"Pepper Tree Hotel: Room for Improvement While the hotel shows potential, there's a need for upgrades to truly shine. Friendly staff, but rooms and amenities could use a makeover to match the serene surroundings." It gets the job done if you on a budget, relatively quite. I wouldnt mind staying here again. This place can definitely save you some money, much respect.
We needed a place to stay that was inexpensive. The innkeeper Mick is very friendly and accommodating. I needed a room on first floor he made it happen. The room was clean and cool. There was a small mishap with shower curtain rod, Mick made sure it was taken care of. I'm giving 5 stars because of Mick and his eagerness to please. The place is old and it's not fancy. If you are looking for a place to rest your head I would recommend it.
The Room close to the office has a very clean bathroom and also its beyond clean, I mean clean clean.Never seen any motel as clean as this one. I give it a Dom 5 star review. There is alot of places to see in Ontario which makes this spot a Dom review legit. Thanks Pepper Tree
Very nice place. It's fair. The owners are very nice people. They keep it affordable for those who need it week by week. Rooms are pretty clean. Very nice environment.
I would like to visit it again because the service was so good! The staffs were friendly, room was neat and clean and the beds were comfortable!
Nice hotel with great customer service. The people in the front are always so understanding and thoughtful of my children. They keep the parking lot cleared and they do daily laps around the hotel to make sure everything's okay along with cameras for security. Love this place for a good price and safe place to sleep !
I love the people they are very pleasant and kind. Not cause I work there but truly they are very understanding when it comes to ur financial situation. I love staying here.
I had a wonderful stay at the Paper Tree Motel. The staff was incredibly welcoming and made me feel right at home. The room was clean and comfortable, and the overall ambiance of the motel was charming. I particularly enjoyed the beautiful garden area; it was a peaceful retreat. I would definitely recommend the Paper Tree Motel to anyone visiting the area.
