The June Motel, Prince Edward County

We had such a wonderful stay at The June Motel! From the complimentary glass of rosé at check-in to the warm, friendly staff, everything felt special and thoughtfully done. The room was spotless and full of fun retro charm.||Breakfast was another highlight—the fresh scones were absolutely delicious. Took our breakfast back to enjoy on our balcony. ||You can tell the team here really cares about the guest experience, and it shows. ||While it’s not in the middle of downtown, the location still worked for us.

I cannot thank the team at The June enough for their exceptional service and hospitality during our recent retreat. From the beautifully designed rooms and meeting spaces to the amazing selection of teas, everything exceeded our expectations. The surroundings were absolutely breathtaking, providing the perfect backdrop for our time there. A special thank you to the caring and helpful staff who went above and beyond to ensure our needs were met. You truly made us feel at home and supported every step of the way. We are especially grateful for the team’s flexibility in opening the venue off-season just for us and for providing the meeting room and all the extra touches that made our stay so memorable. Everyone is still reminiscing about the fantastic experience, and we are deeply appreciative of how the June team made our retreat such a success. You all went the extra mile, and we are forever grateful for your kindness and professionalism! Thank you once again for making this such an unforgettable experience!

We absolutely loved our stay at The June Motel. From the moment we arrived, everything felt warm and welcoming. The complimentary glass of rosé at check-in was such a fun and nice touch. Our room was spotless, super cozy, and full of retro charm with modern comfort. Can’t beat a sunset view from bed or enjoying a scone and coffee on the balcony for breakfast.

We had such a great experience at The June! We booked our trip last minute and couldn’t get a room to stay over, but we really wanted to check it out anyways as we’re huge fans of the Netflix show Motel Makeover! We went for a drink and Dustin was the bartender and he made our time at the June a 10/10! We even were lucky enough to meet Sarah (owner, and from the show). If you’re going for a girls weekend, a stop either overnight or just for a drink is a must at The June!

Biked to sandbanks beach from the motel with our kids, spent time relaxing on-site and went into town (Picton) for dinners. All three staff members that we met anticipated our needs before we even articulated them, and the atmosphere around the campfire at night brought me back to my days travelling in Europe (and staying at hostels where I met the sweetest/coolest people). The cleaning crew even notified us (within 30 mins of us checking out) that we’d forgotten our favourite Bible and offered to mail it home to us 🫶🏽. As great as the accommodations and light brekky are, what made this place extra special for us was the friendliness-level of the folks we met at the June (and in town). Highly recommend if you just want to unwind, live a simple life for a while and travel on nature-covered roads. In the future, I’d wanna bring our motorcycles, stop somewhere with live music, go on a hike nearby, go to the drive-in theatre (July/August) and/or take photos of the trees around here (in the Fall).

Nice quaint hotel. Bed was on the smaller size and the hotel is farther from Picton than we realized, 30 minute walk. The staff were outstanding and the firepit was perfect. The bar was great and there were quality drinks on site.

There aren’t many places to stay in Picton unfortunately and this motels location is meh. Right on the road and nothing nearby walking distance. This motels location could be so much more, especially when the prices are similar to 5 star hotels. The room we stayed in had dirty sheets and the floor was disgusting. The rooms arent very clean and my recommendation would be to just… stay elsewhere. Definitely not worth all the hype. Sad because we wanted to love this place and came twice to give benefit of the doubt (2023 & 2024)… waste of money.

Really lovely place. Great attention to detail and the lady who welcomed us was very kind and informative. Beautiful clean room. Lovely bar and garden with fire pit. Be aware you need to drive from here if you are going out for dinner in Picton. Taxis are not readily available to and from the town and I think it would take about an hour to walk. |The only disappointment was breakfast which was a muffin, yogurt and choice of an apple or orange . A wider range of fresh fruit and pastries would I have been nice. |The complimentary wine on arrival was really nice and the s’mores packages for the camp fire were just lovely! ||If you have someone to drive you around the winery’s then this is a lovely place to stay.

