Review of Lotus Motel
2.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed Jul 28, 2017
Stayed here because all of the other hotels were at capacity.

This is a very tired hotel with many long-term residents who live primarily outside their rooms in folding chairs smoking and drinking.

The rooms are clean but not attractive. TVs are analog tube models and the cooling is via window A/C mounted in the wall. Linens are threadbare, and the mattresses likely years old.

I locked the deadlock, but had to use a screwdriver to open it from the inside.

The motel is nice and clean. Great location, next to Tim Hortons, Mcdonalds and other restaurants. Less than 5mins drive from downtown. The rooms are clean, hot tub and kitchen in some rooms. Best place to stay in Cobourg.

Room tip: Free parking, Hot tub, rooms are clean, new floor and Kitchen and friendly staff

The Lotus Motel is now under new management as of January 10, 2017. The new owners are very excited about their new investment and have goals to upgrade the rooms and improve the overall look. I have met the owner and he is professional and very customer orientated. The motel is located in a great area of town with fast food restaurants very close by and lots of parking.

Room tip: at present, rooms 110, and 111 are popular and 116 -120 are comfortable rooms.

Made a reservation online through Booking.com. Cancelled but they didn't send an email confirmation. Motel still charged room to credit card. When I called the same night to have it cleared up, woman on phone was very short (rude) and said to take it up with the website. I guess this place is so desperate for money they'll take it anyway they can.

This Motel is not so terrible.

We've stayed for one night and didn't had problem: wifi - tv was running fine.
No breakfast is included in the price.

The person in the office was nice, provided a lot of info where to go, etc.

The volountary canadian tax on the price was NOT included automatically
