Hotels in Trenton Ontario: What We Confirmed

Where to Stay in Trenton: Main Hotels

Trenton has three chain hotels. All three stand close to Highway 401 and Canadian Forces Base Trenton. Each one has its own strengths, so the sections below show the details we found.

Comfort Inn Trenton

The Comfort Inn stands at 51 Monogram Place, Trenton, ON K8V 5P8. Call the hotel at 613-965-6660. The Choice Hotels page lists check-in at 3:00 PM and check-out at 11:00 AM.

The hotel offers a free hot breakfast, a fitness center, an electric vehicle charging station, truck parking, and a meeting room. The building is smoke free. Choice Hotels places the hotel minutes from Loyalist College, near the Trent River and just off Highway 401.

Expedia lists 74 rooms with a refrigerator, a microwave, and a coffee maker in each. Expedia also lists free Wi-Fi, laundry facilities, and a lobby with a fireplace. Pets are allowed in designated rooms only. Both sources mention a pet fee, so ask about the current amount when you reserve.

We found no pool listed, so do not count on one. Pick this hotel if you want a free breakfast and a quiet stop beside the highway.

Travelodge by Wyndham Trenton

The Travelodge stands at 598 Old Highway 2, Trenton, ON K8V 5P5. The phone is 613-965-6789. The Wyndham page did not list check-in or check-out times, so confirm both when you call.

Wyndham lists free Wi-Fi, a daily breakfast, a fitness center, a barbecue area, a business center, and 600 square feet of meeting space. Some suites have a jacuzzi. Standard rooms and suites with refrigerators exist. The hotel is non-smoking and pet friendly, and Wyndham describes the property as newly renovated.

The location sits near Highway 401 and Canadian Forces Base Trenton. Pick this hotel if you want a suite with a jacuzzi or a simple stop for a road trip.

Ramada by Wyndham Trenton

The Ramada stands at 99 Glen Miller Road, Quinte West, ON. Travelocity and Hotels.com both list this address. Check-in starts at 3:00 PM and check-out ends at 11:00 AM. A late check-out option may exist for a fee.

Both sources list 109 rooms. Hotels.com says the rooms spread across three floors and include loft-style suites. Guests can use an indoor pool from 7 AM to 11 PM, and children under 15 need an adult nearby. The hotel also has a fitness center, a business center, and a conference center. Wi-Fi and parking are free.

Pets are allowed with limits. Travelocity lists a weight limit of 25 pounds and a maximum of two pets, dogs and cats only. Confirm the pet rules before you bring an animal.

The two sources disagree on the on-site pub. One source names the pub Peter Pipers and the other names the pub Piper Arms. Hotels.com also says the pub closes Wednesday through Sunday. We could not settle either point, so ask the front desk whether the pub is open on your dates. Guest reviews on Travelocity describe the property as dated. Pick the Ramada if the indoor pool matters most.

Motels in Trenton

Trenton also has small motels. We found fewer details for these properties, and some details come from only one source. Treat every motel listing as unconfirmed until you call.

Bayside Motel

Bayside Motel stands at 554 Old Highway 2 East. The phone is 613-392-9281. The Bay of Quinte tourism site calls the motel family run and says the property overlooks Lake Ontario.

Expedia lists check-in from 3:00 PM to 10:00 PM and check-out at 11:00 AM. The front desk keeps limited hours, from 6 AM to 10 PM, so tell the staff if you plan a late arrival. Rooms include air conditioning, a microwave, a mini-fridge, and a coffee maker. Room types run from a classic queen room to a studio suite for five guests. Guests can use barbecue grills and free parking. Pets are allowed for a fee.

Pick Bayside if you want a small family-run motel and you can arrive before the desk closes.

Guest Inn Motel

Guest Inn Motel stands at 265 Dundas Street East, Trenton, ON K8V 1M1. The phone is 613-392-2566. A Trip.com listing shows 28 rooms with queen, king, double, and studio-with-kitchen layouts. The same listing shows check-in after 3 PM, check-out before 11 AM, and a front desk open all day and night.

The listing also shows free parking, free Wi-Fi, a bar, and electric vehicle charging. Pets are not allowed according to Trip.com. The Bay of Quinte tourism site says the motel has recent renovations.

Several guest reviews on Trip.com raise cleanliness concerns and dispute the renovation claim. Read the latest reviews on two sites and call before you pay. We rate this property as unconfirmed.

Park Motel Trenton

The Bay of Quinte tourism site lists the Park Motel as a motor lodge with kitchenettes and two-bedroom cottages. The phone is 613-392-1251. Trip.com lists the property as Trenton Park Motel with parking and a shared kitchen.

We found no official site, no address, and no check-in times. The two sources also describe the kitchen differently, so ask whether your unit has a private kitchenette. Call the motel to confirm the property is open before you plan around the stay.

Hotels Near Trenton Worth Considering

Two places the old version of this page listed as Trenton hotels sit in other towns. Both can still work as a base if you accept a drive.

Holiday Inn Express and Suites Belleville

This hotel stands in Belleville, not in Trenton. Expedia lists the address as 291 North Front Street, Belleville, ON K8P 3C3. Check-in starts at 3:00 PM and check-out ends at 11:00 AM.

Expedia lists 80 rooms, including one and two bedroom suites and accessible rooms. The hotel offers an indoor pool, a fitness center, free parking, free Wi-Fi, and a free full breakfast served from 6:30 AM to 9:30 AM. We could not find a second source for the amenities, so we rate the details as single source. We also did not source a drive time to Trenton. Check a map for the current route.

The Waring House near Picton

The old version of this page put The Waring House in Glen Ross, just outside Trenton. We could not confirm this. The inn’s own website and a resort directory both list the address as 395 County Road 1, Picton, ON K0K 2T0. The inn lies in Prince Edward County, not in Quinte West.

