Comments

We are happy to hear from our guests... especially after they have had a pleasant stay with us! Here are a few of the comments our guests have left for us.

After spending 5 weeks on the road and staying in many different hotels/motels in B.C. and Toront, this would have to the best accommodations/room for the $ that we have found.  I compliment the managers and owners on a beautiful establishment.

Guests for Western Austrailia

This is a wonderful room.  Thank you so much for your hospitality. Jim & Brenda, you have a beautiful quiant place here-your hard work shows.

Guests from Sherwood Park, AB. Nov 2011

Every so often in life we find a real treasure while traveling.  After having been to many motels & hotels in North America & Europe, we have now discovered this beautiful jem.  This room, # 7, is comfortable, spotless and spacious, and the spa tub is the best. We will be recommending it anyone who is passing through Cornwall.  Thanks so much!

Guests from Toronto, Ont. - Sept 2011

We really enjoyed our stay here.  The room was spotless. Love all the flowers and how well kept up everything is. We will highly recommend it.  Thanks for your hospitality.

Guests from Caledonia, Ont. Sept. 2011

We are celebrating our 1 year anniversary today and I couldn't have asked for anything better than this.  A beautiful room with an extremely comfortable bed and awesome tub.  Great setup, VERY clean and affordable.  We will definately stay here for future anniversaries.  Thank so much for your hospitality.

Guests form Cornwall, Ont. - June 2010

We have been to many places and stayed in many hotels and motels.  This is one of our favorites.  Very peaceful nights stay, slept through the night.  Large room, comfortable with a fireplace.  Loved it and will be back again when in the area.

Guests for Campbellville, Ont. - May 2010

 

What a lovely large clean room.  We were so exhausted from driving, what a treat to see your lovely welcoming lights.  Opening the door to our room brought such a sigh of releif.  We certainly will remember this place on our next visit.

Guests from North Bay, Ont. - May 2010

This is the second time staying at First Canada Inns with Jim and Brenda.  I can honestly say without hesitation that I am actually sad to leave this wonderful motel, and these warm and kind hearted people.  Luckily I will soon be here again.  High kudos to Jim and Brenda.

Steve Santini - April 2010

 

This is our fourth time staying in your lovely motel.  The rooms are clean, bright and comfortable. The front lawn has a beautiful park setting that we enjoyed very much.  We will definately be returning.

Guests from Gatineau, Qc - April,2010

 

This place is great!  I wish there were more places like this around.  This motel is so much better than every other motel chain we've been to so far.  Thank you.

Guests from Ottawa, Ont. - Mar,2010

 

It was a real pleasure to stay in your motel last night, so spacious, so attractive, so clean and comfortable, and so quiet!

Guests from Ottawa, Ont. -Jan,2009


We had a good sleep in your beautiful motel. My husband was glad that he could work with the wireless internet.

Guest from Austria, Europe - June 21, 2006

 


This has to be one of the best places to stay along the Toronto-Montreal route. A 'special secret corner of tranquility' - all amenities too - wireless NET was a bonus to keep in touch with kids.

Guest from Nova Scotia - June 27, 2006

 


Thank you for accommodating us and greeting us with such kindness and warmth. We felt such a relief to stay in a nice room after a long day of cycling. We will definitely recommend you to others and stay here again next time we pass through!

Guests from Chicago, Illinois and Washington, D.C. - July 6, 2006

 


Thanks for this lovely respite in the middle of a long trip. Your warmth, hospitality, and humour were just what we needed! Good luck with your new motel and we hope you get to retire before you want to or need to!

Guests from Boise, Idaho and Green Valley, Arizona - June 26, 2006

 


I am here to join the Waterfront Regeneration Trust as they complete an end-to-end bicycle tour of the Waterfront Trail (Niagara-On-The-Lake to the Quebec border). Thank you for your wonderful hospitality on my late arrival & the quickly brewed pot of tea - nice touch! Nice room too! Good luck with becoming a booming cycle-tourism destination!

Guest from the Ontario Ministry of Health Promotion Sport & Recreation Branch - June 28, 2006

 


Thanks so much! The turn down service was a nice touch last night after a long shift at the hospital. I have stayed at quite a few motels in town and yours is by far the cleanest and best priced in town. I'll see you again ....maybe soon.

