Reviews for Adam Motel
Review 1:Double beds a little small and too firm for my liking
Review 2:Rooms clean, staff friendly. Breakfast was fine and they are working on improving the facilities.
Review 3:The only thing was that there were loud noises until late at night. We think they were caused by people entering their rooms. But still, not too bad.
Review 4:The location was great. We had to go to downtown Ottawa and this motel has the perfect location for a fraction of the price.
Review 5:The fact that all the staff members we talked to were very friendly and made us very comfortable. Al;though it is in an area of heavy traffic and night clubs we had no problems with noise allowing us to sleep. The continental breakfast was a really perk
Review 6:The room needed an iron and board.
Review 7:Staff were very friendly and helpful, the room was clean and in good condition. I had a room at the back of the property so it was quiet all night.
Review 8:Motel is old fashioned and sprawling so it's a bit of a walk to get to the office, ice machine and breakfast area. Also, the fridge has no freezer, which I needed at the time of my stay. Otherwise, everything else was very good.
Review 9:Location is great as it is quite close to the places I wanted to visit. Nice price for the room. Good breakfast provided. Very friendly and helpful staff. Clean , large, quiet rooms with a good sense of privacy. Free parking, too.. I would come back and stay here again for another visit.
Review 10:The location is probably not suitable for families. There are many adult shops in the location.
Review 11:The rooms are very cozy and the staff is quite helpful and friendly.
Review 12:Construction was in progress, I'd booked online so I wasn't aware of it. Probably would have stayed somewhere else had I known.
Review 13:Staff were friendly, and informative when asked what to see and where to park when going to Ottawa for sightseeing. Continental breakfast was well stocked, and as comfortable as possible given the amount of construction. Location was very convenient for driving into Ottawa and the towns and parks around Gatineau.
Review 14:Reception area was undergoing refurbishment but didnt inconvenience guests.
Review 15:Great Brazilian restaurant nearby as well as supermarkets. Quiet room away from road. Good breakfast.
Review 16:A cleaner mistook which room she was supposed to do cleaning and knocked our door for quite a while when we were still sleeping.
Review 17:Adam hotel is the cleanest and the most comfortable motel in North America I've ever lived.
Review 18:We arrived during the evening and the person at the front desk wasn't very friendly. He was very curt, just said the bare minimum. It felt cold, like he was unapproachable. The airconditioning was not working properly either. It wasn't very hot when we went so it's okay. The toilet was also leaking, but we fixed it ourselves.
Review 19:It was very clean and modern for a motel type of room. The breakfast in the morning had a lot to offer and the woman at the front desk in the AM was really friendly.
Review 20:The room was supposed to be NON-SMOKING. ( I am allergic to cigarette smoke)The pillows and mattress had smoke odour. The hotel is under renovations. There was no notice given when I made reservations
Review 21:Too expensive for the price, there was no room to sit down for breakfast and the room was not really clean with a lot of dust in the corners of the room.
Review 22:The room had a good sound proof !
Review 23:The room smelled like cigarretes and the air conditioning sounded like a 70's Huey chopper. The place was clean overall but ran out.
Review 24:Spaceful parking and quiet enough amenities. Classic American style motel. Expect no luxury. Fine if you're just passing through and need a stop over.
Review 25:1) no toiletries, mediocre breakfast 2) location is off Gardiner Hwy which is extremely congested and takes a long time to get to the harbour front
Review 26:1) Room was comfortable and roomy 2) staff friendly and helpful. the young lady at the desk took time to draw a map of alternates local routes to downtown
Review 27:Breakfast room is far too small and not well organised, but I guess it will change after renovation works :)
Review 28:Very convenient location, 10 minutes drive from Ottawa city centre, close to restaurants. Even though the outward looks like an average motel, it is not: the rooms are newly refurbished, with elegant and modern decor and a very practical and logic organisation. They are large, comfy and crystal clean. The staff is helpful, warm and welcoming. The pool is perfect.
Review 29:Could have a few more breakfast selections...but it was available early so that was good.
Review 30:Good size rooms, very clean, friendly staff, great location, easy parking
Review 31:When we start the air conditioner, it smells like mold...had coughing fits. Did not appreciate the knocking on the door early morning..to check if room was empty...the door was tried and the deadbolt was locked....clear enough that we were in...but the knocking continued until we answered........
Review 32:The staff is very helpful. The location and parking facility.
