Clean, but doesn't smell that way

Review of Owen Sound Inn
Reviewed Jul 19, 2022
First of all, it's a motel, not an "inn". Though that's not a big deal.

For a budget motel, it's of good standard. While not perfect, everything works. Bathroom is clean, which is the most important thing as far as I'm concern. Room is clean too.

There's but one major distraction. The owner, who're probably from India, and the owner's family lives on the premise. They obviously need to eat and cook their own meal everyday. Probably as a result of that, the office area smells strongly of curry, which is pretty overpowering. As one need to go by the office on the way in and out, one's sense of smell is assaulted every time.

Would I stay there again? If I can't find a better option, I would.

Disgusting rooms
Rooms smelled poorly
Make sure to check your credit cards for fraudulent charges
Pooorest customer service I’ve ever dealt with

Do not stay here I would rather sleep in my car
Spend the 10$ extra and go up the road to any of the other welcoming hotels up the road

The owner of this hotel is extremely rude. He has some interesting quirky rules such as do not mess both beds if you are the only person in the room. He likes to spy on guests and treat them like children scolding them for any wrongdoing however small. Generally I am a very passive guest but I cannot tolerate the owner of the hotel treating me like a child rather than a paying guest.

This motel room was filthy. Very visibly dirty floors that looks like they haven’t seen a mop for weeks. Thick layer of dust in every corner and all surfaces above eye level. Thank goodness the sheets and towels appeared to be clean. Not worth the price even though nightly rates are relatively low. Avoid at all costs if cleanliness is important to you…especially in a pandemic!

Owner is terribly rude and unmannered. Spies on you , and looks for excuses to throw you out.....but not before trying to get more money out of you. If I could rate this as a zero I would. Go somewhere else where you will be treated with respect.

Room tip: My tip in choosing a good room is to stay at another motel.

This is an old unkept place badly needing a renovation. I needed a room for one day with wifi but when i showed up no one was there. I though i would save some money but this place is not worth the savings... I ended up further up the street for $30 more.
