What guests think

At Mariner motor hotel, guests describe a no‑frills retro motel with budget‑friendly rates, walkable access to downtown and trails, and generally quiet stays, but with dated rooms and uneven upkeep that can affect overall comfort.

Many reviews praise very clean rooms and comfortable beds, though others report odors, stained linens, or occasional pests. Service feedback is split between friendly staff and instances of absent or unresponsive front desk, limited hours, and missed basics like coffee or promised breakfast. Several guests mention slow or unreliable Wi‑Fi, noisy or inefficient heat and AC, and minor maintenance issues. Expect an affordable, old‑school stay with variable quality.

The price the convenience to downtown the friendly staff. The place could use some work outside for more appel. I felt safe but the two key system would have been easier if the two keys looked different in someway and it was difficult to open the outside door very heavy to open.

When we checked in, it took several minutes to get someone to the front desk, but once he was there he was friendly and helpful. the place was pretty much what we expected, a little run down, but still in good shape, a little dated but nice enough for the cost. The first morning, there were no spoons for the coffee. The second morning, there was no coffee for the coffee. I don't do much until I get caffeinated, so that was a big problem for us, had to try and pack up and get to Timmies. Overall it was fine, and still great for the price.

Nasty carpet, very grimy. Stains on sheets. Horrible AC extremely loud, and if you term it off it gets so humid and musty because the windows don’t open, impossible to sleep. You suffer from a loud AC or unbreathable conditions. You can smell that dog’s and cats sleep on the beds. It’s supposed to be pay upon arrival but they charged our credit card before we got there, taking away our option to use our business debit card. The only good thing was the shower and sink, our toilet clogged twice. The service was pretty good. Good location.

The photos are deceiving. Smelly room. Dirty and very washed out linen. We had to go to Walmart and buy our own bed linen. Bar soaps were broken. We spent one night and it was more than enough. Also the only staff who talked to me on the phone wasn’t friendly and polite.

Disgusting! I don't know where to start...arrived in room to find a USED CONDOM at the foot of the bed. Told the desk manager...he came to the room I told him where the condom was..he looked everywhere but the place I told him even though it was in pretty clear view as if he was playing a game! Finally he looked at the condom and said "oh it's just garbage" and basically brushed my concerns off! We should've just left there and then but didn’t have any other available options. Upon further inspection there were stains on the sheets and towels, (we requested clean sheets but never received them) hair (that was not ours) thick dust on the window blinds, cobwebs...need i go on? We checked out a night early, telling the desk manager our concerns and reasons for leaving...all he said was that it was our choice to leave and did not offer any compensation. If I could give zero/5 rating I would.

It may be older in furnishings and decor, but the bedsheets and towels were totally white, and the bathroom very clean! Those are the most important things to me! Staff is extremely friendly and helpful to guests!

The motel is dated and it shows. Although there was a refrigerator and microwave in the room there wasn't enough power outlets to run them. The WiFi network was very slow. For the price of the room I didn't feel satisfied as a comparable room almost anywhere else in Collingwood would have done better,

I knew the rooms here hadn't changed since the 50s but it bothered me that the room was freezing when I arrived. It was -15 out and took a while to get remotely warm. TV didn't work either and there was no one at the front desk. Great price and location though.

It\'s a very quiet and peaceful area, overall very comfortable night stay if you don\'t mind the noisy AC or the advertised "queen size" bed is actually double. I would say the quality is worthy of the price

The room was quite small, and as it was only my five year old and myself, it was fine. Everything was unplugged except for the TV, including the mini fridge and lights. Whether that’s planned (for eco purposes) I don’t know, but it’s the first time I’ve ever encountered that. The light above the bed didn’t work. The AC was extraordinarily loud, though that could be because of the overall size of the room. There were two odd “doors” as windows that opened underneath the window, one of which had a garbage bag taped on. The bed was comfy. The TV kept me in a YTV loop, every channel somehow defaulted to YTV. Wifi was garbage, it was very slow in between the constant cutting out. The lady at the front desk was friendly enough and check in was a breeze. I’d probably stay again with my kid, as it wasn’t a terrible experience, and we were only there to sleep, but if I were traveling with my girlfriend, I don’t think we’d stay here.
