Alta Vista Motel

It was a good nite sleep. It was okay, no coffee machine, or blow dryer. The people at the desk were very helpful, pleasant and I informitable. Good stay.

The washrooms need renovation. Water in the washroom specially the hot water had a rotten egg smell.

Frontdesk person was very nice, place was right on the highways and easy to find,nice new chairs to sit outside (albeit the gravel parking area). Facility was VERY dated, but they did the best they could with what they had. There was a fridge and micro wave but no hair dryer or coffee anywhere. This would have been fine except I had been paying the same price for motels all through the UP that were much nicer and included breakfast, pool and all amenities.

Definitely an older property that needs upgrading. The room was very clean and beds were comfy. The property itself is very beautiful, in the back there is a nice green space and a fire pit.

I liked the quiet area in the back with fire pit, and the bed was quite comfortable with cute blankets. I did like their little soaps and shampoos Screen door was broken, cobwebs, mold, and fruit flies in the room. The only lock on the door was in the handle. No small coffee maker in the room. Roof was tarped eavesdrop broken. I would rate this room around $75-$80 max and not 115. Especially with the shape of this hotel at this moment. I’ve stayed in many of these roadside motels, and this one actually surprised me at how neglected it was

Stayed here while on a fishing trip. Clean, lots of space to park trucks and boats. Friendly service.

Can’t be helped but water is distasteful. I had my own but travellers should be told at sign in directly not have a bad experience ( tried to brush my teeth and it was an awful taste and aftertaste.

Place hasn't been updated in 50 years. No coffee machine. One tissue in tissue box. Fridge freezer was full of ice that was yellow. Price was fairly high for condition of the place.

The check in was fine, the woman at the desk was lovely. The parking lot is crumbling asphalt/gravel. The rooms are wood paneling - likely original. The toilet seat had a cigarette burn on it probably a couple decades old. The bed spreads…also original. The mattress was pretty good oddly enough. The small AC unit was barely operating and super loud. No water pressure for the shower. Overall the room had a smell that was trying to be covered up by a car air freshener hanging on a light bulb suspended on the ceiling. I can’t believe the rate was $150 considering I just stayed in downtown Kingston at the Marriot for $235.

Hotel was not bad just if you are looking for a shower the well water here has alot of sulfur in it and has a strong Rotten egg smell which made me unable to shower due to the smell.

It was clean and affordable, staff very excellent. Located close to a gas station and food.

Motel extremely dated. Floors dirty, duct tape hold shower together, room smelled horrible and beds hard

Helpful, friendly staff; room very clean, but showing its age.

The room was extremely dirty

Older but very clean room & the staff were great went out of there way to make our 3 day stay great.We will be booking with them again.

Room was dirty, carpets are disgusting, dirty bathroom with dead flies. The remote for the TV was sticky and looked terrible. Wish I could upload photos of the room. I highly recommend to go elsewhere.

It was the dirtiest place ever. Moldy bathroom. Also the toilet hadnt been cleaned. Hair amd fresh blood I found on bed sheets, filthy bedding. I was disgusted!

The bed was clean and pretty comfortable. But the rest of the room was kinda poor. From the hole in the wall (from the door knob) patched with a chunk of something, to the mold on the bathroom ceiling and down one side of the mirror. I will say it’s very quiet at night. And the girl on the desk was very pleasant. But if you’re the least bit squeamish, look elsewhere.

Stained sheets and pillow cases. Stained towels. Floor had not been vacuumed in what appears to be weeks. Stay elsewhere.

Friendly staff, comfortable beds, clean rooms.

Was very loud all nite not much sleep

We liked the beds

The room and beds were clean but severly outated. The walls and shower needed repair. The shower curtain needed replacing and the furniture was worn out. Stains on the chairs and carpet as well. Had an issue with the power tripping the lights and air con, but was quickly resolved. It looked like everything was from the 70s and while neat, it was very worn. Would not recommend unless no other available choices.

The rooms were dated but clean. Some touch ups would be nice to make it more esthetically pleasing. The mattresses on the bed were very comfortable, best sleep ive had in a long time. I would stay here again.

Rooms was nice and the bed comfortable.

Its a motel in northern ontario on the trans canada. Bed was comfy and i liked the roku tv. Everything else is outdated like many have said and upgrades are badly needed. Curtains didnt close all the way in my room and the walls are paper thin. Its alright for an overnight place to rest if you are ok with motel environment.

Easy access, clean room & bathroom. However, I gave up figuring out how to lock the door when we went for supper, my husband managed to get it locked. The step up from outside is way higher than code, a potential fall issue. The roofing shingles should have been replaced a good 5 years ago - not being mean, just happen to work in construction, and it struck us immediately. Mattress is very soft. We'll be crawling out to the car tomorrow, and will be in pain for hours!

Very cute. Beds were comfortable! For a motel. ☺️

needs to be updated

It was a relaxed comfortable room. It wasn't modern decor but didn't need upscaled decor. Got 2 beds for the price of one which was nice. They were very friendly and helpful. Not our first stay here. We were here a few years back , hubby remembered it and wanted to stay there again.

Not in a good condition, charged more than what our confirmation stated.

My family and i have been coming here for 6 years the first 2 were the best with the original people that ran it however last year was not so good the property was not taken care of outside nor inside we questioned wether we would return or not however we did return less then a week prior to leaving we were told that our little 5lb dog that comes and behaves eveey year couldnt come this led to boarding fees upon checking in the neibours had dogs there was dog feces right outside our door from a recent stay while checking in i reserved 2 rooms 1family and 1 double it took 3 of them speaking in another language to check us in over 20 min they made there own prices and didnt follow expedia prices where i booked the rooms smelled horrible and the water smelled even worse there are obvious collapsing spots in floor beside the tub the water pressure was awful and the staff were very rude and not proffesional at all we will not be returning as it seems to be just getting worse over time this makes me sad as i have reffered alot of people here over the past 6 years ☹️

Very good Customer service

Staff very friendly room very clean happy with everything

Owner was extremly nice and accomodating

Stayed here for a night with my brother and the staff were very kind and helpful. The rooms are a bit outdated but cozy and comfortable. It was conveniently located with a Tim Hortons and gas station 2 mins away and about a 5 minute drive to Espanola. Would recommend to anyone who needs a place to stay on a budget. Thank you Alta Vista staff for a great stay.

Just horrible. People running place are extremely ignorant. No compassion for anyone. Can't ask a question. I hate writing reviews unless its a positive experience but this is my worst stay using Expedia by far.

It's not the Ritz Carlton. But it doesn't profess to be. Decent place to stay, staff were very helpful and accommodating. Would stay at the Alta Vista again if visiting McKerrow.

3 police cars at 3am was a little un-nerving.
