What guests think

At Saxony Motel, travelers consistently note friendly, accommodating staff, spacious rooms, and budget-friendly rates in a convenient location near dining, making it a practical stop for short stays and road trips.

Many reviews, however, describe an older, sometimes worn property with exterior areas needing attention and a limited continental breakfast. Noise can be an issue due to thin walls or loud neighbours, and a few guests felt uneasy about the area or other patrons. Housekeeping and maintenance are mixed, with recurring mentions of door locks, uncomfortable beds, or fixtures needing repair, alongside numerous reports of very clean rooms. Expect a basic, budget stay best for value seekers.

The motel is clean, staff are good, but the upstairs railing seems unsafe. The outside needs to be upgraded.

Fast & Friendly Check-In/Check-Out. Room had comfortable bed, pillows & comforter. Window/in wall type air condtioner was a little loud but did the trick dealing with the hot & humid weather. Pleasant continental breakfast included in cozy dining nook. Hassle-free self-parking. Convenient Tim Horton's across the street and Portugese restaurant next door with dine-in or takeout options. Ideal budget-friendly stay.

We needed accommodations due to a family funeral in Chatham. The property was clean and appeared newly renovated. Photos of the property were accurate. The hosts were very personable, pleasant and helpful. There is no elevator as this is a two-floor motel but parking is close to access the rooms. We were on the second floor but those who cannot climb stairs should request ground floor accommodations when they book. The linens were clean and the rooms smelled fresh. This is a no smoking motel. “Continental Breakfast” was offered but it lacked variety and no hot foods were offered other than tea and coffee. There was no breakfast area, simply a couple of tables in the main office. However, with the price of the rooms being very fair, it was only a small inconvenience. We opted to eat at a local restaurant instead. We got what was presented to us through the Expedia App and were pleased with the results. The only downfall was the garbage disposal trucks that woke us very early, emptying the large business bins in the parking lot next door, which was directly opposite the rooms. Regardless, it was a pleasant stay at a place we had never been before, and we will be back to stay there again.

Rooms are in good shape. We were on second floor and stairs to that floor were simple 2x10 boards that creaked when someone walked on them. Sound could be heard in our room 3 doors down from the stairs.

The rooms smells and are dusty, outdated and we’re not cleaned. Dirt marks everywhere. Luckily I brought wipes and paper towel. I had to clean the entire place if we won’t be able to sleep. The place smells and the microwave is so all the inside had stains of some kind of microwaved burnt. The ad shown does not justify the actual condition of the hotel. What a bad decision to stay here

Never cleaned the room. Dirty shower hair and bathtub. Everything needed to be cleaned dusted washed. Called and they sent the cleaner and she wiped some things down. Still hair in shower bathtub and place is still not that much cleaner but doable. Too much dust aswell. The window was disgusting. Asked for the window to be washed as it was filthy with hands and smudges. I do not recommend this hotel for families with kids. Drunks yelling, swearing outside while they sit and smoke. Cleaniness is important to me when i stay at any hotel. This hotel isn't for us due to uncleaniness and drunks.

Our overall stay was good. The beds and bathroom were clean. Except there was a burn hole in the mattress cover. Considering it was a non smoking room I found this a little strange. The room we were in could use a good Spring Cleaning. A few of the electrical outlets were a little scary. Especially the one the desk lamp was plugged into. The furniture was outdated and a little rickety. All and all It was good for the price.

Exceptional room and service for a motel, the front desk called us before we arrived to inform us that the Wifi was temporarily down and apologized profusely. They made sure we were happy with our room and tried to put us in the room that was easiest to access as we had an infant. Really couldn't ask for more, although I wish the bathroom light switch was inside the bathroom.

The motel itself is pretty good. Get what you pay for. The front desk check in staff are awesome! The different clusters of guys out on the balcony and walk ways, leave a little bit to be desired. Beds are uncomfortable however. Room very clean. No major issues other than the beds really are not comfortable.

The hotel was ok, it is an older property that has been upgraded, but the chair in our room was ratty and torn. The biggest problem was the noise from the room upstairs.

The breakfast area had three small tables in a small room. The breakfast options were very limited. The bed and pillows were comfy, and the room was quiet. The lighting was dated, dim and the bathroom switch controlled the shower room, a separate sink area and the loud exhaust fan came on with both lights. A second lock on the door would be beneficial. Staff was friendly and polite.

It was our second stay at this motel, I liked the comfort of beds and pillows, I was walking barefoot and noticed how clean the floor was. Breakfast was simple but just enough, orange juice was really good. It is not a hot breakfast but had all my family liked. Waffles for kids, yogurt and croissants for us. One thing I would wish they had extra pillows.
