Bayfield is like a mini version of Niagara on the Lake. Numerous clothing stores, art gallery, restaurants but missed the kitchen store and Christmas store that I recall from a previous visit many years ago. Great golfing nearby which is the primary reason we went. As seniors would have preferred walk in shower. Tub was a little scary, no grab bars. Overall, enjoyed our visit.

Overall, a really enjoyable experience. The hotel warns that the parking is street parking but we did not have any difficulty finding parking very close to the hotel as there is quite a lot of parking along Main St. Service in the restaurant and bar was friendly and very good. The only detractors from our stay were: 1. The plumbing is probably as old as the building. The shower would very suddenly turn quite cold, probably because someone somewhere else turned on hot water. 2. Our room was the last room in a hallway and there was no light in the hallway. I don't mean that there was no lightbulb; there was no light fixture at all. It wasn't so much of a problem with there not being enough light to see the lock and get into our room, but just detracted a bit from the experience of returning to the room.

Wi fi and tv where out for at least two days. Most surrounding stores and restaurants closed and only open on weekends. I left one day early and was hoping to get a refund for the one night’s stay. Eggs in the restaurant were under cooked. Worst I have ever had

The Inn is nice but getting worn and attention needs to be paid to lighting (very dim in the rooms) and furniture (arms rests or chairs worn and tattered, need replacing). It needs a facelift.
