Davidson Motel

Poor bed linens, space heater needed, base boards not working, over priced, no amenities, inadequate furnishings.

There is not a lot of choice for accommodations in Paris, ON. Our first choice was hosting a wedding and did not have any rooms available. So we booked a room at Davidson's Motel. The staff were polite and responded quickly when we asked for towels and pillows, however, our room was in dire need of some repair and cleaning.

The rooms were clean, bed was comfortable, rooms are too small for a couple, staff was friendly and helpful.

The bed is comfortable. Owners are friendly. The room is ok for a single person but too small for a couple. Price was reasonable.

Certainly not what’s shown in the pics. First look makes you check the sheets. Spread was dirty with cigarette burns. Towels had been washed but were grey and 50 years old. No coffee pot. Room was the size of a shoe box literally. Window was dirty. Toilet was for kindergarten kids. On the positive side the air conditioner worked well. Frig was clean and worked.

The manager of the motel was there upon arrival. We asked if we could switch our room to two beds. He said yes but would charge us $20 more. I asked to see the room first. He showed us the room and it was not fit to stay in. Very old and smelly. I told him we could not stay and asked if my card had been charged. He said no it had not and that it was okay if we could not stay. Three hours after we left and had got another hotel, he charged my card for the room. When I called him about it said he had to because ******* was going to charge him. This man lied to us and charged us for a room that was not fit to stay in. I would not recommend this Motel to anyone.

Liked that it was close to highway and affordable. Rooms really need an upgrade. Bathroom not very pleasant to look at. Chair in sitting area was really stained, didn't want to sit down in it.

Although the website clearly states that there is air conditioning....they take them out for the winter. This is perfectly understandable, but I stayed two nights near the end of May. The daytime temperatures were over 25C. I asked about it the second morning and was told that they would install one for me. I arrived back to my room at 1:30am. It was too hot to sleep and although I was very uncomfortable having to keep the curtain open to try to allow some air to get in the open window, it really didn't cool off much. When I complained to staff at checkout I was told there was nothing they could do for me. They said I should have asked for a fan. I maintain that if the property is not going to have a/c for part of the year that should be advertised on the website.

Staff was nice but the place needs spring cleaning inside and outside. It was a cool night otherwise would have been hot and stuffy since there was not air conditioning. I would not take a shower there since the shower curtain was disgusting.
