Colonial House Motor Inn

Do not recommend this place. Stayed one night and ended up sleeping with bugs in the bed that bit me to the point I could not sleep. Owner saw the bites on my body and said I probably had food allergy. Went immediately to doctor and doctor said not a food allergy but most likely bed bug bites. Showed owner video of the bugs but he was dismissive and rude. Refused full refund.

Stopped in Perth last Friday en route to Ottawa from Niagara to check out some camping trailers on the following day. Saw the good reviews and decided to give this place a try. Was pleasantly surprised at how big the room was. We had a single queen bed with a sofa. Every surface was clean, including the sofa upholstery and TV remote (the kind with one continuous surface, easy to wipe clean). Even the rim under the counter of the undermount bathroom sink was spotless! Bath/shower enclosure was one-piece acrylic - again, easy to keep clean. You can never be too clean in this age of Covid. Since we had to leave after work on Friday, it was nearly 11pm when we finally pulled in. We called ahead around 9pm to tell them we will be late. He said no problem. He'll wait up for us. Check-in was a breeze. Everything was contact-less. By the way, the bed was firm but very comfy and the sheets were crisp. Can't say that for a lot of motels. Bonus: no smell whatsoever in the room when we first walked in. No bad smell or mustiness, but also no overwhelming air freshener smell either. That means there is nothing nasty to cover up, also a good sign. I just can't get over how large the room was. Although the motel was right on Hwy 7, we slept like babies and weren't bothered by any road/truck noise at all. The only thing we can't comment on was the air-conditioning because the night was cool enough that we didn't need to turn on the air-conditioner, which was at the back of the room tucked away in an alcove. All in all, it was a pleasant experience, and we have already booked it again for another night in August. One potential downside (for some travellers) is that no pets are allowed, which on the other hand, could be reassuring for people who have allergies.