The inn lists 49 guest rooms across several buildings. These include the Main House, a 19th-century farmhouse called The House Next Door, a restored stone icehouse called The Cottage, Quaker Lodge, and Heritage Lodge. Two restaurants operate on site, the Barley Room Pub and Amelia’s Garden Dining Room. The inn also offers afternoon tea. The resort directory lists the phone as 613-476-7492 and says the resort welcomes pets and operates year round.

The inn sits on the Millennium Trail and near Sandbanks Provincial Park, according to its website. Choose the Waring House if you want a country inn stay in Prince Edward County. Do not choose the inn as a base near the Trenton waterfront.

Hotels Near the National Air Force Museum of Canada

The National Air Force Museum of Canada stands at 220 RCAF Road, Astra, ON K0K 3W0, on the grounds of 8 Wing Trenton. Call the museum at 613-965-7223. The museum lists more than 35 aircraft, 75,000 square feet of display space, and a 16-acre air park. Exhibits include the Avro Arrow story and the RCAF Memorial Airpark. The museum is accessible, with wheelchairs and scooters on site.

Hours change by season. The museum site lists daily hours from 10 AM to 5 PM from May to September. From October to April the museum opens Wednesday through Sunday. Last admission is at 4:30 PM. Check the museum site before your visit because hours may change.

The museum sits on the base. The hotels along Old Highway 2 and Glen Miller Road lie in the same Trenton area. We did not source drive times, so check a map for the route from your hotel.

Things to Do Near Your Trenton Hotel

Trenton works well as a base for waterway and park trips. Here are the sourced options.

Trent-Severn Waterway Lock 1

Lock 1 at 155 Highway 33 in Trenton marks the start of the 386 km Trent-Severn Waterway from Lake Ontario to Georgian Bay. Builders completed the lock between 1908 and 1912. Parks Canada lists the lock at 49.9 meters long and 9.7 meters wide, with an average lift of 5.4 meters.

Visitors find washrooms, picnic areas, drinking water, and interpretive plaques. Boaters can moor overnight for up to five nights. Call 613-392-3334 for current operating details. One Parks Canada page says the site is not part of the current season program, so confirm access before you go.

Presqu’ile Provincial Park

Presqu’ile Provincial Park stands at 328 Presqu’ile Parkway in Brighton. Ontario Parks lists a 2.5 km sandy beach, 16 km of trails, and a one-kilometer marsh boardwalk. The park lists Ontario’s second oldest operating lighthouse and 338 recorded bird species. Day use runs all year in 2026. Camping runs from April 24 to October 26, 2026. Dogs are not allowed on the beach.

Brighton is a separate town. Check a map for drive times from your hotel.

Bay of Quinte and Local Trips

The Bay of Quinte tourism site lists Batawa Ski Hill and the waterway as nearby draws. Wikipedia notes walleye fishing, nine golf courses, and Lake Ontario Waterfront Trail access. Prince Edward County lies nearby with vineyards and beaches. Confirm each attraction’s season before you plan a day around the visit.

Getting to Trenton

Trenton sits beside Highway 401. Highway 401 crosses the Trent River north of town. The museum site places Trenton about two hours from Toronto and about three hours from Ottawa. Drive times vary with traffic.

Via Rail serves Trenton Junction with limited service to Toronto, Ottawa, and Montreal, according to Wikipedia. Check the Via Rail schedule before you plan a rail trip.

How to Choose a Hotel in Trenton Ontario

Families should start with the Ramada. The indoor pool gives children a place to burn energy. Call to confirm pool hours and the pub schedule.

Travelers who want a free breakfast should compare the Comfort Inn and the Travelodge. Both list a free breakfast. The Holiday Inn Express in Belleville also lists a full breakfast.

Pet owners can find options at the Comfort Inn, the Travelodge, the Ramada, and Bayside Motel. Each one sets its own rules and fees. Ask about weight limits and room types before you arrive. Guest Inn does not allow pets according to Trip.com.

Travelers with a longer stay may like a unit with a kitchen. Guest Inn lists studio rooms with a kitchen, and the Park Motel lists kitchenettes. Confirm kitchen details by phone.

Late arrivals should note the Bayside front desk hours. The desk closes at 10 PM. Guest Inn lists a front desk open all day and night.

Before you pay, confirm the property name on the building, the cancellation policy, parking, breakfast hours, and the total with taxes and fees. Compare the total on two booking sites and by phone.

What We Checked and What We Could Not

We checked Comfort Inn details against Choice Hotels and Expedia. We checked the Travelodge against the Wyndham site and the Bay of Quinte tourism site. We checked the Ramada against Travelocity and Hotels.com. We checked the Waring House against its own website and a resort directory. We took museum details from the museum site, lock details from Parks Canada, and park details from Ontario Parks.

We could not confirm current rates, the Ramada pub name and schedule, or most details for the Park Motel and Guest Inn. Bayside, Guest Inn, and Holiday Inn Express details rest on one detailed source each. We dropped the old Quinte West Sports Complex and Loyalist Parkway claims and the Glen Ross location for the Waring House because we found no support for them. Phone numbers and policies change. Confirm each detail with the property before you travel.

Frequently Asked Questions

Conclusion

Trenton offers a clear lodging list. The Comfort Inn, Travelodge, and Ramada give you chain options beside Highway 401. Bayside Motel and the other motels give you smaller choices once you confirm the details. Belleville and Prince Edward County add options if Trenton fills up. Call ahead, confirm the current policies, and book early for a trip to the National Air Force Museum of Canada or the Trent-Severn Waterway.
