I liked that it was updated, very clean, lots of parking and convenient to the city. I didn't like the lack of a dead bolt inside the room and the room we stayed in really needed weather stripping gasket around the door.

très très bien ,propreté impeccable, grande chambre accueil chaleureux .Nous étions tellement bien que nous sommes restés au motel une journée complète assis dehors et avons mangé dehors également. Table à pique-nique sur le terrain, bien pensé. Peut-être mettre une poubelle à l'extérieur.

I ride a motorcycle and always look for parking outside the door. Perfect at this motel. The rooks were very clean and up to date. Looked like it had just been painted. Not much in extra facilities, but shopping and excellent restaurants are walking distance away. The staff was pleasant and efficient. It's a comfy clean room I would stay here again, and recommend it.

Another great one night stay. The price was right and though the room was small, it was clean, quiet, and the bed comfortable. Dont be fooled by the outdated photos - the rooms have been upgraded. Only negative, we found candy wrappers behind one of the night stands. A bit more attention to detail is needed. Overall though, highly recommend this property.

Booked the hotel in advance. On our way to the hotel we call the service to let them know about the arrival time. The guy picking up the phone was extremely rude. Saying the reservation was cancelled. However there was no communication from Orbits about the cancellation.

Very well kept, newly renovated, sparkling clean basic motel, conveniently located on the country road from Toronto to Ottawa area. Our room didn't have any fishy smell as you would sometimes expect from such older motels. The family that runs it did everything to make our stay the most relaxing, and we appreciated that. The room with one queen bed was quite spacious and we had everything we needed for a one-night stop. Our bed was comfortable, as well as was was the bedding. Though the motel itself is on the busy road near the rail tracks, and it was mostly full, it was really quite all night, so we could enjoy the uninterrupted sleep. We would definitely consider staying there again if we're in the area.
