Doesn't look very impressive from the outside as is a converted motel. However, hotel rooms have all standard amenities of any Best Western (super comfy beds). What makes this location stand out, in addition to the lovely and friendly staff, is the cuisine at the on-site restaurant. Biased by its basic appearance and limited seating, we expected very basic food... More

The room felt like Best Western furniture was stuffed into an old motel room. The room was clean, but smelled a bit like an old motel room. Front desk staff was helpful and pleasant. Unfortunately the dining room wasn't open for dinner, and everything seemed to be either closed or closing in town by 8:00 pm even though several restaurants... More

The hotel (motel really) was really just ok. Everything was pretty average. The rod had 2 big comfortable beds in it, but I chose the one beside the window, (motel) so I heard every noise in the parking lot. I didn't get a very restful sleep as a result, being woken twice in the middle of the night. The rooms... More

Great spot to stay, not far from Apple Dome (15mins). They have a sports rate - ask for it if you're booking for competitions or sports games. You will need to cancel withen 3 days of your event if your plans change. There is a Tim's across the street and it isn't far from the highway. Place is clean, bathroom... More

+ : service and room - : difficulty to sleep because people coming late to their room or leaving early, talking loud or slamming the doors of the room or of their car. Also, even if it is announced as an hotel... it is a motel !

I stayed at the Best Western Aurora for one night and was pleasantly suprised. This motel met my expectations in respect to the room decoration as I had researched the guestrooms prior to reservation on the internet. The photos, although are taken professionally seem to make the rooms look a bit larger than they are but that's the same with... More

The night i arrived there was a large black fly lumbering around inside my room! I know! Just a fly!! But it is October, the... More

Don't let the title of this review scare you off. When we drove up to the hotel, what we saw was the one-level, outside entrance to all rooms, motel. It does have that older motel look, but let me assure you that this hotel was wonderful. It had a complete make-over in 2011. I got a senior discount on the... More

A lot of reviewers have mentionned that from the outside this Best Western is not the most appealling as it is a motel. However, I was pleasently surprised with the rooms, the quality of the service and the general condition of the place! Keep in mind that we are not downtown Toronto so as a traveller we have to adapt... More

I stayed here 2 nights. From the outside, it doesn't look very promising but the rooms have been completely renovated. I had a King size bed, fridge, coffee maker and very nice soaps\shampoos. Continental breakfast is included M-F and it was very good. They had toast, yogurt, muffins, fresh fruits as well as the most amazing mini-quiche. I wouldn't hesitate... More
