It was right on the main hwy, really easy to find. Check in went fine. He explained every detail. We had a problem with the TV service. He came right away and fixed it. No problem.

This property was a little strange. I booked a hotel room but ended up having a "studio" in a separate renovated house behind the motel building. The room was great as far as cleanliness but it did not provide the amenities, coffee, soap, shampoo etc that is usually provided for an overnight hotel stay. The room did have a full kitchen as if for a longer stay, say a week. Just was not a usual motel/hotel room for overnight stays.

The owner was friendly and over accommodating The Wi-Fi gave us trouble but he made sure to address it and fix it The rooms were clean for a budget motel The water is well water so it has a smell. The room could use an upgrade as the tub is rusty and the taps are well past years Overall we paid $90 and were satisfied that we got our moneys worth

We were passing through as we had a wedding in Almonte and stayed only one night. Alex was very nice when we checked in and the room was clean, the only thing I would mention is that the showers could use a bit of updating but other than that we would definitely stay here again.

Response from 7 West Motel on 18 Sept 2023
The reviewer who rated us did not show up, did not see the Motel rooms and suites, did not stay at the Motel and did not even make an attempt to cancel their reservation. In fact, long after business hours at around 11:35 PM, we called to find out if they still planning to come to the Motel, because the Motel's office operates from 11:00 AM to 10:00 PM. A man who answered the call told us that they supposedly drove in but did not bother to go inside the Motel because they did not like the way outside looked.There is an old saying: "Don't judge a book by its cover". We feel it is unfair to the Motel and its Staff who are working really hard to keep the Motel rooms and suites pleasant and clean to be rated and judged by somebody who never even stepped inside the Mote's rooms and suites, and never stayed at the Motel.

Misleading.... The pictures that are online are not what the room is. I did take pictures. For starters, the room had a funky odour to it. The carpets were filthy our white socks were black after walking across room. Lets not get started on the air conditioning unit, it did absolutely nothing, I checked the filter and it was clogged with dirt and dust or whatever it had. Just by looking at the filter I can only imagine what the rest of the unit looked like. Lets talk about the floor at the entrance of the room, it measures approximately 3.5 ft by 3.5 ft square that is raised roughly an inch and a half higher than the rest of the floor in the room. This poises a massive tripping hazard in the middle of the night in the dark. The main door isn't secure, the chain is coming off the wall as well as the handle isn't that secure. The bathroom is an area of concern. Where the toilet and the bathtub/shower is to small. You can barely move around. The bathtub doesn't drain well because there seems to be a trough in the middle, most likely the tub has collapsed there. this is also making it hard to stand in the tub. The water flow and faucet. There is fluctuation in water pressure and temperature. The controls are old an the spout is rusting. The beds seem to new but extremely hard in time they might soften up. This motel isn't disabled friendly, there are no ramps up to the rooms. Also the first driveway entrance has a huge pot hole that can cause damage to a vehicle.

Hello Peter,Thank you for a detailed review. Prior to Covid-19, we were about to repair and renovate the motel. But as Covid-19 struck, all of our plans were ruined. In fact, all of the contractors could not do any work, as they were non-essential, and on top of this, all of the permits had expired. So that was the bad news. But the good news is that we are now on the way to recovery as we began the full repair and renovation process of the motel. In fact, we are putting all of our efforts around the clock to make the transition as great and fast as possible.

We are sorry if you fell some sort of bad smell in the room you stayed at. Perhaps the smell came from the one of our nearby neighbours thought the air conditioning unit. However, let us assure you that there are no mold or anything else of that nature in the room as we always working hard to fully clean and sanitise the rooms to the maximum and at the highest professional level on a daily basis.

You owe it to yourself to go elsewhere
Our first thought was oh crap, no matter what we paid let's just go find another place. The exterior looked run down. When we checked the room out (213) we were met with the extreme smell of cleaning agents. (it was clean). And the mattress were surprisingly firm and in good condition. The bed linens were alot outdated but manageable. However..... The bathtub faucet had a constant drip. There was mold or grime or dirt or something near the bottom of the door by the bathtub. If the bathroom had been recently "renovated" they did a terrible job. There were cracked tiles. (maybe they didn't get the this room yet?).... We were there just to put our heads on a pillow for the night. Next time we will spend a bit more and go somewhere else.

We apologize for the issues you have found. We definitely will repair them immediately. As for renovation, we just began the process, which unfortunately does not happen overnight. However, we are doing everything possible to speed up the process and make all of our rooms beautiful, comfortable, and pleasant.

We apologize for the outside appearance, as we are currently in the process of repairing and renovating the Motel. As for the guestroom the person stayed at, there were no water stains on the ceiling, and the carpet is actually thoroughly cleaned. There is no paint peeling inside the guestroom, but there is a bit of paint pealing outside the room.

Warning! Never book this place. We did not stay. Expedia's ad does not represent this Motel 7. Property is unkempt and dangerous for walking. Rooms are musty, smelly, damaged and unlivable. The owner is aggressive, insistent and devious. But he still charged me. I will never use Expedia again. I cannot trust them.

Response from 7 West Motel Administration on 18 Jul 2023
This is not true! We have many witnesses and video recordings of exactly what happened. These people, upon arrival, asked to see the rooms first. We gladly gave them the keys to take a look and check the rooms prior to registration. They checked the rooms and told us they did not like the rooms. In such a situation, just as any hotel would and should, we offered them our best premium Studio Suite located just behind the main section of the Motel. At first, they refused, which was strange, since we offered them our best upgrade at no extra charge. But then they agreed to come to see it. Being always kind and polite, we took them to see the Premium Studio Suite. But just about halfway walking toward the Motel's house where one of the fully modern and beautifully appointed Premium Studio Suites is located, the man (there were a man and a lady) suddenly start screaming, insulting and cursing us, saying that that's not a Motel. But it is part of Motel 100%. In front of the Motel's house, there were very nice people visiting their mom and relative who stays at the one of Motel's Premium Studio Suites. We tried to explain to the couple that these were visitors to see their mom and relative and that they are absolutely fine people, but the man kept his aggression going by insulting, screaming, and cursing us in front of many of the Motel's guests and visitors. We were about to call the police, but they left the property. We charged them only the cancellation fee, which is equivalent to a one-night stay according to the Motel's Rules and Policies Cancellation Policy.

Don't be fooled by the run-down look from outside. I was truly surprised the furniture in my room were classy and like new. The glass tops of the dresser, coffee table, etc in the room were spotless. The bathroom will need some upkeep, but it is clean. I found the owner is very friendly and easy to talk to. Overall, it's a good value for my stay.

Door did not close properly and had a huge gap on the bottom. Felt very unsafe as there were people arguing next door and they would leave their door open while naked in the room. Found bloody sock outside my door and tons of cigarettes butts all over the walkways.
