Borden Inn and Suites

What guests think

Borden Inn and Suites draws mixed feedback, with many guests finding clean, budget rooms and a convenient location near restaurants and the base, while others report maintenance and security issues, inconsistent temperature control, and variable comfort and noise levels.

Service skews friendly and accommodating, including late check-ins, though some guests describe rude interactions or unhelpful responses. Parking is often tight, and while some rooms are updated with kitchenettes or full kitchens and pet-friendly options, coffee makers or kettles are commonly absent. Overall, expect a budget stay prioritizing price and location over polish.

We checked into our room, and found the bathroom was dirty but the rest of the room was clean. The locks on the door did not work which made us feel very unsafe. We ended up putting the iron board from the closet in front of our door just to feel a little better. The outlet in the bathroom was sticking out of the wall which was very unsafe and made it unusable. There was also only one thin blanket on top of the bed which made sleep uncomfortable. The parking lot was very tight which made our vehicle a little hard to get in/out of. Overall, we were not impressed and will not be returning.

We stayed here due to an overbook at our original stay, the hotel was worth it. Beds were more comfortable, clean and when we arrived the gentleman said you have a room with a kitchen. We didn’t book one. Thinking it was a kitchenette, but no it was a full separate kitchen!!! Wow! And clean. We were up on the second floor it was quiet and we slept great, I would recommend!

Was an emergency extra night stay due to weather. Could not accommodate parking car+trailer. Had to leave 300M away and walk along snowy road to reach room. (Sidewalks were impassable - not Motel fault) No hangers in closet area. Forced air heat system - could not control temp, but at least relatively quiet. Room access via narrow laneway. No coffee/tea maker.

Did not have proper security for the building. Anyone could get into the hallway where are rooms where. No card access. Lock on door was broke. Door to another room was in our room and door was not secure. Gelt a bit unsafe. Had my 80 year old mother with me so i had to get creative with securing the room.

We stayed two nights. The area had an enormous amount of snow and there was only one guy working. So the parking lot was ridiculous but I’m assuming that’s because it was beyond their control. Seemed like every parking lot in town looked the same. The room was spotless and quite spacious. Quiet. Heat unit was great. Bathroom worked great. Nicely decorated. Would have given full marks if there was another blanket and a coffee maker in the room. The mattress was the best I’ve ever slept on away from home. Better than any large chain hotel or small hotel. We slept amazing.

Ok. I wasnt expecting much and I have stayed at number of low end motels but this one takes the cake. It was so bad. Disgusting beyond believe. We stayed here 1 night during an ice storm as we didnt have power for 2 days. We ended up leaving at 4am, couldnt take the constant noise and uncomfortable bed. No sleep. Paper thin walls. Did i mention dirty? Lol When we got there, we had to go home and get our own towels because the ones there had yellow and brown stains. Also no soap at all. The only good thing was the guy at the front desk was nice. Holes in walls, brown stain fluids running down the walls, cobwebs in every corner. I lysol wiped all surfaces, the wipes were brown.

While the room was clean, there were issues. Towels and bedding didn't look properly washed with old stains on them. The door to the room didn't have any privacy/security secodary lock, only a flip bar. Floor wasn't level, many places you would feel it give way under foot. It's a work in progress.

Checked in later, around 9pm. The room I received, was an adjoining room that had a door separating my room from the main room. There was no a/c nor heat controls in my room, which I did not appreciate. There was no kind of grab handles in the bathroom. This is something I haven’t done across in quite some time. Room was fairly clean, saw some hair in the made bed.

Not a particularly good basic room. No thermostat to control temperature. One input air vent in the ceiling that blew very cold air in long bursts with then no flow for periods between. Room was cold humid as the air coming in was not being properly dried by the aircon system. Room smelt faintly of past cigarette smoking which was enhanced by the humidity level. Would not recommend these basic rooms on the north side. The other larger rooms on the south side are a bit better.

Checked into this place during the ice storm, we needed a place to shower and get to work. The "non-smoking" room had a stench of old tobacco and incense mixed together, being asthmatic, it was horrible!! The only heat source to the room was a space heater. In a state of disrepair wires hanging out the wall from an old telephone connection, a little closet without a bar to hang things up, and no hangers to do so. Miss matches chairs that are stained and worn. I checked out a day early, but wwasnt given a refund, because "it's past 1100" was the answer I received. I Holes in the wall, no place to hang clothes,
