The room is clean and tidy. But not to expect a luxury resort type experience. The pool is quite small, it’s just for fun only. Location is good, walking distance to the beach.

I stayed one night in the King Mango/Papaya room and really wanted to love this place, but I left disappointed, especially for the price. Pros: • The grounds are nicely landscaped and the pool area looks inviting. • The décor shows effort in trying to make the space stylish. Cons: • The mattress was sunken in the middle and uncomfortable, with rough linens and very thin pillows that made for a poor night’s sleep. • The blackout blinds didn’t fully block light, so the room stayed bright from streetlights. To make matters worse, the TV turned on by itself in the middle of the night. • Very minimal in-room amenities — no noticeable Wi-Fi and only a small amount of coffee/tea. • The pool has no privacy from the active construction site right next door. Noise was an issue, and once building progresses it will likely be worse. Overall, this motel looks appealing at first glance, but the basics of comfort and value just aren’t there. Unfortunately, it wasn’t worth the money and I wouldn’t recommend staying here.

Room clean and comfortable. Very squeaky bed. Coffee and tea provided with fresh cream in refrigerator however coffee machine didn't work. Nearby Timmys got our business. Drinks by pool are overpriced. Good location.

Super disappointed. Wanted to love but we had to leave because it was very dirty and not up to any standard and we were promised a refund by the manager Melissa. They haven’t followed up. I called and was told to email them to remind them of the incident and never heard back, it has been over a month and a half!

Wanted to like the Kiwi Motel, but ended up being a case of “putting lipstick on a pig” so to speak. Just because you paint everything white, add beach design details and make it look good for the socials, doesn’t make it worth almost $500/night. The bed in room 1 was soft, squeaky and the duvet cover had a blood stain on it. The pool was 3/4 full and surrounding area looked like it was minimally maintained.

The property and facilities were top notch. Very warm and inviting with lots of space for a small hotel. Special shout out to Melisa and Veronica. Melisa was the manager and Veronica ran the the pool bar. Veronica made us feel so welcome and treated us like family. Thanks so much for everything. We will absolutely see you again.

This motel was very conveniently located close to the Grand Bend strip. There was a plaza across the street that had an LCBO, Shoppers, and Sobeys that we could walk to. The staff were pleasant but the service wasn’t great. The Queen rooms were very small, and the layout was difficult to manoeuvre with luggage. Our room was very dirty and the air conditioning didn’t work very well. We had to asked the front desk to fix it at least 3 times. The pool was broken for most of our stay and we stayed 3 nights. Overall, it’s very well decorated but I would skip this one.