Guest from Gatineau, Quebec - February 4, 2006

 


We stopped on our way to a Perennial Plant conference in Montreal. The lovely railing & homey feel drew us in (as well as the price). Loved having a few laughs at check in. Made us feel part of the "family".

Guest from LaPorte, Indiana - July 15, 2006

 


Visiting family in Cornwall hospital - your compassion and caring is greatly appreciated - when we are in Cornwall in the future, you have new steady clients. You are very professional - and your room & extras are the best.

Guest from Ottawa, Ontario - July 19, 2006

 


Thank you for extending such great hospitality - I felt like I was really "at home". The special touches were really appreciated. The bed was wonderful, the pillows perfect, the fireplace provided that extra touch of warmth that really made my stay perfect! I'll tell my friends.

Guest from Oakville, Ontario - October 20, 2005

 


Toute la famille se plait bien ici avec le frig, la grande salle de bain, la cafetiere, la tele, la balancois et les lits doublets!

Guest from Templemars (Lille), France - 12 Juillet 2006

 


As tour operators we see a lot of hotel/motel rooms. This rates among the best. It is roomy & homey and it is very clean. I'm glad I made the call to find out if you had availability.

Guest from St. Catherines, Ontario - August 5 & 6, 2006

 


Thank you for your very warm & friendly welcome from the time I called to book our room and also upon arrival. You really do treat us like family and we will be back probably at Thanksgiving to attend a family wedding. The Highland Games were great as usual and we are going home winners in Highland dancing.

Guests from Fenwick, Ontario - August 4, 2006

 


After driving all the way from near Grand Falls, New Brunswick to here, it was great to see Jim's smiling face and great welcome! Our room was cool and inviting and the bed was so comfortable. We will recommend this great inn to our friends, neighbors, and relatives assuring them of a great welcome here. P.S. Forgot to mention how nice and clean the room was with lots of space!!!!

Guests from Woodstock, Ontario and Germany, Europe - July 21, 2006

 


This motel is a credit to the motel industry. Both the outside & inside are immaculate; we are so glad we saw it as we drove down the road in search of a place to stay. The Italian restaurant next door which you recommended was 'spot on' - both the service and food were terrific. My husband checked us in and had the pleasure of meeting the manager/owner who I'll refer to as the 'Unknown Comic' because I don't know his name; my husband tells me he was very funny (as in humorous). We will definitely stay here again if you'll have us. P.S. My compliments to the grounds' keeper. Thanks for your hospitality.

About Us

 

 First Canada Inns - Owners, Jim & Brenda Heritage
We wanted a special place - exceptional rooms - but with a homey atmosphere where people could come for a quiet restful night. We love to decorate, garden and make new friends. Our guests are treated like family and we love to hear about their travels and experiences.
Hospitality is what we know, and the Inn is what we have to offer. We strive to please by offering that little bit extra, be it restaurant reservations or a pick up at the train station. When it finally comes time for our guests to check out, we always look forward to seeing them again soon, and hopefully they feel the same way.

First Canada Inns (Cornwall) is owned by Jim and Brenda Heritage. They run a 19 room Inn in the City of Cornwall. Office hours are from 7:00 am to 12 midnight, and the phones are answered 24 hours a day.

Jim's experience in resort management can be traced back 30 years when he ran a property in Buckhorn, Ontario for his parents. In the intervening years, he built a successful real estate career, where he specialized in resorts and cottages. Jim returned to the hospitality industry in 1992 and managed a couple of resorts in the Buckhorn area (just north of Peterborough).

Brenda is a graduate nurse who has been involved in the hospitality industry as well as volunteer work in Peterborough.

In 2004, Jim and Brenda decided to become property owners, and stumbled on this unique property in Cornwall, Ontario. The couple have since renovated the rooms and grounds and have made strong connections in the local hospitality sector. Jim is now on the Board of Directors of Cornwall and Seaway Valley Tourism and Brenda is Treasurer of the Women Entrepreneurs of Cornwall. They are also members of the Cornwall's premiere business organization, the Cornwall and Area Chamber of Commerce.
