Super 8 Guelph Kitchener Waterloo Area

This Motel doesn’t look like much from the outside, but the room was tidy and pleasant to look at (they seem to have fixed the pillow issue, I had about 5 on my bed). There seemed to be a shortage of outlets — a fridge and microwave next to the desk meant that the lamp was unplugged, and there was nowhere for me to plug my laptop. I unplugged the microwave to plug it in.
Anyhow everything seemed ok (and so cheap!) until night fell and I tried to sleep. The noise! I wondered if I was on top of a boiler room or something, with all of the whooshing and humming. The fridge would come on with a roar as well. A couple of times, I got up to look out the window, expecting to see a tractor-​trailer idling outside, but no — there was no apparent explanation, just noise noise noise noise. After an early morning, a long drive, a full day at a conference, and knowing I’d go through it all again the next day, this was *not* what I needed!

Bring your own pillow.
The sorry excuse they call a pillow here doesn’t even deserve the name. I could have folded up a pair of jeans and it would have been more comfortable to sleep on.
The room I was in was drab, old, and in moderate to poor condition. The walls are thin. I could hear the people in the next room having sex quite clearly, then later they had a party that started around 3 am and went to about 9 am. Good times.
