Open for now but closing and demolishing will happen next year [2018], according to the owner. These pictures were approved and seemed ok when I said I hope they got a good price. Affordable housing will take it's place. This motel was built probably in the fifties as a commemorative to the Canadian Space Program. The reviews are both good and horrible but all interesting. This motel sits across from the Police Station but that hasn't deterred illegal activity from what I read. I read the rocket will go up for auction but I feel should be incorporated into the new property. Odd barbed wire fence to the Ford dealership next door when the whole front is open. The spelling of the motel is with one "L". A list of reviews are as follows : ........................................

Don't. Just don't. Populated by the lowest common denominator - this motel is in poor repair, and about the worst place to stay in Cambridge. Strangley right across from the police station. Don't. There is no need for anyone to stay here................................I stayed here for a weekend in the No Smoking Room and all l could smell pot ( weed).Not once did l get Maid service come and give us clean towels or make the bed.The lights in the room don't work only one and ,you had to play with the switch for it to come on.burn mark on the tolit set . Not a very nice place..........................................

When I stayed there, a crack head hooker in bare feet was actually going from room to room. The rooms are not clean and the whole ambiance is kind of scary.

The people at the front desk seemed nice and dedicated but with clientele like this, you are fighting a losing battle.

Keep your children away from here..........................................

I read some of the reviews and my stay was just that. My issues were the room had a musky smell, there's no maid service during your stay, the toilet didn't always flush, I found a big black hair in my sheets and also hairs on my towels, the beds weren't pillow topped, the top comforter was cigarette burned and had an odd smell to it, the inside of the refrigerator was broken, there wasn't a good bolt lock on the door, everything was outdated. So absolutely I do not recommend a night's stay here :(..........................

Hi, i just stayed at this motel last night with my fiancee. And first of all that is not at all what their room looks like from their picture, they must of taken it from best western or some other nice Hotel.If you have ever stayed in a motel in Scarbourough,witch i have, THIS IS WORSE THAN THAT!I can't speak for the whole motel, but i can speak for room 15. Im not going to write about every single thing i found wrong about this motel, but i will tell you about the things that bothered me most. First of all the toilet did not flush AT ALL. There was alot of black hair in the bath tub when i went to go for a bath and cigarette burns on the side of the tub. I could not take a bath because the thing you lift to either take a shower/bath does not work, so i showered. The water is warm not hot on full. I smelled the sheets, and it did not smell of detergent or bleach. So i know the blankets/sheets have been used at least once before me withought washing. I didnt sleep well at all, its not comfortable. If your going to stay here do not stay in room 15.Happy trails and i hope this helps people. (if your going to spend money on a HUGE rocket in front of your motel, i think you can afford a plumber)..................................................Horrible service. Person who answered the phone seemed to be irritated that I disturbed his sleep. Couldn't tell me if he had any rooms and hung up the phone.....................................No frills but if u need a place to sleep it'll serve the purpose..................................stayed there a week. Went to the mall to buy disinfectant had to clean the room before I even brought anything into it. Had police kick down the door next door and arrest people there next night there was ambulance taking someone away but they were dressed in protective gear and breathing masks. They sent cleaners into clean when I asked them not to and they ended up leaving my door unlocked 3 times after being told not to clean my room. Used plastic over the bed sheets and blanket was grose. Bad internet. Cable tv. Power went out and was out almost 12 hours and they had nothing to say about it. Smoke smell in non smoking rooms. Lighting is poor. Reminded me of bates motel. Sadly I would rather of stayed at bates motel.........................................here is no satellite TV here LOL The internet is from the stone ages. Bring your own light bulbs. The non-smoking is a joke because the smoke next door gets in the room through the bathroom pipes and heat vent. I'm allergic to the pot smoke too! The mini fridge doesn't work properly. The maintenance doesn't know how to do plumbing. I could do a better job. Put some pipe tape on the shower connect so it doesn't squirt all over the place LOL. The bathroom faucet is broken. LOL The rug is filthy and moldy and smells like rotten food. Bedbugs??? It's cheap so you only get what you pay for right?.............................Good size for cheap motel but bed had burn holes and stains...............................Room was way to hot and no heat was on........................................DO NOT STAY HERE WORST PLACE EVER DRUG ADDICTS CRACK HEADS, HOOKERS ALSO DIRT ON THE FLOOR ......................My daughter had a baby a month early...i came as fast as i could but well i got stranded with no rooms to rent in kitchener or waterloo so i came here to cambridge half sleeping like a zombie. In the middle of the night i got rejected by 6 hotels for having a prepaid credit card...still i hoped to get a room. This was 4am these ppl at the Satellite Hotel got up and took care of us no problems about immediately getting a room for us without a credit card., cash only plus let us sleep that morning and didnt start charging for the room untill 11pm with a discount on a second night to rest.
Thete all good in my book.
I slept so well in my huge room i didnt here one hooker.😂.........................There is a pokestop right out front by the giant rocket. I've also been able to catch a Lapras, Electabuzz, Cubone, and various other Pokemon in the immediate area...................No running water in the sink................Excellent......................OK I'm gonna tell everyone this and hopefully you will find a better place to stay in so any wayes why do I say that well lets see the staff is really rude especially on the phone and there is a lot of drug trafking going on in the hotel so just imagine what kind of people stay there um I stay in a lot of places I tavill alott and this place was an a embaresment the staff is rude the rooms are just filled with dirt and I'm but yeah I'll telling all friends that don't ever book here so being sead that I think it's time to close your doores cuz a place like that with alott of drug use I think that hotell makes all the other hotels look bad so yeah I think u would more money just ripping it down acculay do Cambridge a favor and close u doores and if the owner was serus about this place things should be done but they don't soo again just amagin what they are like but ya hope this helps those who are looking to spend money at a hotell I would not ever spend nothing here I think it's worth 2$ a night and 10$ a weeke but yeah go some ware els ware there are no crack heads noo Meath users and noo hookers but if you like all that this is the place for u cheap ...................For the price, it is worth it..............Rooms are very clean.
