We booked this motel in August witha 500 dollar deposit as we had been told the rooms for long stay book quickley,We were looking for a house but none had came our way that we liked .When we were shown the room it had very nice bedding and looked great and was very attractive,we were told we had to bring our own linens and dishes for long term stay and that i would do all the cleaning of the room.The room was to be 1200 a month,and we could move in after October 15th .Between Booking the room and October 7th we found a house and my hubby returned to see the owner for our deposit back or some of it as 500 dollars is alot of money.The owner told him there would be NO MONEY BACK,even with the 9 days notice ,we contacted other motels between here and Smith Falls and everyone said all money would be returned with that much notice or a small fee if the notice was less then 72 hours,My hubby and the owner agreed on ,,,we would take the room for 8 nights and thats all he would do for us but no money back,On the day of arrival my hubby was told by the new manager that we had already checked in to the room,,ummmmm no we didnt,,so when hubby and the owner went to the room there was a man on the bed who had been let in our room,,still no money back,,we continued to stay at our home but checked in daily to the room and when we did we found ,,a rusted old toaster,,,a hot plate that was so old and rusted it was a fire hazard,dirt on the baseboards, i tried cleaning the tub but there was no help for it,the old curtains and bedding was disgusting,On wednesday my friend was with me to check it out again and for witness to this and when we pulled in the door was open so i assumed the maid was in there,much to my surprise there stood a man who had lights ripped off,,puddy on the wall of the bathroom,tools everywere and he asked what i was doing there and i told him it was my room till the 24th,he told me he was told to go ahead and work that it was not rented,so off to the office my friend and i went and had a discussion with the new manager who had started there on the sunday and was already planning to quit,he told us,,,the owner was away and i told him my hubby would be back later that day,,hubby and his friend did go back and spoke to the owner and asked for even half our money back and the owner still wouldnt give any,,this man has an answer for everything,even the mold in the shower tiles and about the toaster ,he said he would have gave me a new one and that the room was clean,,THIS MAN DOES NOT CARE ABOUT THE CUSTOMER , HE ONLY THINKS OF HIS MONEY,I would never recommend this place to anyone,I now will be taking this to the media,with hopes no one else gets ripped off by him,Its not clean and has had a cover up reno done,This room looked nothing like the day we were shown it in August,,everything had been changed and to offer someone a toaster that looks like this one did is not good,and the hotplate a fire hazard,,IMAGINE
