Room was very clean and well laud out with terrific vuews of the lake. Bit of musty smell maybe because off season and the room had no temperature control, overall very satisfied. The lady that greeted us when we checked in was very friendly and the check in was very efficient.

Great home base for cycling the Simcoe Liop. Well maintained and very clean motel. Beautiful views and cozy campfire pit. We stayed in a junior suite, and the only improvement I could suggest would be a solid door on the washroom for a bit of added privacy:) but did not detract from our stay.

A great place to stay if you just need a place to sleep for the night. Front desk staff was extremely pleasant and helpful. Room is basic and fairly clean (a little dusty under the bed). Easy access from Parking Area to the room. Bed is low end, but comfortable enough for the night. Bathroom fan is very loud and is always on with the bathroom light.

The room was decent except! There was zero control for the heat which was the old radiator heating that had unsafe exposed pipes and touching curtains. Fire hazard. Plus old exposed rusted pipes along floor line behind bed etc. The sink had below it a curtain only covering old pipes with mouse trap. It was unsettling. It should be covered up with wood or something. The pillows uncomfortable. Parts of the room were updated. Tub/shower was high to step in and felt unsafe. Checkin was good and reception nice and helpful.
