We had a concert at the Kee and came from out of town so decided to find a place near by to stay. We were so over the top impressed with the Dudley inn. Not only was it less then 8 mins cab ride the the venue but it is SO cute and quaint. Our king room was clean so spacious and stunning. The bed was so comfortable and I literally had to take a photo of the brand of pillows to buy for home. The amenities were also a bonus - water bottles, neapresso, tea, Muskoka chairs out front etc. I couldn’t recommend them more to anyone that is wanting to stay in the bala area

A night away for us (husband/wife). I wasn't sure about a "motel" as some are NOT very appealing. Dudleys IS "the place to stay". Our room (King) was so well layed out. Beautiful bathroom, excellent main room, VERY CLEAN. 2 minutes (max) to Bala. Next vacation we take in the area we will DEFINITELY stay here. Seriously YOU deseve this! Most times I can't be bothered with REVIEWS because they all seem okay? I haven't the slightest clue who the owner is but kudos! Great place!

It is a nice hidden gem, the outside does not standout but they did a great job on the inside and it really exceeded our expectations. I saw other rooms at other locations while visiting the area and ours was the best hands down and half the price.
