Very disappointed

Review of Lotus Motel
2.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed Jun 9, 2016
We booked the jacuzzi king room,,, clearly it's not rented too often, everything was covered in a thick layer of dust. There were dead bugs on the bathroom floor. Room needs to be updated and cleaned. Bathroom wasn't even painted. Worse bathroom set up ever!!! Sink is in the room not bathroom?.. Not coffee cups for your complimentary stale coffee. Bed was amazingly comfortable,, however... In the morning we discovered a huge hair wade in the sheets at the bottom of the bed,,, it was black hair,,we don't have black hair... Yuk. NOT worth the money. There's a rental apartment upstairs so we listened to the banging and kids running until we complained..woke up to there washer at 8 am!,, Not cool...every time they flushed their toilet we heard... Definitely NOT any aspect of a romantic retreat in what was suppose to be a luxury room... Had to request the password for free wifi.....we were double charged and had to get that sorted out... The lady at the desk was very sweet though.

It's a motel, not the Sheraton. But let's count all the positives. The reception was warm and friendly. Staff answered my questions about Cobourg's rather tricky transit system and made it quite clear to ask if I needed anything. It snowed while I was there but the room was nice and warm without being too warm. A/C unit was noisy but I did;t use it. The rooms are really well insulated. I didn't use the A/C when I stayed there the previous time. The bathroom tap system is unusual for the shower. Lift the lever to switch to shower and turn on the central tap to start water flow. Good selection of TV channels, spare blanket in drawer if you needed it. Beds comfortable and not too tightly made. Wendy's, McDonald's and Tim Horton's right next door. The latter two open really early My unit this time was not a kitchen unit but it did have a microwave and a fridge. I'm at a loss to understand some previous reviews to be honest.

Room tip: There are kitchen options available.

I should have checked reviews before staying here, but had come into Cobourg for a family funeral; not impressed with this Motel at all
Room smelled; skimpy towels; bathroom not very clean; bed looked like a 5 yr old made it up.
Opened the small fridge and it wasn't very cold and also smelled; didn't even take the chance on looking in the microwave.
Didn't get much sleep as you could hear the occupants in the next room (they weren't very pleasant sounding).
The room itself was pitiful - stains on the walls, cobwebs in the corners, dust on the furniture, sticky floors and the carpet certainly had seen better days.

Room tip: Run away from this Motel as fast as you can

We had traveled to Cobourg Beach for a day out with the family, and when looking for an economical motel, we were a little hesitant with Lotus Motel due to some negative reviews.

Due to last minute plans in deciding to stay the night, we ended up at Lotus Motel and were pleasantly surprised. Management was very friendly and accommodating with our late arrival, giving us one of the larger rooms for the price of a normal double bed room. The room our family of 4 stayed in was surprisingly large, and even had a jacuzzi!

Needless to say, we were very impressed with the management and room, given that it is a motel of course. We would recommend Lotus Motel to anyone in the Cobourg area looking for a nice room at an economical price.

We were heading back home from a baseball game and couldn't make it so we found this motel which was very reasonable for a night's stay. The staff were very pleasant to us. The room was clean and the beds were very adequate. It was not the most modern but was very economical. We were satisfied with our night's stay.
