What guests think

Across recent reviews, Pinewood Motor Inn is mid-renovation: many guests praise the newly updated, spacious rooms and friendly staff, while the exterior and some older areas look tired, and construction activity can affect access, appearance, and occasional noise.

Cleanliness feedback is mixed: plenty of comments call rooms very clean, but recurring notes mention dingy towels, missed bathroom details, musty smells, and occasional bugs. The on-site restaurant earns strong reviews for quality and value, though hours are limited and breakfast is sometimes unavailable. Other drawbacks include inconsistent room finishing or amenities, varying bed and pillow comfort, limited after-hours responsiveness, and no elevator. Expect comfortable renovated rooms amid ongoing upgrades and some trade-offs.

Plenty of parking spaces & roomy spots. Rm 202 had an indoor & outdoor entrance both unlocked with room card. Room has been renovated. Laminate floors, nice w.r. with bright lights. Green friendly toiletries & nice selection of coffee/tea. Couldn't locate their restaurant's menu. Ordered from across street instead. Building itself is dated.

The property was not the most inviting upon arrival due to renovations taking place which we were not aware of upon booking. We stayed in a newly renovated room which was very nice. Did not experience noise from renovations. We ate dinner in the onsite restaurant which was good, however not open in the morning for breakfast

The room was recently renovated, it was clean and neat. There was a puddle of water near the window in the morning after it had rained all night. Due to the renovations, there was a worker working until 8 pm on Saturday night and started up again at 7:30 on Sunday morning right outside our door. It was quite loud with lots of banging and clanging. The inner hallways were closed off, so we had to access our room from the outside. Understandable during renovations, but maybe close it down until they’re finished? Or don’t start working until check out time at 11 am. We have stayed here frequently and the renovations are great, it was just unfortunate that this happened this time.

I did like the new room, however the toilet had dry feces in it. We also had ear wigs. Brand new room. The rest of hotel is so outdated. No staff on after 10 at night. The pillow cases were almost light brown in color. They need to brighten them. Towels and cloths too,. We would stay again but hope it is fixed up by then.

Room smelled like musty carpet. Housekeeping did a poor job cleaning. There were bugs all over the place. When I asked for them to give me a bit of money off in the morning because of all of the bugs in the room, the gentleman at the front desk informed me the owner said he would call me later in the evening. I never received a call. I will certainly never stay here again.

Room was great, quite large. Room had a queen bed, couch, coffe table, dresser, desk with chair, plus a small table and 2 chairs. It also had a large bathroom. I ate a great meal at the attached restaurant. The reason for the 3 star rating is the completely worn out mattress. The bed was close to a wall so anyone sleeping alone would naturally get into bed on the other side where there was more room. The mattess had such a permanent sagging dent on that side of the bed that it was impossible to be comfortable in the bed. The other less used half of the mattress was comfortable enough but i felt like I was rolling down hill all night as the sagging was so bad on the other half of the bed. I certainly hope management actually reads this review and spends a few dollars on new matrresses when needed. Please start with room 21.

Nice newly renovated room , spaceous and clean. Only complaint is no kleenix box and the toilet paper holder is installed upside down so it is constantly falling on the floor - did the installer not give it any thought, the roll hangs down therefor the stopper should be on the top not the bottom and the roll is angled down so it falls every time it is even touched! It did take a ery long time to check in, perhaps a new person.

The property is under renovation and we were put in the reovated rooms that are very nice and new with newer beds. On our visit unfortunately the TV did not work at all and while in the shower, discovered that both the shampoo and soap dispensers were empty! Due to the late hour of arrival at 10pmand the closed up front ot the hotel we did not see any point in calling the front desk to try to get anything.The next morning the young lady said we should have called as personnel were on site. (There is no way we would have known this and anyway the chances of getting the TV fixed were likely nil at that hour. The point is, this stuff should have been checked. And if you are going to upgrade the hotel and beds, please upgrade the linens and towels.

I was not allowed to check in with my service dog, yet charged for a stay. A clerk at the reception seemed confused, ‘disappeared’ behind the reception desk to speak with an unseen manager only to return to blankly stare at me. I showed her my service dog letter, she read it, and stared at me. So I left. No reply from the hotel when I messaged them. I think the reception staff do not have clear direction. The whole experience was confusing, at best.

We were locked out of our room 5 min after check in while unloading at 10 pm . Our 2 dogs were in the room. The front desk closed down and no one was available. Called the after hours number multiple times (10 +) and left multiple messages. Banged on the front door. Called the security number and they didnt have an emergency number. After 30 min I called the police. After 35 min, someone came out and finally let us into the room. This is extremely dangerous and irresponsible. What if an infant was in the room? A medical emergency? A fire? Our whole evening and night were destroyed. I asked for the manager to call me, and 48 hours later I have not received a call. Automatic locking doors and electronic cards do not belong in a small town motel. There needs to be emergency numbers that are answered.

We were pleasantly surprised when we arrived at the property. From the photos online, we were expecting much less than what was actually offered. Although dated, it was clean, comfortable and maintained very well. It had everything we needed, ie mini fridge, microwave, coffee maker, hair dryer, ice machine, comfortable bed, etc. The major bonus was having a restaurant on the property. The food was SPECTACULAR! My husband had bbq prime ribs and I had Roasted Beet and Chicken Salad, which was the best salad I\'ve every had! My husband felt the same about his ribs! A special shout out to our server "Ria" who made our experience very enjoyable. A lovely, happy, energetic personality which was made for a very nice evening out.
