Review of Mayfair Motel 2*

This motel is a little dated, but the rooms are kept very clean. Each room includes a small kitchenette, although the stove can only be used if you're a monthly guest. There is a microwave, but no toaster. Fortunately, there are coffee shops (Starbucks and Tim Hortons) nearby where you can grab breakfast. There are also a number of other restaurants nearby for lunch and dinner (The Ruby, KFC, Denny’s, etc. ) The staff were all very friendly. When we arrived, the lady at the front desk took the time to mark local attractions on a map for us. She also recommended a few restaurants downtown. This was greatly appreciated. Because the motel is quite dated, there were a few issues. The structure is wood so you can hear every movement the people above you make. We had some very noisy people staying above us which made sleep difficult sometimes. I recommend trying to get a room on the top floor or staying elsewhere if you are a light sleeper. The door to the room is also just wood and not self-closing so you have to make sure it’s closed or you’ll hear all your neighbours (who also may not have properly closed their doors). The other big problem is the parking situation. This, however, might be more the fault of the other guests than the motel itself. The parking lot is quite small and a number of spots are marked for small cars only (which nobody listens to) so the parking lot fills up very quickly. We also found that an alarming number of people here are incapable of parking between the lines of a parking space. When people park their cars over the lines, they effectively reduce the number of parking spaces by half. I was honestly amazed (and disgusted) by how many people were so rude and inconsiderate as to take up two parking spaces. We did, however, always managed to get a parking spot (sometimes the last one and often a very tight spot). Overall, this is a very nice motel for the price.
