The June Motel Sauble Beach

We’re from Alberta and had watched the Motel Makeover show, and I kept it in the back of my mind to make a side trip to Sauble Beach to stay at the June the next time we were visiting family in southern Ontario. The June did not disappoint. We were blessed with fabulous weather in early October so even got to have oysters and wine poolside. All the staff were very friendly, our waitress at Heydays took care of us for the two days we were there (sorry I didn’t get her name, but she had long dark hair). Also a shoutout to Heydays, the food was delicious, the pork loin with roasted grapes was amazing. Now we are on our way to stay a couple nights at the June Beaver Valley.

We had a wonderful time at the June. The service and food are incredibly good. The rooms are pretty but need some updating. There are still remnants on The Knights Inn that could be more functional - doors, bathroom fan, etc. The evening fires, live music, happy hour and breakfast service are truly special moments to share with your family or friends. And we absolutely loved having a hammock on our balcony. Very unique. We would definitely consider coming back again next summer.

My family spent the weekend here (13 of us, 6 rooms) and had a great time making memories. The weather wasn’t the best, but the hotel staff went above and beyond to make our stay a great one. We had yoga on the pool deck instead of the beach which made it so much better given the weather. The pool was heated so even though the temperature was cold, we still swam and enjoyed many laughs. We were able to gather in the lobby to play cards and listen to music on records which was so cool. All 13 of us enjoyed drinks/oysters in the afternoon and dinner at night at Heydays the restaurant on property. Hailey was our waitress and she was so kind, patient and friendly. We enjoyed a nice fire in between rain drops on Saturday night. The place was decorated nicely and provided for many great photos together. The rooms were well equipped and had a 70s vibe which we all loved (simple but classy). It was so nice that we could spend time together but still have our own space. All the staff at the hotel were very friendly and accommodating. I highly recommend this motel if you are looking for a unique, friendly environment that has extra touches (like s’mores for the fire)

I decided to write a review because I was really surprised at the negative reviews on tripadvisor. I chalk it up to people not realizing at the end of the day even with all the hype, influencers photos and VIBE, it's STILL a motel and should be treated as such. We stayed at the June Motel in Sauble beach for their last (thanksgiving) weekend. You will get an email to check in online, I highly recommend this because they will text you to let you know if your room is ready early. Of course, for most of us who are driving in, we're all aiming to get in for a 4:00PM check in so usually by the time they let you know, you won't get there early.||The lobby was super cute and wee were swiftly checked in by their very friendly and approachable staff. We were offered a welcome drink (a rose) and if you don't drink, they do have some 100% alcoholic-free options. ||We had room 110 which is on the bottom floor, the terrace was great because you could easily walk to the fire pits, pool or lobby. The room was sparsely furnished and decorated but it was very comfortable. When you arrive at a basic motel, the room always feels grimy even if it looks clean but when we stepped into our room at the June, it felt and smelled very clean. The mini fridge was a nice touch but there's no tables so it would be hard to work or eat in the room. ||The bathroom was very basic, but honestly it had ample counter space, the towels were plentiful and clean. I did not shower during their peak times so it was always hot and had good pressure. We did notice a sewage smell with the sink but this could be due to the septic. The toiletries were really nice and great quality.||The radiator and fridge was LOUD. It was so loud, I could hear the neighbors radiator. However, if you enjoy white noise, it should not bother you. There was a very small tv with a roku system. Pro-tip: Our remote ran out of batteries, but you can download the roku app and use their virtual remote which worked great.||I was afraid that if we were here the last weekend we may not get all the amenities they promised. Luckily, they offered everything they advertised. Every night, there were cozy fires with smores kits and blankets. Every morning, there was a nice spread of pastries, fruits, yogurt, hot water and coffee. The pastries were delicious. No hot food, but honestly, the breakfast was a great start to the morning. It's enough to get the day started!||The pool is not very big, but it was heated and we even went for a dip in October! It's cold but not too bad when you're in the water. You can bring a water bottle for your water (they have water on the deck with plastic cups), but you will need to order food and drinks with heydays. Sometimes they will come and bring you a menu so you don't even have to go to the bar. The pool deck was really nice and enjoyable.||Heydays (restaurant) was very good. The staff were friendly, the food came out fast and the food was very good. It took a lot of effort NOT to eat at heydays because we thought it was the best food around. ||We came during low season so the price was about half of peak season (plus we also got a last minute deal). I can see why people that come during peak season will feel that it's not worth the money, but then again it's peak season. Everything around will be priced accordingly. I bet in the summer the beach is outstanding, and it's only steps away with so many cute shops around. When you go during low season there is not too much around that is open and thus everything around is priced accordingly. Sure, you can probably save half the cost if you stay at one of the local motels around but it's probably not as nice but it depends on what is more important to you.||We really enjoyed our stay and thought the staff were great.

Great boutique Motel! Was there for a wedding and it was the perfect venue. Beautifully decorated rooms, clean and fresh. Back porch hammock is a great touch. The service was amazing and took care of all our needs. Heydays restaurant was amazing and pays attention to dietary restrictions. Highly recommend if staying at Sauble Beach!

What an amazing place from start to finish. Accommodation is amazing, classy and comfortable with a patio and walk straight across to the pool, outdoor bar and restaurant and reception / lounge area where you can also have a drink.||Pool arearea with loungers, drink service was a treat. Oyster hour in the restaurant where we indulged in 24 oysters in a single sitting, fresh and creamy. Outdoor dining/bar area was romantic in the evening, relaxing with good food.||A special treat is the separate help yourself coffee, cereal, pastries for breakfast was a great idea right next to an area that has fire-pits. Evenings were great sitting around an open fire with s'mores being toasted.||This was an anniversary getaway and the complimentary bottle of champagne awaiting us in the bar fridge and a personal card was also a special touch.||Thank you to all the staff for a great weekend.

We had such an amazing visit at The June Motel! The retro-chic vibe and cozy atmosphere made it the perfect getaway. Our room was stylish & comfortable, and full of thoughtful touches. A special shoutout to Hayden, who went above and beyond. She helped us start a fire and even took photos of us by it, which made the evening extra special. The staff overall were so friendly and welcoming, making us feel right at home. Heydays and the lobster roll is a must visit. If you’re looking for a unique and memorable stay, The June Motel is definitely the place. We can’t wait to come back!

Our stay at the June was excellent! From the moment Hayden checked us in she made us feel comfortable and very attentive with the complimentary beverage to making sure we were warm by the fire. We will definitely stay at the June again in the future as it's definitely a Gem on our stay list.

Girls day out. We booked 2 nights. This place is newly renovated. You will be greeted with a glass of rose wine when you checked in. The staff are very friendly. Fire ban in effect in Ontario so there is no bonfire. The weather was cold but they have a heated pool from 8am-8pm. Free breakfast from 8-10am. I loved the bed and the towels, quality linens. Rooms are cleaned everyday.They have a casual fine dining restaurant with a patio, open to the public.
