We stayed at the Colonial because we needed to do some demolition to our cottage in Sauble Beach. We booked 3 rooms in the newer section and found them to be very clean and comfortable. The front desk staff were all friendly and helpful as well. We took advantage of the pool and were the only ones taking advantage of... More

This is a clean, safe, standard motel with no frills. Price range was moderate to high for a motel (approx $150/night with 2 double beds). However, you're paying for high season in Port Elgin (beaches are beautiful) and great customer service. Overall, I felt it was worth the peace of mind. Although not really a "frill", don't forget that there... More

Great place to stay. Our family booked 4 rooms and all of enjoyed our stay. The staff was friendly and helpful when we got there (but rude and confusing though when we inquired by email about room availability. If you can, better to just call and save the aggravation.) The bathrooms are newly renovated and really nice. The rooms are... More

We had a nice refreshing dip in the pool after a warm day of travelling. Staff gave us a lots of towels for the... More

As far as the rooms go, this is your basic motel. The difference here is the cleanliness and friendliness of the staff. With Port Elgin being a beach town you're not going to find anything too fancy but I was very impressed with how clean the rooms are. I've been to some supposed top hotels and have not found them...

This is one of the older motels on the strip. It's well kept and clean but, being an ex-smoker, I could faintly detect the odor of 'old smoke' in the room/hallway. However, it's not a deal breaker when you consider the price is about 75% less than what the newer chains are charging. Staff is friendly, service excellent. Would not... More

Great for family stay with indoor pool & hot tub for those rainy days. Clean rooms.....the courtyard (south parking) rooms are smaller than the North ones/ garden side. They have antique shop in the lobby stuffed with variety of items & tastes. The onsite restaurant offers good breakfast for reasonable price. across the street from Gian Tiger store & LCBO.... More
