My family enjoyed a nights accomodation at park side. It was very clean and the rooms have been recently updated, the manager was extremely nice and very helpful. The wifi was great and I loved being able to have my dog stay with us as they are a pet friendly hotel. I would recommend this place to my friends and I plan to stay there again very soon. Thank you
I love coming here! I’m here atm and it’s my true home away from home! My room is great! Perfect size room with huge bed, lots of drawers, big bathroom & just all brand new and fresh and so clean!! The managers, Dan & Lauren are truly fabulous! They go over and above what’s even needed. Always both smiling and curtious. Our stay wouldn’t be the same without them! Pets r welcome and she loves it here too! Thank you for everything
This place is definitely a 5 star motel. Don't get me wrong, it's not a hotel but it has everything you need. Kind and caring staff and family owned. The rooms are very clean and the showers are great. They have strong wifi and each room comes with a Roku TV. You are able to stream your own devices and have seemless connection. If you do not have a visa are don't, then do not worry because this motel will take cash/debit deposits. If you are hungry or need gas, Park Side is located on Hwy 7 and is only ten minutes away from the nearest grocery store. I would give this place a 10 out of 10 but google doesn't program that option into the reviews. Cheers Park Side Motel
I made a reservation after I heard so many good things about the new ownership and mgmt. It turned to be true, the room was large, classy and beautiful, super clean, comfortable beds and fully quality renovated. Very convenient location, a minutes away to downtown Peterborough, close to all amenities and many places to visit. Professional and friendly staff. Entire experience excellent. Highly recommend.
Such a cute little place! The beds weren't hotel quality and they're nothing like a honeymoon suite but everything was clean and there's AC, WiFi/TV and a mini fridge. We had a good stay!
Pros: Amazing people! Super nice and friendly. Really professional for an independent place. And the softest toilet paper I’ve ever had in a motel!!! :) Cons: Furniture is stained and old. Low water pressure :( Overall = 5/5 Cleanliness = 4/5 Customer Service = 5/5 Facilities = 3/5 Location = 4/5
Great value. Simple and cheap. No frills but clean with helpful and friendly staff. I wanted a room with a kitchenette but they where all out so they gave me a small double burner hot plate and toaster oven instead with a room that had a sink and counter top. I definitely recommend the place for anyone looking for a simple cheap place for a night or two.
I thought the room was really nice and very clean. I enjoyed my stay there and would go back again for sure. The lady at the front desk was really nice.
Off Route 7, this low-key motel is 5 km from the Art Gallery of Peterborough, which showcases modern works. It’s also 6 km from the Canadian Canoe Museum and 9 km from the kids’ activities at Riverview Park & Zoo.
