The location of the motel is excellent; just off highway 17. The room was clean & quiet, and felt very safe. The lake view was wonderful.

Nestled on a romantic little beach front, the Carolyn Beach Inn & Restaurant was an absolute delight. The rooms were clean and the view was amazing. Do yourself a favour and try the Beef stew and Masala at the restaurant, one of the best meals of my life. The Inn is also conveniently located near a gas bar/Tim Hortans.

The rooms were very clean and comfortable. The check in was great. They let us check in a bit early because of the circumstances we came up there. Unfortunately, the restaurant was not open. It was to open this weekend coming. Lots of parking. The view of the lake was beautiful.

Our room was just clean as clean could be. The scenery was beautiful as the sun glistened over the lake was located outside our window-you just sit on the lawn chairs on your porch-very peaceful and relaxing. Only thing that was a disapointment was the the restaraunt was not open for business yet.

The room was fine. However, it would have been nice to know the restaurant was not yet open for the season. The website lauded the restaurant and noted being open year-round. The billboards on the roads also praised the restaurant. Disappointed as that is one of the reasons for choosing this location over others.

Great location by the water and close to gas/food/highway. The room seemed clean but the fact that someone's stale pizza was sitting in the fridge was not encouraging. Poor lighting didn't help confidence either. Plus the bathroom fan clanked away something terrible.

Room was clean but very old. Bed was terrible to sleep on. Bathroom updated but sink not properly attached and wobbled if leaned on it. I know this was not terribly expensive but I choose this because I had stayed here in the early 1980’s and it was really nice. Not impressed this time. Will not be back

The room was OK, but needs maintenance. The bathroom sink was very slow to drain, the toilet seat was extremely loose and the shower curtain was ‘cheap.” The view of the bay is quite outstanding and the beach is a real added touch.

We called to ask for a late check in; as we were on a road trip across Canada. They told me they that they didn’t have my reservation. I even gave them my reservation number and they still said they didn’t have it. The man was very rude to us. We then booked a new place, stayed there. And come to my knowledge, Carolyn beach inn still charged my credit card! Funny since they didn’t have my reservation!!! Do not recommend.
