What guests think

Across many reviews, Tay Inn is praised for spotless rooms, friendly hands‑on owners, recent updates, and fair prices, making it a simple, dependable stop for short stays near Perth with easy parking and drive‑up convenience.

Guests frequently note a convenient Highway 7 location close to food options, the Perth Brewery, and a short drive to downtown. Common drawbacks include occasional strong cleaning or air‑freshener scents, some road or train noise, and, less often, loud air conditioning, compact rooms, or mismatched pillow and mattress firmness. Expect a no‑frills, well‑run roadside motel with warm service and straightforward comfort.

The Tay Inn is an incredibly nice, clean motel. The owners are extremely nice and make you feel really welcome. We love being able to drive right up to your door to unload and load. The price is excellent.

Tay Inn was exactly what we were looking for as we moved our son from Ottawa to Toronto. Nice big parking lot to park the UHaul truck! The owner was so wonderful and even called us 20 minutes after we left to let us know that I left my kindle in the room. Thank you so much!! Room was a decent size, fridge, coffee maker and microwave came in handy. Nice to have two chairs outside to enjoy our coffee in the morning. Right beside Perth Brewery which has some really nice beers (try the ginger beer!). Would stay here again.

It was easy to access, outside of the shopping area, you have to drive for shopping but there is Tims across the street and Wendys in 3 minute walk.

The Tay Inn is one of the cleanest places we have ever stayed in. One could literally smell the cleaning materials in our room. We noticed on checking out that not only the sheets were being washed but also the bedspreads which is not common practice. Small rooms with everything one could possibly need and looked as if it was newly renovated, including new windows. Parking right outside our room. Friendly owner actively was involved in the room cleaning. A one night stay en route back vacation. Price was amazing. Definitely would recommend this location, and I’m fussy

The Tay Inn is the cleanest, most comfortable motel I have ever stayed in. It is so convenient to anywhere you wish to go in Perth. It has everything you need. A very comfortable bed and pillows, a fridge, microwave, t.v., fabulous shower and table and chairs. The owners and their family are lovely people who greet you warmly upon arrival. There isn’t anything better!

The only thing i didn't like was the air freshener they used in the room ...when we walked into the room it was so strong i immediately got a headache and had to open windows and leave room for a few hours...came back could stil, smell it but was more bareable...could still smell it the next day. It was very unpleasant!

Very clean although they must have sprayed air fresheners before I arrived as it was very strong scent. Once it aired out it was fine but was rather intense at first Best sleep I had in a motel in awhile. It is on the highway and the other side is train track but I’m a sound sleeper so didn’t bother me. Would definitely stay again 😊

I asked if there was a wheelchair accessible room as my husband had just had ankle surgery and couldn’t walk. I was given the room that was easiest to access with a wheelchair and our stay went very well. The gentleman at check in and check out was very friendly and accommodating. Also the beds were very comfortable and I like that the room haf a mini fridge, microwave and coffee. I would stay here again.
