Espanola Motel

What guests think

At Espanola Motel, reviews describe a budget roadside stop with mixed conditions, from basic or dated rooms and noisy A/C to frequent cleanliness and maintenance issues, check-in quirks via the restaurant, and an Indian restaurant praised.

Many guests report traffic and neighbor noise, broken doors or latches, limited power outlets, and heating or hot-water problems. Service feels split: several praise accommodating staff, while others faced hard-to-reach management, unusual deposits or slow refunds, and check-in/check-out delays. Breakfast is sometimes missing despite being listed in bookings. Overall, expect a basic, sometimes rough stay best for a one-night stop.

Disgusting no heat in a northern Ontario motel. A single plug in portable heater. No central heat source. Old Disgusting motel only fit to be gutted and rebuilt . I showed her my email reservation but they had no record of me. When I asked about heat, she said at least there was an AC unit. I said oh that’s so useful when it’s -3. I did not take pics, a fancy shower system in a tub with black mold in the caulking and on the floor where it had more moldy on that caulking too. In a bathroom with no heat. It needs a nether inspection to close it down. I think I’ll call the health dept on Monday

Bathroom floor was disgusting behind the door. Microwave and fridge were in the bedroom, there was an extension cord run across the floor to plug in the TV which was not safe, and a tripping hazard. TV remote did not work. Also 2 completely filled dirty garbage cans right outside the door. Worked for the one night we needed somewhere to sleep, but not worth the price for what we got.

The motel is in shambles, dirty with mold and a rat in the room. The young girl was very helpful and apologized profusely and helped moved us to another room, slightly better but still felt unsanitary. It should be taken off from any recommended listings. And it took a while for them to remove the usual credit card hold for security; I had to call them. Beware!

Listing needs to be updated to reflect the current name of the hotel (Espanola motel vs Suhkdev motel). Reception also doubled as a restaurant, and the check-in was at the bar. Otherwise, the rooms were very clean and seemed freshly renovated.

This hotel was filthy. We requested a refund as we refused to stay in a room that was that dirty! The door didn’t even close properly and cold draft from door. The floors, walls and bathroom room disgusting. We asked for a full refund and spoke to manager and he couldn’t refund until he spoke with hotels.com. We tried to find contact information from hotels.com and couldn’t get anything. We will never use this app again and will never stay at this hotel ever again!

The Motel was on road so entering or exiting was smooth. Problem was with the poorly maintained property. Breakfast was included in the booking but on-site was no breakfast. terrible flooring, the tiles were loose and walking over was making noise and appears that the tile will come out. Not at all expected.

About what you would expect from a roadside motel. Good service and good sized room. Drawbacks were no light at one corner of the room where the breakfast table was and the shower head is a bit low. Other than that were pretty happy with paying $210 for a 2 nights stay. Good Indian restaurant attached/part of the motel. Bring shampoo.

To start, there is no designated check in office, you go through the restaurant which is not clear when you drive up. The first room the TV didn’t work so moved us to another room. The bed was ok, but tile floor when you walk in was loose, to the point we thought they would break. There was a coffee maker but no coffee, tea or cups. There was no hair dryer, or electrical outlet in the bathroom. No phone or clock in the room. Gave you a very small bar of soap in the bathroom but that was it. Location was good. I would not recommend.

For the price they charged, we thought it would be a lot better. the one queen bed squeaked every time we sat on it. Was told not to use heater and microwave at same time as it would blow a fuse.

Would not recommend anyone go here. We showed up between the said check-in times and had to wait because the “reservation person wasn’t in.” Then they demanded we leave the wedding we were attending to return to pay fees they didn’t originally charge. Also had to fight them for the $200 security deposit they charged us. Room was gross, bed was gross. Don’t do it

Je remercie beaucoup les deux jeune filles qui s’occupaient de l’établissement. Elle étaient très gentilles, polies, serviables, toujours à l’écoute et souriantes. Le motel n’était pas dans ces plus beaux jours mais pratique et fais l’affaire pour un court séjour. Je recommande le Motel pour ceux qui sont de passage a Espanola.

nobody around in office at checkin time, drove around the building 4 times and tried every door until finally someone waved us in. there was a piece of broken glass on the floor so obviously wasn’t swept. wind and snow blowing in around the door , windows and ac unit This is a 1 star facility only because it’s better than sleeping outside.

This motel has definitely seen better days and it's in pretty rough shape. The people were nice enough but I didn't appreciate them photocopying my driver's license (not sure this is even legal and they did not tell me they were doing it) or the $150 damage deposit to my credit card that I was required to pay in advance of getting our room. It was super cheap so I guess I should have known not to expect too much!

Let’s be real, this is a stopover spot. The motel sits right on the main road, so expect some traffic noise. Check-in is done through the restaurant, and the staff member who helped me was very friendly, clearly explained the security deposit, and even showed me to my room. The shower was hot and the bed was clean which is exactly what I needed for a night. Would I stay again? Probably not, but it served its purpose and I got a restful sleep.

1. Room was in unhealthy condition. The main door was broken as shown in the photo and as we were staying in family with small kids, smoking and party sound was distrubed us from the neighbouring rooms. We called the resturant and they didnot help. We called police to stop it at mid night. 2. The bath room is without any knob. Hence it cannot be opened if you close from inside. There is no tub or water tap. Only shower and the water was coming very slow and cold. 3. As breakfast included when we booked the hotel, but there is no complimentary breakfast available when we enquired. As we were 2 families travelled 500 kms and just after the school break so we did not have choice to cancel, it ruined our overall trip.

The motel itself was in poor condition as was the inside of the room we stayed in. Bedding was not as clean as it should have been, walls and doors had scuff marks and dirt from the top of the door to the bottom. On the up side the food in the restaurant is considered to be very good.
