Family owned and operated, The Village Inn Motel offers a warm welcome, friendly service, and clean, comfortable accommodations for visitors to the beautiful Village of Elora. We have a large parking lot even suitable for large vehicles and trucks. Located on the south side of the village, we are close to all the attractions; The Elora Gorge, The Grand River Raceway and Casino, the unique stores of the core Elora area, walking trails, including the Elora-Cataract Trailway, conservation areas, restaurants, and more all just a few minutes away. Two wonderful restaurants are right on the premises. Fergus, St. Jacobs, Elmira, Salem, Rockwood, Kitchener, Waterloo, and Guelph all just a short drive from Elora. Enjoy an affordable night stay in beautiful Elora, a short distance away from the hustle & bustle of city life and yet it feels like ...a world away.
Star ratings are intended to indicate the general level of features, amenities, and services to expect. This property is classified according to Giata.
Places to stay are graded on a 0-100 scale. The higher the grade, the easier it is for travellers to find restaurants and things to do within walking distance.
We wanted to stay overnight in Elora, inexpensively. So we found the Village Inn and it is exactly as you would expect for a budget stay. The room is a comfortable size, beds are comfortable. The room was clean, sheets/towels/pillows good. The room could use an update (a bit of chipped paint, older bedspreads etc), but that is why you are having an inexpensive stay. All of the expected amenities are there and fine (TV, fridge, microwave, soaps, clock). There is coffee and juice in the front lobby in the morning, along with granola bars and fruit. Since I didn't expect brekkie, this was a bonus. The hotel is located within 1/2 KM of downtown Elora, an easy walk on a nice day. Overall, we were quite happy with our stay. This isn't the Ritz, but you're not paying for the Ritz. If you want a comfortable, well located hotel with few frills but all of the essentials, you're home!

I decided to visit the Elora Gorge as well as the town of Elora. Initially this property was shown as sold out.
I called the property directly and was advised there had been a cancelation and 1 room was available.
The property is well located within walking distance of the Elora Gorge and downtown Elora.
It is a family owned/ run motel which appears to have been recently renovated.
The room was very clean, well appointed with fridge/ microwave, nice TV, a desk and chair to do work/ eat .Washroom was very clean with sufficient toiletries/ towels etc. The bed was very comfortable and there was a lounge chair.
I had a restful night with no disturbances from other guests. While breakfast is not included there is fresh coffee/ orange juice/ bananas/ granola bars complimentary.
There is a Tim Hortons/ Subway/ Chinese restaurant and grocery store available nearby.
My room did face the road but it was pretty quiet at night with just a little noise in the morning

The Village Inn is a nicely renovated hotel, within walking distance to downtown Elora. We asked for a quiet room and were given a room facing the back of the hotel, which was good to reduce traffic noise. The bed was very comfortable, and the room had a fridge and microwave. The a/c & heater unit appeared to be an all of nothing type on/off switch. You didn't set a temperature, there was just a dial for hot or cold. It didn't seem to turn off at all, so it was difficult to maintain a comfortable temperature in the room. One suggestion would be for the hotel to upgrade to nicer shower heads, especially after doing a good job renovating the rooms/washrooms. The price was very good, and I'd definitely consider coming back again for a weekend trip.

Room was your typical, basic accommodations. A bit old-fashioned. Sink was plugged; nobody came to unplug it. Toilet seat was broken; nobody fixed it. Difficulty getting towels and toilet paper from staff. Apparently, they were short on towels, and asked why we needed more towels (felt very guilty asking for anything). Upon arriving back to our room our first night (with DO NOT DISTURB sign on outside door). Staff came into our room, left towels on our dirty bedspread. From experience, nobody should come into our room. PERIOD. Sign on door. They should have left towels outside our room, in plastic bag). How do I even know a mask was worn, or worse yet something gone missing. I called front desk immediately, and management argued with me when I tried to explain about the DO NOT DISTURB sign, and that nobody should have entered our room.

Stayed one night. This is VERY clean, comfortable and quiet little motel, and the most reasonably priced. It has been updated. Family owned business. Nice people. We had a room on first floor and was able to park our car right outside the patio door, so easy access to bring your bags in and go to the car if you forget something. A short 10 min walk to the Main Street You won’t be disappointed staying at this place.

We had a 2 night stay in Elora to attend a wedding this past weekend (Jan.10/11 2020). The Village Inn exceeded all of our expectations. Peter, the owner, was pleasant and courteous and ensured that our stay was enjoyable.The two storey facility was very clean and newly renovated although the online photos do not do it justice as they have not been updated to reflective the extensive renovations that have been completed. The newly renovated room looked very nice and with the king bed was spacious and very comfortable and complete with a microwave, TV and small fridge. There is ample free parking and wifi. The location is minutes away from Elora and the local casino. While there is no onsite restaurant, a variety of eating establishments are within easy walking distance. The Village Inn was a pleasant find ($) and we certainly would stay there again on a return visit to Elora.

This motel is not high end but has everything you would want for a nights stay in the beautiful town of Elora. It is close to the Grand River Raceway and Casino and the centre of town where so many shoppes and restaurants are located. The room was clean , bed comfortable, quiet, and nice to have a frig and microwave. There is coffee and fruit available in the morning. My only suggestion would be that the towels need to be replaced.

This is a very basic hotel that it's only saving grace is it's location somewhat downtown. The bathrooms need updating and the shower/tub combo is deadly, very slippery and you had to hold on to the hand rail. They charged a lot of money for a basic room, not worth it stay somewhere else.
