This place is not 5 star hotel.. but it is actually kinda neat.. I was treated well and had no issues with my room. It is located near an amazing park and beach, also close to the Bluewater Bridge and Casino!! It is true, you may meet some “interesting” people around the place and also I noticed some of the tenants were possibly trades people working in the area. I definitely locked my door at night and when i left same as I would do anywhere!!

Apparently this place has become a part of local history.. built in the 1960’s and yes!! the exterior and interior decor shows it still!!!! It is a reasonable price and I would definitely go back!!!!

Neat place!!

This motel is not what it’s advertised as. It’s used primarily as local emergency temporary housing for numerous reasons. As a local I’ve never actually stayed here but do know that it’s incredibly run down, every aspect imaginable has major major issues and is not safe in any and all aspects. There are many great hotels and motels to stay in or vacation while visiting Sarnia and surrounding areas BUT this is NOT one of the them.

Please never stay here

We stayed at this motel for 3 days and it was terrible. The room was not cleaned once in those 3 days and we had to BEG and wait forever for towels. At one point we used a sheet after waiting THREE HOURS FOR TOWELS and were threatened with a fine and charged the full security deposit. The blankets smelled ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTING (CLEARLY NOT WASHED) and the "white" sheets were yellow. The cleaner, who came into our room but DID NOT EVEN BOTHER TO CLEAN THE ROOM, instead all he did is kept our food/pop and clothing (everything we brought, including dirty, used toothbrushes) and told me a sob story about how it was for his children and offered to give me 'tons' of women's clothing for free. When I explained that I wanted the pizza back and that the pop had already been open and drank from, he told me that he would replace everything and even offered me new clothing (I never received any of this back, even after speaking to the "owner"/"manager"). I could hear the janitor upstairs just screaming, cursing, and swearing at his kids and wife/girlfriend (over and over and over calling her derogatory names threatening her with violence). He has keys to every room, which terrified me as you could tell plain as day that he was a junkie even though the concierge accused US of being junkies (we do NOT look nor act like junkies). We were kept up all night with constant screams of the janitors wife being hurt and/or being called all sorts of names in front of their young children. When I asked the cleaner (Chris William) for my property and food/drinks back he promised he would go get them right away, but not before trying to make me feel guilty for taking away his kids' (only food/drinks). I told him I had cold sores and yet still, he allowed them the pop. He DID return HALF THE PIZZA after I spoke to the owner (who told me it was up to 'Chris' got to decide whether to return my property, which is when I was given half the pizza (the pepperoni was picked off, so obviously the food was touched by children. I NEVER received EITHER of the two pops nor the chocolate milk back, and a lot of clothing of both mine and my boyfriend's was missing. I went back and told the owner I wanted the police called at which point he kept my money, buddy kept all my property, I was out the deposit, and had to even pay a fine for using a sheet for a towel because they would not give us more for a 3 day-stay. I tried returning once more almost a year later in hopes it was a one-off, but the same concierge told me that they didn't have any confirmation that I booked a room, despite me supplying the confirmation number, PIN AND SCREEN SHOT from my bank saying when I paid and what I paid to them for the room. He went back to talk to the "owner" (his name tag called HIMSELF the owner) and after 45 mins came back to say that the payment was declined. I again showed the proof, so he disappeared again for another half hour and came back and said that it was processed too late in the day, so we again showed the proof with confirmation and asked why I was charged then if that were the case. FINALLY, after a THIRD TIME of "speaking to the owner" *cough cough* he told me I would be refunded but must do so through booking.com (he did not have a number to supply me with or any email/mailing address to write to, so I had to do the research myself) and FINALLY ADMITTED that it was NOT because of a "late payment", it was due to the dispute with the janitor and using the dirty sheet ro dry (even though we had asked for fresh towels three times in the three hours we waited)

TERRIBLE, LYING OWNERS/WORKERS TRIED KEEPING MONEY EVEN THOUGH REFUSING US

We booked this motel for 4 nights. We spent only 1 night and rushed out in the morning.  There were stains all over floor, furniture, door, walls.  The towels were washed but all stained.  Looks like crime scene.  Brr... Good thing is they refunded the other 3-night payment.

Disgusting!

People stopped caring. It's a awful shame. It's an only if you have to kind of a place to stay. The reviews and pictures all speak for themself. It's up to.you but not a clean place to sleep. I would really like to see this place put some love and work in to it. Give it a turn around. Invest some money to make it accommodating.

Awful

I stayed at Chipican motel for over 6 months and I enjoyed it every single day I stayed there nice area big open parking spot with a gazibo and place to BBQ. Its sad to see that people only looks at odd sides of it as we all know you get what you pay can't find anything cheaper then this place. All the rooms are equipped with Microwave, Refrigerator, TV, Air conditioning/Heater, Free Wi-Fi they also have laundry room but not sure if the customers who stay on short term are allowed to use it room cleaning is done on daily bases some filthy people make their own mess and blame it on the motel not fair I have witnessed the owner take it very serious when it comes to providing good service to customers I have seen in one of the comments someone mentioned that bathroom has only 2 towels yes that's true but they can always provide you additional towels and soaps if you needed it there's a room service number you can call and someone will deliver it your door. Don't expect the rooms to be luxurious like 7-star hotels we first need to realize what we are paying and again very good deal for the money we are paying to stay there, very close to Bluewater bridge, Canatara park and not far at all from downtown. And above all owner is super friendly, highly recommended.

A nice place to stay for cheap

OK, in all fairness this hotel is in a great part of the city, near parks and the bridge for chips and ice cream, and bloody cheap. I stayed here last summer for 4 nights to reminiss about my stay back in 1964, when my parents moved from England and ended up here for a few weeks. BUT, now the rooms are a mess, appear to have never been vacummed since the 70's, and my fridge was something out of Animal House, held together with wire. I would not sit in the chairs as they were covered in dust and dirt, and yes every corner had cob webs and dirt. The place is safe, I parked my 2016 Dodge SRT   in the lot with no issues. Staff seem friendly enough. What is needed is a proper cleaning. I have stayed in similar hotels in Quebec, at Motel Levis, which is has small and dated rooms, but is very clean. Chipican Motel needs a proper cleaning.
