What guests think

Across recent reviews, Angus Inn Motel is praised for clean, budget-friendly rooms and very friendly staff, with many units offering handy kitchenettes and full fridges, a convenient location near Base Borden and eateries, and a seasonal outdoor pool when available.

Guests frequently highlight strong shower water pressure and abundant hot water. Common drawbacks include firm mattresses, dated decor, noise from thin walls or outdoor activity, and smoke drifting in from people smoking just outside some rooms; parking can also be tight. A few reviews cite issues like room odors, pests or stains, maintenance problems, or booking and charge disputes. Overall, expect a simple, convenient stay focused on practicality over frills.

Decor looks somewhat aged, otherwise all was OK. Clean room, well working shower, comfortable beds, TV remote with fresh batteries, very polite man at check in. The room smelled of burned wood, I thought it was cigarettes but the man at the reception desk assured me that it was a non-smoking room, so no clue what that was. I did not like surroundings, all was beaten up asphalt/cement around the hotel, not a single tree. Our room was just by the pool and some very large family decided to party, play music and yell until almost 11pm.

The pool outside was very nice. The cleanliness of the room was poor, when we went to use the washroom in our motel, there was poop on the wall. Wished there would have been a microwave in the room. Bedding was clean but not enough garbage cans. When we booked in advance for 3 people for the room, they just provided enough for 2 people.

When we arrived, the room smelled strongly of cleaning chemicals. As the smell subsided, I could see why. The room smelled like a crack den. I didn’t even consider walking barefoot on those carpets. To make matters much worse, there were blood stains in multiple locations on my comforter. I was booked for two nights. Upon checking in, I told the manager that I may not need the second night. I was outside the 24 hour cancellation period. Rather than give me the option to cancel the second night, the manager had me pay up front for both nights. I can see why now. After seeing the blood stains on the comforter, I didn’t stay the second night. I have never been in a more disgusting room. They need to replace all of the carpet and comforters to make it sanitary. I don’t normally leave bad reviews, but I want everyone to be warned about what they are getting in to. The manager tries to keep what they have clean, but it’s insufficient. Bloody comforters are not acceptable and need to be replaced.

Bed was HARD, like sleeping on wooden planks, plus it was so high it was almost impossible to get into or off of. Wi-Fi password did not word. There were no instructions on how to work the TV. There were no paper cups in the room. Also, there was only a night table on one side of the bed. We were very disappointed. Only good thing was the location, close to Base Borden.

Corner rooms on main floor are noisy due to having the smoking area right outside the door, the metal staircase, and the BBQ also directly outside the room. Curtains did not fully close, needed to use a hair clip to keep them closed at night. Couldn't open our window due to the cigarette and marijuana smoke that would enter our room, and didn't feel comfortable leaving curtains open. For the price paid I wouldn't return to this motel, did not leave a good first impression.

The hotel was clean, and offered a small kitchenette. The pool was fun and family-friendly, and there many decent dining options within walking distance of the hotel. However, the hotel charged my credit card the morning of our arrival - something I found extraordinaryily odd. As well, the AC didn't work in our room. Made sleeping very awkward. For a short stay, it's alright. For anything longer, I wouldn't recommend it.

When I arrived and reconfirmed my reservation, I was assured everything was correct. Upon entering my room, the accomodation was not what I reserved, was given excuses as if they had done me some favors. Tried to tell me I was mistaken, but after standing my ground, They admitted the error was theirs. Then wanted to charge me more money to "Fix" the problem. I was here for a funeral of my sister, I certainly did not need the extra stress. I will "NEVER" stay with that company again and will certainly pass this review on to all my fellow Veterans and Fire personnel. Terribly Disappointed!!!

Convenient for Base Borden and within walking distance of many food options and shops; a practical base for Wasaga Beach and Collingwood. Some travelers preferred staying in Barrie or disliked the town itself.

The motel was OK for the price. Clean with friendly staff. There was even a pool that we didn't use. What was missing was a plug for our car. Even a normal 110v plug would have done the job. Angus is a really ugly little town with every fast food know to men but it's not that far from Wasaga Beach and Collingwood and the price is reasonable.