Review 33:Room 208 was recently renovated and it was nicely finished and updated. The pool was busy with adults and kids, great to see. Slept very well, no outside noise at all.
Review 34:Wifi was very bad, either very slow (I can hardly open text-only web page) or no internet at all.
Review 35:Staff was nice and kind, Room was very clean, Location is perfect for anyone who want to go to Ottawa. The pool is also nice
Review 36:Breakfast was very crowdy and not well organised + low quality.
Review 37:This hotel has a good quality-price average. The hotel has all the necessary standards that you would expect of such a hotel.
Review 38:However... the gentleman at the desk at night was not very helpful. very disorganized... The rooms were prepaid for my family during the day...& he insisted that they were not... The family showing up was for a surprise party... needless to say the surprise ended when I received a call from hotel saying some of the guest would have to sleep in their car... I had an argument that rooms 421 & 422 were paid in full... 1/2 hour later the guy calls me back to say he found the payment... But the surprise was ruined
Review 39:Lady during the day at desk was a huge help and just plain awesome... I booked these rooms for family coming from out of town :) ...However... :(
Review 40:Air Conditioning was not working,...we were too hot sleeping. Complicated air conditioning system... it should be set up properly by staff.
Review 41:Everything else ok.
Review 42:There was some construction being done to the exterior of the motel, so it was quite noisy quite early in the morning. Also the tv remote was almost impossible to use - first wouldn't change channels, then the channels went haywire! Coffee maker at breakfast was ornery - slow and needed lots of service from the staff. But those things were not a big deal.
Review 43:The room was gorgeous! Obviously recently renovated - it was surprising how nice the room was (room 222), and very clean. Convenient location for driving into Ottawa. Continental breakfast was a nice bonus. Affordable - I'd highly recommend it for a base camp. Pool looked nice, but we didn't use it - too chilly and our room was too far away.
Review 44:As any motel, some guests can be a bit noisy by gathering outside.
Review 45:Very clean and comfortable. Friendly staff. Nice heated pool. I would definitely stay again on a visit to Ottawa.
Review 46:The neighbor, who was also staying in a non-smoking room was sitting and smoking right next to our door. So, we could not enjoy the nice chairs on our little porch area. I realise that this is not the owner' fault. I gave the neighbor a chance but next time I wouldn't.
Review 47:Friendly and very clean!
Review 48:The Adam Motel is one of the best values in lodging that I've encountered in quite a while. The rooms are in excellent condition and are very, very clean. Parking is directly in front of your door as all rooms are at ground level. The continental breakfast is adequate but the layout of the tables in the lobby makes breakfast a positive event in that one meets other guests. All the desk staff were pleasant and helpful but Natasha was the best; maybe it’s her smile! This motel has good highway access but I suggest that one consult maps or electronic guides in order to find the location with the least difficulty.
Review 49:Location was a little out of the way but they have all amenities one would need within a few blocks.
Review 50:A small situation arose upon arrival But staff went out of their way to correct the problem . I would highly recommend you next stay be here Marcel was amazing in taking care of us. And the motel was exceptionally clean and very well maintained
Review 51:Cleanest motel ever stayed in, surprisingly new, perfect location for our needs, restaurants/bars nearby were awesome. Pool was immaculate and needed!
Review 52:could have used more towels. The highway was under repair so a bit of delay. Not much to see there, just a good place to sleep.
Review 53:Check-in was easy, parking was great, room was clean, bed was big & comfortable, lots of channels on big flat screen. Continental breakfast a plus, as I don't eat breakfast but my wife does, so saved time & money. Lots of restaurants, stores nearby.
Review 54:Due to late booking for accommodation in downtown Ottawa I ended up staying in Gatineau. I was not sure how it would work for me, but my accommodation at Adam Motel was just fine - everyone was friendly, the room was really good and comfortable and value for money. I would stay again!
Review 55:I booked our room on Booking.com and was surprised to see that we had to pay a $3 fee for this service. Making online reservations may be easy and fast but I didn't know we'd have to pay the booking fee. I won't do that again.
Review 56:The receptionist was extremely friendly and outgoing. It was a pleasure having her check us into our room. I wish there were more people like her when checking into a hotel/motel.
Review 57:There was no place to hang the towels. Maybe there're not finished renovating.
Review 58:Everything was recently renovated so it was clean and fresh It is also near to shopping mall and church.
