Stayed Saturday night 27 May 2012 We were stopping in for the night and oh my.... I walked up the stairs to second flight and the rug was coming away from the concrete stairs leaving a tripping hazard going up the stairs. We walked into the room after an exhausting day drive and the carpet was very dirty. There were... More

This place has the potential to be a great motel, would I go back? No, unless they remodel completely. Great location and friendly check in people. Breakfast is a joke, don't bother, it was a muffin and a juice box. However, there an ihop across the street - yum! The rooms - eugh! The bathroom and the kitchen were very... More

Upon checking in we were greeted by unprofessional staff who seemed to be more concerned about telling us about the damage deposit several times over. Pulling up to the room we greeted by our front door that was splatted by some gross looking substance which was very unappealing. Room was very old looking with mis-matched furniture from some 70's flea... More

I booked without seeing. This is definitely an old place, with old furniture, old plumbing, old everything; noisy. There seem to be some permanent residents in some rooms that one would describe as "characters" - I emptied my car out completely and repacked the next day. The room itself wasn't clean. The maid is apparently unfamiliar with cleaning under the... More

With the bad weather on the connector I tried to cancel my reservation with this hotel. After over an hour of frustration and hangups, I am unable to get through to anyone who is willing to help. They transfer to a cancellation number that is NEVER answered. All they want is your money, they charge your card and won't even... More

Am sorry we did not check with T.A. before we checked in. Place was almost empty and can see why. We had upstairs room /carpet needs replacing on landings as it is filthy and stained Once in room, one has to ask if the room had been made up without changing the bedding. A white sheet/duvet cover was so wrinkled... More

Hello Lovemydogz 3, I was very sorry to read that your stay with us was not satisfactory. If you had checked with trip advisor you would have seen a great increase in positive reviews in the last year. Things are changing and getting better at the Recreation Inn & Suites. Many of our rooms have been or are being renovated.... More

Got sent to stay here after the sister property "The Dillworth Inn" discovered they over booked our room. We were upgraded to the "Executive Suite". Too bad there was just 2 of us and not the whole family as the suite was huge. Full Kitchen, dining room, huge living room and 3 bedrooms with enough room to sleep 6 easy.... More

Stayed 2 nights during business trip - Sept. 17, 18, 19 2011. Slept very well on the comfortable bed-no sounds of neighbours up or beside, or from parking outside-walls quite soundproof. Room had been recently redone with new carpets, paint, tile, bed linens. The swimming pool was alright, the dry cedar sauna very good. Microwave and fridge, coffee maker were... More

Yes, it's a bit run-down (from the outside) but it met our needs. We had enough beds for 5 people, it was clean and quiet. I liked that it had laundry facilities, and was close to amenities. There is a rec place next door if you wanted an indoor pool. Yes, you have to pay but I'm glad for that... More
