I will never promote either this business, or Booking.com
1.0

Disliked · After this motel photo copied my drivers licence, I questioned why they needed it. I paid for the room, and was told it was for damage control of the room. They had several copied IDs thumb tacked to a cork board of other paying customers, and showed me a fist full of copied customer ID's from under the counter. When I stated I did not want them to have a copy of my ID in their posession, and after retrieving the manager, I was asked to leave. I was told by the manager/owner that my money would not be refunded, referring me to deal with Booking.com. Booking.com stated that this motel did not have it in their policy that photocopying ID was required, only customer producing ID. Booking.com contacted "Mike" for the 3rd time to solve this issue, and because the motel's website did not state photocopying ID was a requirement, was told I would receive a refund. Booking.com assured me they would refund my money if the motel did not come through. He didn't, and neither did they. One month later, Booking.com has not backed me, and the motel will not refund my money, stating I would not allow them to photocopy my ID.
If you stay here, know that your ID may be up on the wall for all to see, and not secured in a safe location. Beware of potential identity theft at it's easiest.
I will not be using Booking.com again, and would never recommend this motel to anyone. I am forced to give them a star to complete this review. My choice would be negative or no star.

I would never recommend this place to stay, or Booking.com

Most disgusting place I’ve ever stayed and I’m not picky. Management seemed nice at first. There we’re holes on the door and a toddler repair patch  job … fine… there was also such an awful stench of body door in our sheets, a plethora of flys, sticky goo on our head boards… the list goes on. 
I asked for a refund after being there for 2 hours and was told that I should have been wearing my glasses. I recorded the conversation between myself and the horrible human that thinks he’s running a hotel.

Gross

I stayed at the Diamond Motel a month ago.  They told me they would take a $100 deposit and the $77 charge but the deposit would be refunded.  It didn’t seem right and it felt like a scam.  I was repeatedly told that I would not be charged the $100.  The problems is that you don’t know that they charged you $177. Instead of $77 until you get your statement.  How many people don’t closely check there statements.  I don’t know but it’s a gravy train for them every time someone doesn’t.  

If you stay there check your credit card statement.

Over charged. Check your credit card statement

We spent a night at the Diamond Motor Inn in August. Everything was ready by 2 pm
Management had a map of the area which was helpful. A kick-off breakfast gets you off to a good start the next morning. Rugs needed to be shampooed.

Totally adequate accommodation at a decent price

I stayed there while attending Georgian College.  it was clean and cheap.  Breakfast was adequate, I didn't expect anything special considering the price.  I was charged a 100$ deposit which they said would be refunded once tha stay was over but it never was, beware of this because there would be no reason to keep it!!! I didn't inquire about it and I guess that's what they do.

good for the price, charged me a deposit but never returned it

In a quiet area, felt safe, close driving distance to town restaurants, stores, etc.  Vey nice, friendly, helpful, accomodating staff.  A two bed room with small old kitchenette (fridge, microwave, some dishes).  Carpeting looked new, bathroom sink looked new  Room was clean, but room overall looked tired.  Some rooms had bistro table and chairs to sit outside.  Could hear the people in the next room talking, so turned on the fan to drown them out, but the fan air smelled bad.

Basic Hotel close to town center

We were pleasantly surprised by the Diamond Motor Inn at Owen Sound. We arrived late at night as we were coming from Manitoulin Island on the ferry that arrived at 11:45PM. When you arrive late at night, there is a phone to dial the owners - she came out and was pleasant. 

The room itself was dated (felt like I had stepped back into 1970), but it was clean even though it had some wear and tear. The best part was that the room had a small kitchenette with plates. We found everything to be very comfortable, and clean. 

On checkout the next morning, the owner was very pleasant and asked where we were going. I would stay here again when passing through Owen Sound. :)

Night Stay at Owen Sound

This motel is not a ritzy place. It provides you a clean room, bed, bathroom and continental breakfast. all for a much lower price then other chain places just up the street. Sure the room I had was small so what i was alone. Sure they bathroom needed a fix up. Kind of hard to do when you are fully booked. As it was both nights I stayed. Located 5 mins drive into town. They even allow pets. I highly recommend this motel.

A place to sleep

Our stay was terrible we were only there for half an hour and they kicked us out because we had visitors after they said it was ok for us to have visitors and after kicking us out they refused to give us our full deposit back

Bad night

This is a basic motel but the rooms do have a fridge and kitchen sink,microwave.  What I did miss was a hair blower.  The breakfast is continental...nothing special but adequate.  The rug seemed damp as if just sprayed with cleaner.  I stayed two nights to visit friends and it is close enough to downtown but also close to Harrison park, for kids and adults both, as well as inglis falls.
