Niagara Falls

It took me a while to write this review as I wanted to push the memory of this place out of my mind. My wife and I, in our bid to stay on a budget, booked this motel without properly researching it. 
We arrived and it was pretty shabby. Okay, I can handle a little shabby. We weren't exactly looking for luxurious. We entered the room and were met with horror. There were stains on the wall, spills on the counter, the microwave was absolutely filthy--it had ketchup on top of it. I knew if they didn't even bother to clean the room, I should check the bed. 
I look along the sheets and I see bedbug droppings. It was quite obvious they didn't even change the sheets--they merely straightened them. In the center area under the mattress, I discovered the thriving hive of fat bedbugs!
I went to the front desk and told the clerk. He asked that I show him, so I led him back and allowed him to inspect. His response, "Oohhh, I'm sorry."
We go back to the front and he offered a different room. I requested a refund as I was not planning to risk an infestation of my luggage. He said I would only get 60%(If I recall correctly) back. It took two weeks for the refund to clear. Do Not Go Here. It's not worth it.

Lovely place if you love bedbugs.

Probably the worst place I've spent the night in. A tent in a camping would have been a better option, if it wasn't for the weather. The place is dirty, old, shabby and...yes, disgusting is the word. Moreover I was charged in my credit card a higher amount than what was returned in the end to me (and it's nothing like they took the deposit, not at all. It was simply a trick). It was even hard to communicate with the owner and he was rude in his manners.
Of course, what can you expect from a motel. Awful.
Not recommended at all unless your budget doesn't allow you to spend more. In that case...well, still not recommended. 1/5 is way too high, it should be 0/5.

Simply awful

Upon checking out, I spoke directly with the owner. he stood there sleepy-eyed, hair askance, and mumbled nothings. he simply didn't care that:
1) 3 of the 6 ligh bulbs in the room were burned out. The room is very dim.
2) The room smells of must and old usage. It stinks. the shower curtain stinks. The bathroom is dirty.
3) No exterior lights at night. Not safe, not pleasant.
4) the curtains are plae yellow, don't block out the light, and so at night the changing Boston Pizza sign next door alternatelyilluminates and darkens your room....if you like disco 24/7, this is your room!
5) The bed is cheap, the towels are thin and inadequate. 
6) No cable TV. We counted about 12 stations, and you have to manually punch them into the controller. You cannot surf these TV's, and these TVs have no brackets to prop them up...alll the TVs are simply leaning backwards against the old splintered TV cabinets. 
7) The condition of the bathroom is evident in the pictures we took.

On top of everything else, it took ten minutes for the teenager in pajamas to find someone to check us in. He ambled by eating popcorn. By chance. If sloth is a sin (and we LOVE sin) we love sloth less now. It felt like we'd walked into someone's living room. 

The room keys are on good ol fashioned keychains...which do NOT HAVE THE ROOM NUMBER PRINTED OR STAMOPED ON THEM! Brilliant in our opinion, to the point of imbecility.

Yes, i spoke to the young man who is the owner in the moring. He gave not a whiff. I wasn't going to pry a single dollar in the way of refund from his greedy hands. he didn't care about Trip Advisor, booking dot com or any other peer reviews. He's running a slummy place.....very few people were there, but some are permanent residents, and not the likes of which you wish to be neighbours with, even briefly. In the morning there was a disopute between a guy on a bicycle visiting one of these tennants, it was voluble, and neither appeared washed or sober. 

If the stay wasn't so fantastically terrible I'd be appalled, but i am not: I am still in shock. If you too want electrocution, stay here.

No TV. No love from owner. No light bulbs. Lots of smells.

I got to this hotel the bathroom wasn't even clean it had to come and clean everything and then he didn't even clean the shower he had a big dead mosquito on the floor he had holes everywhere and what about the smell of the room it was disgusting

His disgust

The room was absolutely filthy!  Microwave was dirty and someones fake fingernail laying in front of it. Air conditioner had a ton of filth and dust all over the front of it. Bath fan was noisy and had a towel between the fan and the ceiling for some reason. Bunk bed was a hazard and about to collapse. Dead bolt was missing and door lock didn't work too well. Paint falling off ceiling everywhere. Mattresses and blankets suck!  Some pretty sketchy people hanging around outside. Do yourself a favor and keep looking.  I thought for sure there would be bedbugs but didn't find any thank god.

Not even a good deal for the cost!

For the price I didn't expect a castle but still a little safer. First of all, the staff looks stupid. No way. When I got to my room, there was a dead mosquito crushed on the wall, a dried-up blood patch in the middle of the sheet, the air conditioning was full of dust, the bathroom door in a pathetic state, as if someone had tried to defrost it. The only positive thing is the king bed feels comfortable and comfortable. The pool dug is also clean. During our short stay, three police cars came to visit, it looked shady... If you don't want to pay enough and sleep and you can only be clean and you can't be disrespectful, you can only be clean!

It's cheap and it's not worth it!!

The counter, the bathroom, the mirror,... hadn't been cleaned in a while! The disgusting carpet and the bed skirt that has unidentifiable stains... a big millipede killed by my chum, that 2 towels without deodorants and hand towels. The fridge with dried liquor stains on the tablets, the bathroom lid has a rusty mega chain,... in the parking lot someone tried to steal our wipes, it broke our paint of this new car!

DEGUEULASS!!! to be avoided!!!

The room was dirty, there was foreign hair everywhere, the toilet laundry did not work properly (which probably explains the brake tracks of the previous one) and the bedding was stained! I really can't recommend anyone staying here.

It's awful!

It's not the place to stay at all. Room is very dirty and smelly. Refrigerator is dirty and moldy. Promised TV doesn't exist. Furniture is broken. Whole place needs big reconstruction or better use bulldozer and start fresh.

This place needs to be closed immediately !

When we arrived, we were already very surprised to see that the front of the motel didn't match the photos on the internet...The photos are actually those of the hotel across the street..We took the keys and went up to the room, and just when we opened, there was a nasty smell, then the sink directly into the room near the microwave with the wires hanging so very dangerous...The filthy toilets, the sheets full of pubic hair, the dry cleaners..We had to go right away and look for another hotel..We didn't even sleep in a hotel...I don't understand why the hygienists can't go through...How can this be???