The decor of this motel is super adorable and the staff is super friendly. We got the rose suite so upon arrival we got. A. Glass of. Complimentary rose which was nice. I'm giving this place a 3 instead of 5 because it is VERY expensive, like double the price of motels actually on the water and that's just because it's been on TV. This motel has no pool and no ice machine, because of these 3 reasons I don't think it's worth the price. The bugs outside were also VERY BAD which is to be expected but they are attracted to light and there's no option to turn off outside light so everytime we opened the door at least 100 bugs would fly in! Adorable decor, friendly staff , Complimentary s'mores and bonfire each night. Broken tv, no pool, expensive No ice machine

Welcome to the June Motel! The Instagramable friendly motel, which we were definitely influenced to check our after watching the Motel Makeover show on Netflix for their Sauble Beach location. If you're a fan of the show, then it's a must. Also be ready with your phones out to get all the pics! Perfect for a girls trip. Free rose (or non-alcoholic drink) on check-in. The lobby is super cute, but tinier than I had imagined. They also have an outdoor space with a fire where you can enjoy smores in the evening. It was smokey and rainy during our stay, so we did not use the area. Options for contactless check-in and check-out, with lots of text reminders. Check-in is at 4pm with no options to check-in earlier (we tried though!) The place was not that busy when we were there, but I imagine it could get pretty loud and busy in peak season. The room is definitely cute! All the essentials included, including the best body oil. Beds were ok and the noise machine was a nice touch. It's a bit of a splurge for a hotel room, but definitely check it out if you want to try out something different! Looking forward to checking out the Sauble Beach location in the future!

What can I say, the rosé all day vibe just isn't for me. There is something about a trendy business that thinks it's so precious that feels to empty and depressing. Too much money for what this is, looking for a more warm and personable stay for my next trip.

This motel was a cute spot to stay in PEC. It was central (close to downtown Picton), super clean and had contactless check in and check out. There was complimentary wine cans in the fridge and a very nice communal space with a fire pit. The staff communicated with us through text and they were very prompt to respond if we had a question. All communication with staff was done through text but it still felt personable. One of the reasons I was drawn to booking at this place was the decor. I loved how they designed the rooms and the care they book into the local products they supported through the body care and hair care. Another feature: the June motel teamed up with a local coffee shop so every morning, we would grab free lattes, on the house. It was a nice surprise. I only have one reservation. The walls are thin. On the first day, there was a large group in either the room beside us or above us and we couldn't sleep because they were loud. I would bring ear plugs.

Over promised and underdelivered. This is a motel first and foremost. The Art Deco trim work and embroidered pillows do not cover the some annoying and inconvenient truths. It is noisy. The walls are paper thin and as such you could hear every cough and comment from those next door. Above room number 2 we were treated to 1:00am to 2:30am tap dancing show turned track and field meet. The white noise machine (that should be the foreshadowing of the evening to come) did not stand a chance against this bedlam. Your best travel companion for the June ... industrial quality earplugs. You would think that your premium rate, outrageously high considering you are staying at a 60 year old RedRoof with pink doors, would come with a high level of customer service. Guess again. A call to the front desk goes unanswered. They prefer, insist, that you communicate with them via email and text. I imagine you can see a trend in this review by now. If you are blessed with personal interaction it is to have bestowed upon you their premium "rules". No personal drinks (pop included) on the limited patio. They don't want to miss the opportunity to gouge a little more money to purchase another embroidered pillow or white noise maker. Perhaps they could throw some cash toward a mat for the bathroom floor. Oh, by the way, one car per room please. But, if you happen to have someone join you with their own vehicle, the June has a convenient arrangement for parking a mile (1.6km) down the road. Enjoy your walk back along the highway dragging your suitcases. Summary, Pink lipstick on this pig.

Extremely overpriced for what it is. The room was musty, the sink did not drain, and the toilet did not flush properly. The septic system malfunctioned and had to be pumped steps from our door. Needless to stay, it smelled like sh*t. Staff were indifferent and cold. We expressed our extreme discontent at the various issues and were given a $20 bottle of wine and some truffles as a consolation. Tip to management: a double bed is no longer an acceptably sized bed for 2 people - let alone 2 double beds for 4 people in one small room at nearly $400/night. Get it together, please.

Honestly I was reminded of my stay here when I saw the new netflix show... I can't express to you how overpriced this motel is for what it actually is. Sure it has some cute design features however, structurally you can hear everything through the paper thin walls. The beds are not only tiny but they are uncomfortable - none of us got a good nights sleep. The floors are so creaky and old that you wake up the other person walking to the bathroom. The air conditioning was poor as well.. just so many flaws that a cute design doesn't make up for! There was a big sewage truck directly in front of our room one morning.. hardly glamorous or instagram worthy. I wish I had read reviews before I stayed. My friends and I couldn't believe we paid for that experience. This is my honest review of the two nights I was there.

