Reviews for Cardinal Inn
Review 1:No negatives at this time.
Review 2:Smoking Rooms Desk person was friendly Renovations are being done Bar/Restaurant right in the same building Coffee pots in room Room was clean Large room Good Parking Price was right
Review 3:The staff is amazing and the Tap House was a great restaurant attached to the hotel! I'm excited for the upcoming renos! The room was dated but clean and there are updates coming!
Review 4:Doors and windows should be more secure - decor rough around the edges and needs serious update (new owner apparently working on it).
Review 5:Very quiet - it is on a main road but there was hardly any noise from people. Great, helpful staff; room clean.
Review 6:It was unfortunate that the restaurant happened to be closed due to renovation.
Review 7:The staff was very helpful and polite. The cleaning staff did a splendid job in upcoming the room.
Review 8:the adjacent restaurant Culpeppers was most enjoyable. The food was excellent from the breakfast to dinner. The staff was most helpful and very accommodating. We were there in Sudbury for medical reasons three times in the last year and the staff looked after me and made me feel safe. When my husband was released from the hospital (open heart surgery) the staff at the motel and the restaurant could not do enough for us.
Review 9:* The fan very noisy- hard to get a comfortable temperature, and not have the fan continually cycling on & off. With opening the window, which I do like, the traffic was noisy!
Review 10:* Excellent location * Bed very comfortable * coffee- a nice touch! * The 10% off Culpepper's next door was a plus!
Review 11:The staff were friendly and informative at the desk and the dining room/bar. 10% discount when you had your meals there was great and appreciated. Rhonda was truly a pleasure and interested in what was happening to us while in Sudbury. John who served us in the dining room was excellent . He took the time to ensure we were very well looked after.We would absolutely return and recommend The Cardinal to anyone. P.S. the pickerel dinner was delicious!!!
Review 12:1. Dirty 2. Smelled 3. Had no idea what a childs cot was - and did not have any. 4. Certainly not 3 star - I would recon 1 star at most.
Review 13:1. Absolutely nothing
Review 14:The fact that there was construction right outside out hotel...
Review 15:We stayed here because of the price. The decor was outdated but overall our stay was good
Review 16:Stayed at the Cardinal many times years ago with my teams. It seems the place is long past its "best before" date. Will not visit there again.
Review 17:Very strong old cigarette smell to the room and noise from the highway was loud. Had to run the A/C in order to drown out highway and reduce smell. Towels were very small and thin. TV was small and very few channels.
Review 18:The motel was conveniently located just off the highway. It was relatively inexpensive. Bed was ok. Hook up for Wi-Fi was simple.
Review 19:room was non-smoking but it reaked of smoke. would not stay again unless in a pinch again because of the smoke aroma
Review 20:All Sudbury Rates at better hotel had been raised drastically that wee or booked or did not accept pets. We only needed a room for a short sleep b4 catching a tour bus early morning. Price and location was right.

Review 39:Location. Restaurant was decent and the staff there was friendly and accommodating.
Review 40:Room is getting a bit old. It needs new carpet and bathroom upgrade.
Review 41:There is a good restaurant on site. The location is on the main street downtown Sudbury. It is within 2 - 3 kilometers of shopping.

Review 43:Basic accomadation
Review 44:...people behind the desk not to friendly and rooms little bit old and not so clean...
Review 45:...we enjoyed the Cardinal Inn restaurant and pub, which is fancy and interior well designed...the rest are at a relative middle to low expectations...but, finally we fell OK!...
Review 46:There were only 2 small towels in the room and you could tell they were very old. The bathtub did not have a plug. A bug was climbing on the pillow when I went to move it. There was a broken lamp sitting on the table in the corner.
Review 47:wish the beds where newer and more renovated ;)
Review 48:loved that every mean we had at the restaurant 3 times a day for three days, we had awesome food and great service , thanks for that
Review 49:I asked for additional towels and a pillow, but had to call again at bedtime to request them a second time. Cleaning staff removed the extra pillow the first day so if I wanted it again - I would have had to ask. I just did without.
Review 50:I liked that the room had an outside door.
Review 51:That I forgot to let the staff know that there was a little drip (leak)in the bathroom ceiling just as you entered the part with the bath tuband toilet.
Review 52:How friendly all the staff were.
Review 53:No complaints. It was better than I had anticipated.
Review 54:I really liked how the 1500 was attached to the hotel. It made it veryeasy to enjoy a nice meal without leaving the hotel. Also, the Chineserestaurant is opened late for those who are hungry after hours.
Review 55:No grab bars in the bathtub for seniors. The coffee was terrible.
Review 56:Convenience to the hospital and having been there before, I knew where some places were as we are from out of town.
Review 57:Older hotel and fixtures, but clean and comfortable.
Review 58:Smoking rooms were available. Restaurants and pubs attached or near by for short walk. Grocery, banking, Tim Horton's amd shopping all very close.
Review 59:It's not that I didn't like..... it needs some updating.... the chairs in my room were fancy looking, however the material was worn and very dirty looking so I won't sit on them. The tv is old, I was surprised they didn't have flat screens up on the wall. My king size bed was nice looking but a little hard...lol at least it wasn't old and lumpy..lol
Review 60:I like the fact the restaurant is attached and has an excellent breakfast! I choose this motel as I have stayed there before, it may be old but it is clean & quiet and the staff is friendly. I really liked the fact that I parked right at my door.
Review 61:Room a bit too dark, corner lights were ont working.
Review 62:I was not disappointed in my stay, The front counter and the restruant staff were very people oriented and made me feel well.
Review 63:Rooms dirty. Bed not made toilet broken. Moved 3 times to different rooms. All rooms smoking. Everyone sitting outside their rooms. We left and didn't sleep there it was so bad. Staff very kind. Not their fault. Mangement problem
Review 64:No Compalints
Review 65:Comfortable rooms---friendly staff-----good food---------everything was fine When I requested a first floor room the desk clerk suggested that I might want to reconsider and try the second floor as they were having a band in that night and the second floor would be quieter, I felt that to be quite thoughtful and considerate,and it worked out great
Review 66:The only thing I would recommend would be to place recycling containersin the rooms.
Review 67:The Cardinal Inn was clean and provided us with everything we requiredfor our trip. It was a great deal for the money. Nothing fancy, but wasclean and conveniently located close to malls and the university.
Review 68:Smell of smoke -- noticeable as soon as we entered the facility. Strong smell in halls, but not in our non-smoking room.
Review 69:Rooms were clean and comfortable. Staff was pleasant.
Review 70:However, we were on the main floor and the noise from the unit abovekept us awake. It was not talking or tv sounds, but rather foot trafficnoise. Maybe the person was wearing workboots or something but the noisekept us awake.
Review 71:I chose the Cardinal Inn for the price, to try and get something betterthan a roadside motel. It served the purpose admirably.
Review 72:It was very noisy. You could hear people stomping around in the room above. There was a door from the room to the outside and the people next door went out to smoke and where also loud. I would only recommend this hotel to those who want a basic, inexpensive option with no frills.
