It was clean, provided all the essentials we needed, It was a reasonable price, staff very nice and helpful.
Can't say there was anything wrong
The staff were very pleasant and accommodating with my late check in
Kinda cold
The room was not very clean but the beds were comfortable. The bathroom is tiny and there is nowhere to put your toiletries

The owner's super friendly..room was clean.
Bathroom a little on the smaller side but very clean
Our room at the Blue Jay Motel was comfortable, clean and very conveniently located to all the places we needed to visit in Peterborough (Trent University, The Canadian Canoe Museum, a restaurant for dinner and a grocery store). Very comfortable linen on the beds, good water pressure in the shower, coffee maker and supplied coffee made a lovely cup of coffee, fridge with little freezer worked well and I appreciated being able to turn the air conditioner on and set it to our perfect room temperature. I liked that we could park our car right outside our room. Despite the motel being right on a busy road, you don't hear the traffic noise when inside your room. It isn't fancy accommodation, but it has everything we needed for a comfortable stay.
The motel reception could be made more attractive and welcoming by removing all the stuff that's being stored in there. It looks messy and lets the rest of the property down. We did however get a very nice welcome by the motel owner/manager.
There was no breakfast included, but we had coffeemaker and milk and cream capsulate in our fridge and also bottles of water. We liked also very clan bedding.
That it was clean and comfortable, staff were very friendly
Honestly nothing
The motel was clean and renovated, with very comfortable beds and pillows. Despite being on the road, there was no noise. The friendliness of the staff was particularly appreciated.
Stayed here two nights with my son and would definitely recommend it. The beds were super comfy and the a/c was cold. The water pressure was great with no shortage of hot water. Yes, it's an older property but the owners keep the grounds and rooms meticulous. This is a family run business who go above and beyond to make sure your stay is as perfect as possible. I took time to chat with a couple of the family members. They are a lovely family who've been in the community for several decades and take pride in their establishment. Thank you for making our trip extra special!
The location is just outside of Peterborough, this helps keeps the price low. The grounds were relaxing and places to sit outside were a bonus. The owner operator of the motel provided cold bottles of water on our arrival, that's a bonus. The rooms also had bottled water, when you stay at a high-end hotel bottled water isn't free. I chatted with the owners, and they are very friendly.
I don't smoke and all the rooms had chairs outside, which is nice, but they have ashtrays since it's a no smoking motel. Smoking outside is great except that your neighbor smokes one door down and you can't use the screen door or open the window for fresh air when people smoke. The hotel is older and met my expectations but the bed for me wasn't the most comfortable.
The staff were very friendly. Room was.clean & comfortable. No noise from neighbors. All around a good stay. Would repeat & did for a second night.
Bit pricey
Good value
The toilet paper ? The owners should buy decent TPIt was the worst !!!No place to plug in.. only a power bar near tv
Moldy smell. Insects on the floor and even under a pillow.
The staff were lovely, couldn’t be more helpful. Gave us lots of bottled water on a hot day. The room was very clean. Felt safe there. Was good for an overnight stay.
I didn’t dislike anything particularly. It is just a very old and tired hotel.
Not much
The owner was very nosy. Toilet was already plugged on my first attempt to use the washroom. He then it instructed me to come get the plunger and plunge the toilet myself. And then tried to withhold my $100 deposit that I was never even informed about