Yes, this is a motel! It reminded me of a chilled, hipster motel on the beach of south Cali with its modern interior decor. Renewed from its traditional motel setting the owners of this place did it right! Set in tranquil Prince Edward County overlooking the Lake On The Mountain this place sits in the midst of cottage country. A taste of modern Bohemia in the 'country'. Where it's neighbours are, wineries, breweries and a National Park. The set back is that there is no full service dining. Staged similar to a hostel where the lobby has a cozy couch do seating, bar area and a fire pit --all communal style the bar menu is more extensive than the food menu. There are pop up events otherwise, food is a drive away. Check-In is super friendly and you can't help but chat away with the staff and those that are in the lobby. You can't help but notice cute wine decors everywhere and think...GIRLS WEEKEND--perfect for the ladies who does not want to rough it! A great place to unwind with good wine and good vibes! Cheers!

My four friends and I spent two nights in honor of my bachelorette in the largest suite they offer and we were expecting a lot more. The room was cute but the beds weren't very comfortable and only one room got air circulation. The charcuterie we ordered for arrival was pretty good but needed more crackers. The biggest disappointment was that the fire pit closed every night by 10pm at the latest, or so we were told, only to see that they kept it going until 10:30 for some guests. We bought water in the lobby the first day without issue and when we went back to buy more on Day 2 we were told that we should never have been sold the water by the other girl working there, as they were only for yoga classes held there. As a result, I tried drinking a club soda that I had bought, on their patio/deck area, only to be told (quite rudely) that I had to leave as I wasn't allowed to consume any outside food or drink. They were also super annoyed about making any of us coffee in the morning, yet failed to replace all Nespresso pods except two, when they cleaned the room. I will say that there was one employee, Carrie, who greeted us at check-in that was awesome and gave us wonderful tips for enjoying the county, including directions to a private beach nearby. She also pre-arranged for a cab service to pick us up for dinner. If only she had been there more! The rest of the staff seemed like they disliked working there. Overall, I'm sad to say that the Instagram spread doesn't match reality. I doubt I'd ever stay there again.

I am so pleased and happy to write this review. My good friend and I have been wanting to come to the June ever since we saw that an early Instagram post. We've been following the two ladies who opened this very very cute millennial aimed Motel since it opened. With all of the many basic girls it's seem to go here and the Instagram influencers making their post we were more and more nervous leading up to our stay this past weekend. Although we had high expectations we also had low expectations in order to not be disappointed by her stay. However our expectations were met and exceeded. The staff, especially Jenna, were absolutely amazing. So warm, genuine and down-to-earth. We would sit in the lobby and just have a chat together multiple times a day. Jenna was great and offering suggestions of what to do and gave honest opinions on ideas that we pitched her. The room itself was exactly on point the beds were comfortable and the room had all the amenities that we needed. You have to keep in mind that this was an old motel so soundproofing was not exactly a thing and there was a bachelorette party above us so Saturday night was a bit noisy. Since there's not really any nightlife in the nearby towns, it was great that the motel had an outdoor space with a gas fireplace music and drink options so that you could just hang out near your room. All the cute little details and touches and the communication style ( you can just text the Lobby) were really appreciated. I would definitely recommend this place to stay and hope to one day be able to come back.

We were looking forward to our stay here to celebrate my mother's 70th birthday. However, the attendants at front desk were extraordinarily unfriendly and unwelcoming when we went to check in. They seemed annoyed with any question I had, my mother was in a lot of pain and I wanted to find a massage parlour in Picton. They told me there weren't any, which isn't true and suggested I go to Belleville. The manager case later to clean our air consisting unit and apologized when I told her our experience thus far. She said Kaleigh and Braedyn are in training. Nonetheless, a pleasant smile and a warm disposition should come naturally and for these two ladies they do not!! We've travelled extensively and we have not encountered such unwelcoming people In reception before this stay. Also, the walls are exceptionally thin. We were in room 7. I'd suggest requesting an upstairs room cause you can hear every footstep or better yet, stay elsewhere. This motel isn't inexpensive, there are plenty of better options!!!

We were very lucky to find this darling gem this weekend while visiting pec. We stayed in June's charming 'Rosé Room' and it was at most definitely a perfect set up. Lots of room, a large balcony patio perfect for catching some serious sparkling sunsets on the water. We were greeted with a glass of Rosé (of course) upon checking in and the grounds and rooms are picture perfect to say the least. Every chic detail has been taken care of by these very down to earth ladies, they have thought of it all in a very eco-friendly fashion. The mood is set for r n r in every way. They have a daily happy hour for guests to enjoy visits from local artists and foodies if you fancy a join. They have an impressive selection of wine and bubbles on call to make your stay even sweeter and some tasty treats to pair with. Everything was stylishly designed and meticulously fresh and clean. We honestly felt so at home and look forward to our next excuse to come back. Kindest thanks from a grateful June & Gary!
