We had a basement room # 112, as price is lower than the higher floors. It is 2 bedrooms and kitchen, which is very good for families with kids.
The room is clean, though don't expect luxury, but for few days ok. There is full size fridge, stove, microwave, coffee maker. 1 king bed in each room.
Price was 109/night plus taxes.
There is coffee culture next to motel, union burger, McDonalds cross the street. Subway to your right 2 minutes walking.
Walmart to your left 5 minutes walking, in brief: the location is super.
There is barbecue area in the backyard of the hotel, bring your set with you as well as all your stuff. At night there is no light in the backyard so we had to buy a lamp to be able to cook, check grill heat as it was not strong enough for steaks.
You can ask Bob the manager about anything but don't expect to get all what you ask for, he will help you with info but not actions unless he can.
Barbecue: you are on your own.
If you want to know where to go in Port Elgin or what to do: ask Bob he is good in that, by the way, there is nothing much to do there unless you intend to drive and move around and explore surroundings.
There are many beaches for swimming in Port Elgin, the best one is the main beach as there are people around you and you can find something to eat, but don't count much on that, still it is a small beach.
Better to have a car or bring all your stuff with you.
Activity on the beach: volleyball, kids train station for 15 minutes ride ( ticket for kid 7 dollars),adults are welcome to take the train as well. Check train schedule before going.
Port Elgin is a very small city but ok, not the best, but if you want something affordable, calm, fresh shallow water, it is a good choice.
