What guests think

At Best Western Plus Fergus Hotel, reviewers consistently highlight welcoming staff, generally clean rooms, and a convenient base near shops and Elora, but also report dated interiors with worn carpets or musty smells, poor water pressure, and parking lot construction.

Beds are frequently described as comfortable, though some rooms have limited TV channels and loud in-room AC units. Complimentary breakfast receives both praise for hot options and criticism for quality, presentation, and early closing time. Several guests felt rates were high for the age and condition of the property, and ride-hailing can be hard to find locally. Expect a straightforward, no-frills stay in a practical location.

Property has no pool. First room we were given appeared clean but was very stinky. We asked for another room and it also was stinky. It was a mouldy smell coming from the carpets. We were unable to get any channels on the TV. Staff were friendly and helpful. Breakfast was excellent.

There was little to none water pressure in the shower. The parking lot was all torn up and full of potholes the plants outside of the hotel were dead. The benches could definitely use a paint job or replaced completely would not recommend staying there.

This hotel Iacks in many ways, one being the updating of its rooms and facilities, everything is old and dark. The parking lot is all gravel. All together needs a major facelift.

The entire parking lot is being torn up and has no suitable parking in the majority of the lot (the useable portion being shared with the large construction equipment being used) or access to the front enterance, with random closing of the road entrances. The elevator doesn’t sound safe, and a portion of the lights are constantly flickering

Elevator was broken. Room was dated. Bed uncomfortable. Breakfast awful - premade and reheated food. Very expensive for what we got. Will never return. I’m not a princess but for +$300 a night I would expect a 5* place - in Fergus of all places. Way too expensive.

This hotel is near shopping and restaurants, that's about it as far as highlights. The property is an older hotel that could benefit from a renovation. The staff were very nice and welcoming. The room was dated, the carpets were worn and slightly stained. The room was fairly clean. I usually wipe down rooms when I arrive. The toilet seat was clean as well as the outside of the bowl. While wiping the outside of the bowl I noted under the room of the bowl was very dirty and mildewed. I also noted a few hairs in the shower. The worst part of the hotel was the shower. The water pressure is non existent. I had to take a shower 3 times longer than I normally take because it took so long to wash the soap from my body. Also the shower was very slippery after it was wet with soap and water. Make sure to use the handle bar on the shower otherwise you may slip and fall. This hotel would be just ok if it were not so expensive. For the price I paid (well over $350), I w expected a much better room. I didn't eat the free breakfast, but my wife and daughter said it was very good. Breakfast included scrambled eggs, sausage, home fries, pancakes and assorted breads and pastries. I will not say here again, not worth the price.

We had some ants in our shower, and despite my attempts to wash them away, they kept returning. Additionally, when we checked in, we found that the door handle in our room was not working, so we had to switch to another room. Unfortunately, there were no Ubers available in the area, but the hotel staff kindly called us a cab. As a result, we were late for the wedding we were attending. I have video footage of the ants in our room if it is required for reference. Despite these issues, the hotel itself is nice, It was just unfortunate that our stay was marred by these problems, especially since we had travelled so far and were still late due to the door situation. and luckily we did not bring our baby because then that would have been even worse with the ant infestation.

If you're looking for a dirty, smelly hotel room this is the place for you! We walked into our room and were immediately greeted with musty air, dirty carpets, stains all over the floor, yellow curtains that were once white, and hair in the bathroom… ew! Wish I could attach pics to this to show you but I can’t :( Expedia tried to get a refund for this disastrous stay and the hotel refused/was not accommodating at all. I'd rate it a 0/5 if I could! Please avoid this place at all costs, I DO NOT recommend at all!

Another hotel opting for individual room heater/ac units with loud compressors that burst on all too frequently through the night, robbing the occupants of any chance at unbroken sleep. Also, bedding was half-size duvets, no sheet and blanket option. Hate that! Breakfast was OK-ish.

When we first checked in, we were given a room on the first floor. It was dark, dingy and smelled like stale smoke from the 80s. When I asked to switch rooms I was told there were no other rooms available and was offered air freshner. When I tried to cancel, they offered me a "suite" which was just a basic room. Unless you're looking for very cheap basic accomodation, I would not stay here.

First, this property is not located 5 km from the conservation area, but 10 km. I booked through Expedia for two adults and two kids (11 and 12 years old). Upon arrival, there was only one king bed. The reception said there was no information about the kids in the reservation, and I had to pay $20 extra to have the kids. They brought a bed for my son, and the next morning, when I showed the booking confirmation for 4 people, they said I should have used the sofa bed and assembled it myself and that I was going to be charged for the extra bed, which I did not ask for. The reception and manager were rude and defensive, refusing to take responsibility. They only waived the $20 fee after a long discussion. Additionally, the shower\'s hot water faucet was twisted, preventing the hot water from turning on. The receptionist couldn\'t identify the problem, which was just a misplaced blue/red dot. They offered to move me to a room next to the reception which was very noisy. Fortunately, I figured out the faucet issue myself and stayed in my room. They never apologized for any of the inconvenience and blamed on me for "creating a problem where there wasn\'t".

Stayed one night for business it's a basic Hotel nothing special but clean and bed was comfortable. However I worked overnight and checked into the hotel at 7:30 a.m. I just wanted to sleep for a few hours before I had to check out at 11:00 a.m. the two ladies at the front desk clearly didn't know what they were doing. they had me waiting there for almost 8 minutes trying to check me in something that should have been 2 minutes. They scanned my driver's license and kept telling me to put in my account number for my credit card for the incidenta. I said no you mean my PIN number she says no your account number it almost felt like a scam. I would stay there again but Best Western needs to train their staff and not have someone not capable of operating the front desk.

We tried to book the hotel in Elora but they were full so we picked Fergus since it's only 15 mins drive to get to Elora. The hotel looks old in the exterior but looks pretty new in the interior including the room. Everything looks good, except the bathtub needs more attention.
