spread and two flat pillows on it. There was one towel in the bathroom and we asked for a double occupancy. the walls are panelling and the room has no heat control. The main building controls it. The room is the smallest hotel room I have ever seen. The TV is a big old one, that buzzed so loud ( Actually that was the final topper)

We checked it knowing it would be a budget hotel ; but I am honestly telling you it is not suitable for customers. It is in condition to be torn down. Or completely gutted. After looking around the room and starting the shower to have a bath. I knew there was no way we could stay here; so I called the man at the front desk and he did refund our money after telling him of my concerns and severe disappointment.

Broken Blinds, This hotel hasn't been renovated in at least 40 years.. Come on people it's not in rentable condition!!!!
