Borden Inn and Suites

They gave us the cheapest room initially which was not shovelled and the parking was not near like the other half of the building. The sign also said it was a smoking room and it stunk of cigarette smoke. We asked for another room because it smelt like smoke and they said they are all non smoking rooms but gave us another room anyways. It was affordable and did the job though. The shower was also hard to work. You really had to pull on the shower valve for the water to fully go to the shower head and it took about 10 minutes for the water to heat up.

One lock on the door to the room i got was fake and the other, the deadbolt, was broken off. The only way i could secure my room was to barricade the door with chairs. On top of that, the hair dryer was also broken, and the window to the room was open a crack. Its a ground floor room, so that made me extremely uncomfortably. On top of that, the person at the check in desk was not very pleasant, so i didnt even feel comfortable asking for a new room. If i didnt need to stay here tonight, i wouldnt have.

Pet friendly. Quiet room. Fridge, microwave, full bathroom. Friendly staff on late check in with no issues. Would stay again. Would recommend.

No coffee. Poor upkeep. Stuffy. Poor shower. Poor parking. Not overly welcoming. Noisy. This was overpriced for what I received.

Easily accessible, friendly staff. Cleanliness is well below average and other amenities are as well (shower, soundproofing, etc).

Second door lock was broken. Otherwise, a good, basic room. Very helpful late night check-in.

I thought it was great for the price. Let us check in later in the day

The room was clean but it smelled like cigarette smoke. I thought the room was designated as non smoking.

How this property has the rating it has baffles me. My tip for staying at this property? DON’T! The first room they offered us - an upgrade apparently - stunk of cigarettes, film on the windows, full garbage cans from previous occupants and a tiny bed. The second room, on the surface looked ok, but upon going deeper it was actually a mess. Housekeeping is non existent. The water is brown, the toilet leaked at its base, AC wouldn’t turn off and had bare wires sticking out. We stayed our full eight nights because I really couldn’t afford to lose the money paid and then have to pay for a new hotel. In those eight nights the room was sort of cleaned once. The bed was made twice, and we only got fresh towels by going down and getting them ourselves. I’ve spent most of my working life sleeping away from home, so lots and lots of hotel/motels. This one is in the bottom three or four. I can’t emphasize enough what a disaster this property is.
