Requested/Needed Nonsmoking room due to allergies and asthma. Saw it advertised as such, reassured there'd be penalties if WE failed to keep the room smoke free.
Room advertises full fridges, kitchenettes, onsite housekeeping, A/C, WiFi, park, pub, pool, and free parking.

Our room has nicotine stains everywhere, smells like body odours, holes in the wall, and years of filth.
Since it's the only room not holding longterm (2-10yrs), tenants, room switching won't be possible. 
We paid for a month since the owner would not accept less, and required cash only (despite website claims).

There is no pub.

There is no housekeeping so prepare to clean the place yourself. Bedding too, buy a cover and a sleeping bag these ones are stained, smelly, and covered in hair amd holes.

Our microwave and kettle were filthy, 50-30 years old, and broken. We reported it but bought our own rather than wait for repairs.

Our heat smelled of burning wires, then made noises and began to smoke so we reported that also but got no offer to replace it so we bought an oil heater.

Our power went out constantly because we keep forgetting that you can only have one electronic going at a time. That would be fine if there was someone onsite to reset the breaker but we end up waiting sometimes hours to finish cooking and go without power.

A few days in and the other tenants are proving to be the worst part of our stay. Drugs, violent threats, child abuse, noise pollution, drug pollution come in your window and around the A/C unit filling our unit. We are able to put headphones on 27/7 to mask SOME of the violent noises and abuses night and day but there is NO escape from the drug and vape smoke. 

Because of this you cannot ever open a window, and forget about the moldy A/C (which is also the heater) so the unit is likely to catch fire if on too long. The owner did come in with a dirty dust broom to "fix" the A/C but yea, not so much.

Light bulbs; very dim yellow bulbs but still you can't open the ancient dirty curtains (held up by shower curtain rings) or the other tenants will stare in while they have drug sessions in front and shout obscenities at you (or threats if you are a man). You can't recruit any help from anyone since everyone is all long time friends and family and will do anything to drive you out early. Ad an outsider YOU ARE NOT WELCOME.

The pool is out of commission, the whole place seems to be rotting, and the police will be there constantly.
Positives? 

Wifi is okay, fridge is large, parking is free. There is a yard area if you don't mind verbal/sexual abuse, and threats.
There are no cockroaches or bedbugs. Plenty of fleas and ants though.

You will have to fight for your deposit so take a tonne of pictures or video to make your case. Refunds will NOT be offered even if police mediate, validating your right to safety if you want to leave early (you WILL need to leave early).

We are presently being pressured out by threat of our lives without refund. If it wasn't May long weekend we'd have left days ago (there is no vacancy anywhere in the region).

We are now convinced that these people are scammers who aim to charge for a whole month plus deposit then work with the permanent residence to drive you out without refund so they can rerent it to the next sucker.

Be Very Aware and if you have NOWHERE else to go, RECORD EVERYTHING! Especially when complaining as the owner will come in hot, pounding and yelling at your door.

Scammer Motel From Hell

Decided to take a weekend away with friends for a mini getaway. Needed two rooms. Hotel was very accommodating. Asked for two rooms close to each other. Rooms well kept and maintained. Staff very polite. Would recommend hotel. Will be back again. Thanks for the fun weekend away. Very affordable

Friends Retreat

What a great stay.  Staff were very pleasant and helpful.  Older hotel but well maintained and clean.  Close to amnesties.  Would definately stay again.  Thank you so much for the wonderful stay Niagara Motor Hotel.

Weekend away

The hotel is aged. Myriad of spiders above the entrance doors at the evening, spooky. On positive side - everything in room is operational and location is convenient, close to Marineland and the falls. Adding one star because staff was kind to wait for us and checked in after hours.

Decent for overnight stay

Awful, the rooms were filthy, during my stay so far the room has not been cleaned nor the beds made. Reception is hardly open. Apparently my room only has 1 Key so my room cannot be serviced. Plaster is hanging off the ceiling. damp patches on ceiling. walls filthy and scuffed. Coffee maker next to to toilet within bathroom, hardly health and safe compliant or hygenic. Complete lack of assistance from staff. If you prepay your bill I would advise you to check it carefully as I was way overcharged and had to wait for it to be refunded. No pool available. My advice is to avoid this place at all costs. The pictures shown by the management do not represent the cleanliness hygiene nor actual condition of this so called motel 

Bates motel

If you know what you're getting, this can be a great place to stay. Very clean (inside the room - the outside premises could have been a bit cleaner), nice people (although not as readily available as I would like), and a decent location just a few miles away from the falls and "downtown." I would stay here again.

Small and outdated, but clean and a very good value

The hotel was run down - cracked cement stairs to balcony, old carpet & quilts, some of the light fixtures didn't work.  The bathroom had been redone, but the grout was applied shoddily and the shower head was just hanging.  There is no longer any restaurant attached to the motel, although they gave us 2 apples and 2 bananas when we checked in.  The bedding was clean and the air conditioner worked.  There was only a teenage boy available at the desk for the entire 5 days we were there.  He was very nice, but shouldn't be in charge for days on end.  My husband swam in the pool and got wood ticks both times he did so.  I would not recommend this motel.

Not the same place that's been reviewed before!

went there for a night a couple times just to spend a night away with my hunny. Summer and winter. Both times were great! Its clean, I don't get the willies when I touch anything, bathroom especially. Being OCD this can be an issue. Cute decorating. The younger generation may not approve but for the original gen x'ers they would appreciate this nice touch. All linens were clean and fresh, as was the daily fruit. Small fridge with freezer for those leftovers that can be reheated in the microwave. Even around this area there is so much history to explore, check out all the history of Chippawa before you stay here and you may decide to give up a day at the falls to explore right where you are already at, then go for a jump in the creek, or the pool that's provided. You can not beat the price anyplace in the fall and get the courteous service, the cleanliness, the lovely back yard garden with gazebo, swing, and bbq for your use. (again you can save money making your won dinner, of say, um, BBQ Steak at your own hotel, what gets better than that?
You won't be disappointed for the value.
