What guests think
At Lively Inn and Suites - Sudbury, reviews describe an older, renovating property with mixed cleanliness, limited amenities and on-site dining, friendly yet inconsistent service, and generally basic, good-value rooms in a convenient location near shops and the highway.
Multiple guests reported security and noise concerns, including unlocked side doors, poorly lit parking, and disturbances from other rooms late at night. Room features vary: several mention spacious layouts and comfortable beds, while others note intermittent A/C and missing basics like phones, alarm clocks, or working remotes. Overall, expect a no-frills, budget stay with trade-offs.

Price was good. I didn't like how you couldn't use front entrance after hours. I also didn't like not having a alarm clock or any phone for a wake up call.

It was the most uncomfortable bed I ever slept in. The noise from the other rooms all heard muffled conversations all night long. Security is very lacking. Side door unlocked all night and no access to front desk. No phone in the room to contact the concierge, and no Do not disturb sign to put on the door. Got hassled by two drunks. They got the rooms mixed up. The parking outside is poorly lit up makes it feel unsafe. I will NOT be staying there again.

I've stayed here a few times years ago under different ownership. I ignored the newer reviews... I typed out a very lengthy review and decided to delete it and keep it short. I originally booked and paid for 2 nights. I stayed for 1 night. Staff was friendly. The restaurant/bar is no longer in the building. The chinese buffet is still there... but ya... I think they're trying to save on hydro because the front lobby is dark without lighting. Rooms ac would randomly turn off giving an error, reset it to get it going again. They have alot of tenant style people living in the motel. Some of which i know to be known drug addicts. I was unable to get a good nights sleep. Woken up a few times to people outside the window in the parking lot. Concerned for my truck. Morning after the 1st night i went to have a shower, whoever cleans the bathroom didn't do a good job, long hair in the sink, in the bathtub, on the walls.... i have very short hair. Again, i was booked and paid for 2 nights, i stayed for 1 and then ended up spending more money to stay in a more reputable place. Nothing against the staff or new owner, but it's not the same experience i knew about from years prior. I recommend to pay the extra money and stay somewhere else, unless you truly can't afford the extra cost. There is restaurants and a grocery store near by. If that helps anyone.

This property is very dated. The room was clean but not aesthetically pleasing. The exterior side door was broken, so anyone could enter. The one restaurant in the hotel is closed but there are other places near by. Not really the best place for the price.

My room was quiet and the location was convenient. The place has a very run down look and feel to it. Plexiglass exterior doors, muzzy carpets, no housekeeping and cigarette butts and garbage at the entrances. I should say that the same garbage and butts were there for the three days that I stayed. Clearly the staff don't care enough to run a broom around to keep the front entrance looking inviting.

DO NOT STAY HERE. The pictures and descriptions on Travelocity are not accurate and the reviews can’t be actual travelers. There is no coffee or food except for a scary looking restaurant. The property is filthy, unsafe, smells, is outdated, and has trash inside and out. A side door is left open all night - and no one mans the desk from 11pm to 7:30am. I posted pictures - the floor and walls are dirty and stained. Both of our lamps had the shades almost completely torn off. Two sinks - only one works. 2 small pillows on each bed - very a ratchet sheets and towels. Tub and sinks were old and stained. Windows are filthy. Our dog whines and growled all night, which is not typical. We got a shower and got the hell out. Never saw an employee.

On arrival we were up sold to a newly renovated room for $20 cash which was very nice. The shower was fun as was the northern light feature over the bed. Make it yourself coffee was available in the lobby but required phone flashlight as lobby is very dark. Staff overly attentive. But polite. Gas station and Timmies close by.

Front desk staff was rude about the fact that I booked a room without indicating that I had pets even though I explained I wasn’t provided this option during booking; regardless there was a big sign on the wall indicating a $25 fee “for pets” but he then charged me *per pet* and said it was a typo. I don’t know that he corrected it. The beds were comfortable .

Unwelcoming lobby. Dirty building and room. Breakfast was keurig coffee and a pack of muffins in a fridge (with only 2 left and there was 4 of us). Thankfully tim hortons was just around the corner. Trying to check out at 845am and there was no one there to help. Rang bell, waited... then called the phone number which it went to voicemail. Finally someone came out from the room behind desk which is where he had been sleeping. All in all will definitely not stay there again.

It was a nice stop for our travels but the entrance is poorly marked or not marked at all. I drove by 3 times.

Interesting part of town and not close to anything. The facility was average with very helpful staff. The room itself was clean but dated and run down. Lots of channels on the TV though !

This property is very dated. The room was clean but not aesthetically pleasing. The exterior side door was broken, so anyone could enter. The one restaurant in the hotel is closed but there are other places near by. Not really the best place for the price.

Dining
On-site dining is limited and inconsistent: reports range from minimal lobby coffee and packaged muffins to a closed restaurant/bar, while one guest mentioned a buffet. Many relied on nearby eateries for meals.

DO NOT STAY HERE. The pictures and descriptions on Travelocity are not accurate and the reviews can’t be actual travelers. There is no coffee or food except for a scary looking restaurant. The property is filthy, unsafe, smells, is outdated, and has trash inside and out. A side door is left open all night - and no one mans the desk from 11pm to 7:30am. I posted pictures - the floor and walls are dirty and stained. Both of our lamps had the shades almost completely torn off. Two sinks - only one works. 2 small pillows on each bed - very a ratchet sheets and towels. Tub and sinks were old and stained. Windows are filthy. Our dog whines and growled all night, which is not typical. We got a shower and got the hell out. Never saw an employee.

On arrival we were up sold to a newly renovated room for $20 cash which was very nice. The shower was fun as was the northern light feature over the bed. Make it yourself coffee was available in the lobby but required phone flashlight as lobby is very dark. Staff overly attentive. But polite. Gas station and Timmies close by.

Unwelcoming lobby. Dirty building and room. Breakfast was keurig coffee and a pack of muffins in a fridge (with only 2 left and there was 4 of us). Thankfully tim hortons was just around the corner. Trying to check out at 845am and there was no one there to help. Rang bell, waited... then called the phone number which it went to voicemail. Finally someone came out from the room behind desk which is where he had been sleeping. All in all will definitely not stay there again.

The greeting staff when we arrive were VERY good! Very nice, led us to your room, opened our door for us. Continental breakfast : 1. Was a loaf of bread, toaster, and inside a bar fridge jams or a muffin. Store bought muffins, the must have been good for it was empty every time we checked. :) 1. Coffee - Coffee machine where you could make your own coffee. Sugar was in a med plastic container with a lid, but there where two coffee spoons from a previous person with coffee on them left in sugar. ULG... With COVID and general hygiene... I decided not to have coffee. I also noticed the motel was very nice to accommodate, people with lower incomes to help support their business, for they where sitting outside the front door of the motel. Overall the checking was great due to staff, bed sheets were nice clean white sheets . COVID has made it hard for a lot of businesses...
