Rothesay Motel

What guests think

At Rothesay Motel, reviewers consistently highlight very clean, comfortable rooms and a quiet, convenient setting near shops, restaurants, and the airport, with good value for simple, cottage-style accommodations that have been refreshed while retaining their older charm.

Ground-level parking by the door and small outdoor seating are convenient, and many units provide a microwave and fridge; several guests wished for an ice machine. Repeated comments note strongly scented linens or room sprays, and a few reports of musty or moldy odours, slippery or cold tile floors, and loud window AC. Service is widely described as warm and accommodating, with easy check-in, but one guest reported a strict pet policy and a couple asked for additional door security. A sensible choice for travelers who prioritize practicality over full-service amenities.

I liked that it is on ground floor and can park outside room. They have little table outside each room to sit. Rooms as good or better than any box hotel, clean and you dont have to climb stairs or walk through a lobby. Best value!

The beds were very comfortable and it was a really quiet area. One can sit out in front as there is a little bistro set. It is a small 2 bedroom but it is clean.

Neat roadside cabin near a restaurant. Stay would have perfect if it had not been a scent used to spray the room. This launched a sneezing attack and there was no kleenex…. However, I have to recommend this affordable spot: it comes equipped with a microwave and mini-fridge. Very very good for the low price!

Cute quaint little 1920’s cottage. Small but very clean. There is a sign saying let the hot water run 3 to 5 minutes as the water heater isn’t right at the cottage. I did that and had no issue with warm water for my shower.

Overall our stay was very pleasant. This motel had everything you could want or need. The only issue, which wasn't an issue for us was the heavily scented sheets and pillowcases. I'm not sure which detergents/fabric softeners or scent boosters were used but if you have scent issues i would definitively call in advance. Thankfully that didn't bother us and we had a very good stay. Two thumbs up.

Well, I'm of the opinion we were misled by the excellent ratings. Two bedroom, cool looking community, all seemed excellent. Arrived no problem, problem was lack of privacy. While the AC was good in the living room, not so much in the front bedroom. The sheets were heavily scented, making it difficult to sleep. Maybe we just had a bad experience, has potential, just didn't working out for us

The room was nice, large and very clean. The location was quiet, we were able to sleep with the window open without any noise. The only thing we didn’t like was the smell of the bed sheets/pillow cases and towels/facecloths. Whether the scent was from fabric softener or laundry beads or something else but it was very strong. Please stop using the scented products. Luckily none of us have allergies or breathing issues. If we had we would not have been able to stay in the room. No scents is good sense! Than you!

Very interesting history. Locals still know it by the old name. I stayed in one of the original cabins and that was pretty cool. Renovated inside but outside looks true to original buildings. Inside was perfect for me as a single. Comfy bed and amenities I need with good internet. Old layout so bathroom is small but updated. Quite enjoyed the little escape from the norm.

I’m general, the property was OK, but there were two things that made our stay very unpleasant. 1) There was a strong perfume-like smell in the room; we think it may have been from a product used in the laundry process…the smell seemed to come from the bed linen. 2) The room had a very loud window air conditioning unit.

I was travelling as a solo female traveler. I was the only guest in the hotel. It was the first hotel I’ve ever been to that did not have a secondary lock on the door. It was too similar to the set of a horror movie to be able to stay. The only thing I knew for sure was that I, the creepy front desk, guy, and everyone else who had ever stayed in this room, would have access after I fell asleep. I asked myself if anyone would have any sympathy for me if I was raped and murdered overnight because based on the circumstances, there did not appear to be any other possible outcome. It was only the second time in my hotel staying life when I was asked to pay for the full stay before checking in. The time before that my husband had to arrange the ceiling tiles over the bed so that if the rats fell through one of the gaps, they wouldn’t land on us while we were sleeping. Lesson learned, if they ask for payment in full before you check in, you’re better off sleeping in your car.

When I booked on Hotels.com there was no where did it say my small dog was not allowed. When I showed up the person at the counter was very rude about the situation. I continued to say it wasn't a problem my dog could stay in my truck for the night. He then proceeded to tell me no the dog could not stay on the premises at all. Fine I could find another place to stay and asked to be refunded and was told no because he didn't have 48 hours notice. So I left found another place to stay and did not get refunded and ended up paying for two places to stay.

Best thing about this motel is the staff, Jong in particular. I hope I got his name right. He is a ray of sunshine and made the experience an awesome one. Always very helpful. This was near to the airport and it was clean. For a motel, I was surprised it came up to $165 (including tax) a night but not complaining. Quite a few good food choices within walking distance. There was even 2 bubble tea stores.