Review 59:This motel seems to have all of the comforts of a hotel. Don't let the "Motel" stop you from giving this place a chance. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The rooms were clean and up to date.
Review 60:On a fairly busy street.
Review 61:Very clean room. Decent breakfast. Fairly good location and easy to get over to Ottawa (Parliament Hill). Really good price.
Review 62:Entirely renovated rooms. Breakfast available at 5am for runners. Very friendly staff, very accommodating for early arrival and late departure. 5-10 minutes easy drive to race starting point.
Review 63:Hard to find something to dislike here - if only a very mild displeasure at a situation on a commercial street (normal for most hotel/motel accommodations) and a TV remote control that had to be operated very close to the unit to work (normal battery problem, but unimportant in my case).
Review 64:Staff approach, politeness and attention - Room cleanliness and comfort - Quiet location (motel extends quite far back back from Gerber street) - Parking at room (no need to climb stairs or transport baggage over distance) - only 10-15 minutes from Gatineau and Ottawa.
Review 65:The neighbourhood isn't super nice, although we didn't actually have any bad experiences as a result.
Review 66:The rooms were really nicely renovated and clean. The staff was very friendly. Only about 10 minutes from downtown Ottawa.
Review 67:Nothing!
Review 68:The staff were very helpful- we booked an economic room and they gave us a luxury one. The bed was fine- no noise although it is a ground level. The breakfast was decent and parking free. Ottawa is about 10 mins away.
Review 69:Bathroom very, very small After shower, getting dress in such a small space is a challenge when you're a senior. Outside door was hard to open.
Review 70:Staff's help (the best) Breakfast Parking area Cleanliness Price Proximity to everything Fridge Hair blower
Review 71:The croissants were not as good as they could have been ... considering this is Quebec.
Review 72:The front desk staff was very friendly & helpful, especially as we only speak English. He went out of his way to help me find a Catholic Church & gave me instructions how to get there.
Review 73:Location and kind of worrisome neighbours (exotic nightclub). But the staff more than made up for it. Excellent service. Difficult to find rooms, not in chronological order.
Review 74:The staff. Proximity to downtown Ottawa. Ease of finding it.
Review 75:Used by a lot of working people and all put between tourists, they can be noisy leaving early morning
Review 76:Comfy bed, clean room, adequate breakfast good value for money
Review 77:Noisy and there was mould in the joint (seam) between the bathcorner tiles and the bathroom floor corners
Review 78:Frendly staff, parking in front of the room, good bed
Review 79:See above
Review 80:Good service listen to the customer .however wish they let me know about availability of swimming after labor day earlier so I can plan accordingly.eggs and bacon would be nice for breakfast. Even just boiled eggs are ok too. Price a bit pricier for motel as compared to other alternatives.Smiling reception ladies and gentleman is welcoming. Thanks Stella Chiu from Markham
Review 81:Nothing bad to report. The only possible negative point was the bathroom fan was a bit noisy.
Review 82:Location is excellent. Heated outdoor pool was appreciated. Included breakfast is more complete than similar places. Staff is very friendly and helpful.
Review 83:The parking spaces are too narrow. I could barely open my car doors without touching the next car.
Review 84:The rooms were sound proof. Each room has a winter plug in for cars. I was able to charge my electric car at this motel. The included breakfast was very good.
Review 85:Room & esp.bathroom needs urgent refurbishing. Wash basin cracked. Shower curtain smells badly. Tub not clean. Old worn out fixtures. Toilet loose.
Review 86:Location and parking good. Breakfast ok.
Review 87:We wanted a queen bed, but got a single double, a bit too squeezed for our age.
Review 88:Clean room despite motel age; we were told that renovations are coming this year. Good value for the money we paid. Decent breakfast. Warm and helpful staff. A short hop across the river to Ottawa. Will def stay there again.
Review 89:During a 4-night stay, we had to move twice!! First, our AC system was faulty and didn't work properly while the weather was around 26-28C. As soon as we informed the reception of the situation, they switched us to another room. However, because we were so far from the reception, our WiFi was almost inexistent in room number two.... So they moved us back closer to the reception. Everything was fine aside from these little incidents. Reception mentioned that as of July 7 2014, some arrangements had been made with Internet installers to fix the issue shortly...
Review 90:Friendly bilingual staff; very good value for money; clean pool; clean area; parking right in front of the door (nothing like a good motel...). Very comfortable bed - quality mattresses.
