The Spotlight on Blue Jay Motel

Easygoing Budget Base Near Peterborough’s Music Scene

Modern convenience meets small-town charm at the Blue Jay Motel, located just 10 km from downtown Peterborough. This low-key, affordable motel is a favorite for concert-goers looking for a quiet night’s sleep after a loud evening out. With free Wi-Fi, 24-hour front desk, and in-room essentials like a microwave and fridge, it’s a no-fuss option with everything you need for a music-filled getaway.

Set just a short drive from both nature and nightlife, the motel is a peaceful retreat after the show ends.

Why Concert-goers love it

The Blue Jay Motel is just a 10-minute drive from downtown Peterborough, giving you quick access to local venues without staying in the middle of the late-night noise. The 24-hour front desk makes late arrivals after an encore no problem, and the motel’s quiet location is ideal for recharging post-show. Plus, with free parking and nearby parks, it’s a great base for road-tripping music fans.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends looking for an affordable spot with easy parking
  • Solo travelers catching a once-in-a-lifetime show
  • Couples planning a low-key concert weekend
  • Fans seeking peace and quiet after a high-energy night
  • Budget-conscious music lovers who’d rather spend on tickets than lodging

Food and Drink Options

While the motel doesn’t have on-site dining, each room includes a microwave and fridge, making late-night snacks easy. BBQ facilities in the garden are great for DIY dinners before heading out. And since it’s close to downtown, local diners and late-night eateries are just a short ride away.

Nightlife Options

Though the motel itself is quiet, you’re never far from action. Head into downtown Peterborough (10 minutes by car) for live music bars, lounges, and pubs featuring local talent. Afterward, retreat back to your calm, countryside room for some well-earned rest.

What People Say

Guests appreciate the cleanliness, friendly staff, and great value. Many mention the quiet, safe atmosphere and the convenience of in-room amenities like a fridge and microwave. The proximity to Peterborough without the downtown prices gets plenty of praise.

Areas for Improvement

This is a no-frills motel, so don’t expect luxury extras or modern décor. Some guests mention the rooms are a bit dated, and there’s no restaurant on-site—but for the price, most say it’s a solid deal.

The Bottom Line

If you’re looking for a budget-friendly, peaceful place to crash after a concert in Peterborough, the Blue Jay Motel hits all the right notes.

Wonderful experience!

Liked: Stayed here two nights with my son and would definitely recommend it. The beds were super comfy and the a/c was cold. The water pressure was great with no shortage of hot water. Yes, it's an older property but the owners keep the grounds and rooms meticulous. This is a family run business who go above and beyond to make sure your stay is as perfect as possible. I took time to chat with a couple of the family members. They are a lovely family who've been in the community for several decades and take pride in their establishment. Thank you for making our trip extra special!

A great value for what...

Liked: The location is just outside of Peterborough, this helps keeps the price low. The grounds were relaxing and places to sit outside were a bonus. The owner operator of the motel provided cold bottles of water on our arrival, that's a bonus. The rooms also had bottled water, when you stay at a high-end hotel bottled water isn't free. I chatted with the owners, and they are very friendly.
Disliked: I don't smoke and all the rooms had chairs outside, which is nice, but they have ashtrays since it's a no smoking motel. Smoking outside is great except that your neighbor smokes one door down and you can't use the screen door or open the window for fresh air when people smoke. The hotel is older and met my expectations but the bed for me wasn't the most comfortable.
