Admiral Inn Motel

DO NOT RESERVE A ROOM HERE! EVER! NOT EVEN WHEN U ARE TRYING TO SAVE MONEY! I reserved a room here to try and save some $. We arrived and the stairs to my 3^rd floor room were all covered in ice and snow. When we got to the room we opened the door and we’re knocked out by the old musty stench. Not only that the heat wasn’t on. The staffer turned it on for me but it was just blowing a cool-​warm air. We figired it would take a bit to heat up, but it should have already been on for us. They knew the day before that we were checking in. One of our 2 queen beds was broken in the middle so it was laying at an angle. We were going to rough it out as we were just going to be sleeping there but then we tried to turn on the television. No channels. We looked for a phone to call the front desk and no phone in the room. I called the main # and he said we can’t switch rooms cause the whole building was down. At this point we were already thinking of booking a better room somewhere else. The deciding point for that new booking is when I lifted the covers off the bed. They were all stained with brown spots (like sweat stains — I guess). Absolutely disgusting!!! We then went and lost our non-​refundable reservation $ and went to a more expensive hotel. Long story short, don’t even consider this place. The pictures they took for their site and thr booking sites were taken from when they first opened and you can’t smell the rancid smell from pictures!

I’m actually in my room right now. And where do I start? Yes, there are hottubs, however, the jets on ours doesn’t work. We didn’t have towels. I had to go ask for some. Outside looks like a ghetto. There’s a group of 8 – 10 guys sitting outside in lawn chairs having beers… it’s 1:30am. The room has bugs and the bed feels like stone. DO NOT stay here! Pay the extra 50 a night and sleep well!

This place is absolutely disgusting and doesn’t even qualify as an «inn» or a place you should stay while on vacation. I have stayed in cheap places before, but this one has been the worst I’ve ever seen. While checking in, we paid cash and the manager didn’t want to give us a receipt until he finally kept asking. Then, once we walked up to the room, the door was not even fully closed and the room was engulfed in cigarette smoke and smelled as if someone died in there. The mini fridges had mold in them, the bed felt like a rock, and the place hasn’t looked like it was cleaned since the place was built. There was dry piss all over the toilet, no shower items given. It was absolutely disgusting — we decided to check the mattresses and found mice droppings and large gross stains on the bottom of the mattress. We immediately dropped the key off in the overnight bin and left! DO NOT STAY HERE! Not worth your money and the feeling you will have while staying there.

Holy moly, there are no words to describe how terrible this hotel is. We just needed a place to stay after crossing the border so we stayed here since this was the only place with 3 beds in the area. Don’t do it! This was the worst hotel i have ever been in. Dirty rooms, crappy furniture, just plain nasty. The area is nice though but don’t let that fool you. I would give it no stars if it let me.

Absolute hithole. Pubes everywhere one tv didn’t work one heater didn’t work stained sheets with cig burns. Avoid avoid avoid !

I’d rather sleep on the street, and if it wasn’t for the rain and the CUV being too small to sleep six I think we would have. We booked this place through one of those «travel» websites. Our decision based solely on price, won’t make that mistake again. We booked a 3 bed suite to accomodate 6 people and when we checked in we were told we were «upgraded» to two rooms instead. It was an upgrade because it was now 4 beds and two washrooms. Needles to say, if this was an upgrade I’d hate to how bad the lower grade room was. This place was that bad that neither of us sleep under the bed covers after checking the mattresses and discovering holes and stains all over them, we didn’t even use their pillows but instead sleep fully dressed on top of the covers curled up at one end of each bed and at 5 AM bolted out of there like the place was on fire. To add to the pictures I uploaded, the carpet was suppose to be blue with gold/​tan diamonds but was instead nearly completely black with the pattern barely visible through the dirt, not a place to remove your shoes. The washroom windows only had one side frosted/​smoked so other buildings could see into the shower, only a problem if one is brave enough to actually shower there. Nether room had any towels or face cloths and the TV’s in both rooms were missing the remotes, not really a problem for us considering the other problems and lack of time we spent actually in the room.
Long story short, this place should be labelled a roach motel and shut down for health concerns.

With all respect to Susie C. (who has posted the only other review of the Admiral Inn)… I think you’ve mistaken the name of the place where you stayed. The Admiral Inn has NO hot tubs, it could possibly be considered comfortable by someone who was used to sleeping on cold wet gravel, and the only way the word «historical» comes to my mind is because I wish this hotel were relegated to history and torn down.
It’s my guess you stayed at the Sterling Inn and Spa and confused the names… if you had stayed at the Admiral there would be NO doubt in your mind. It’s just awful.

Staying at this hotel was like taking a step back in time. The walls were thin, the hair dresser in the bathroom was probably the same model Marylin Monroe used, and the carpet was something out of the early 1900’s… maybe. But all in all it was a beautiful place to stay. The rooms have hot tubs in them, the beds are comfortable, and it’s close to all the sites. The hotel has a great historical feel to it. I would probably stay here again if I ever got the opportunity to go back to Niagara Falls.
