Restaurant was a joke, box, fish and box, french fries, and boxed omelets extremely uncomfortable bed very tiny room no toilet paper no drinkable water and no bottle water provided by far the worst motel experience I have ever experienced! Paid for 2 nights $368 but after the first one I decided to cut and run as fast as I could out of there! No funds was stipulated prior to booking so lost out on $170

We paid a premium price for this room to have a jacuzzi. It, along with the shower were unusable due to dirty water. We tried to contract the staff to let them know, but everything was locked up tight at 720 pm. This ruined an already dreadful day.

Thanksgiving weekend getaway
What an amazing experience! My fiance and I stayed here on Thanksgiving weekend, and I can't say enough about this spot! Take into consideration the location and enter with reasonable expectations! If the wifi isn't working perfectly, consider where you are, if the water isn't city water, consider where you are! The room is very clean and comfortable, with a cottage type feel! The beauty that surrounds this place is magnificent, and the staff is very friendly and happy to help! If you are expecting this to be the ritz Carlton, look elsewhere! If you are looking for a cute, comfortable spot, with that cottage getaway type feel, this is the place to go!

This motel has a great location because its just 4 min drive from Algonquin Park. The water is not potable. It comes from the lake. They filter it. They offer 2 half litter bottles per person if you stay for 2 nights. It is prohibited by law to use the kind of fireplaces that they have in their rooms because last year one exploded at another motel, in the area. I was told these by one of the employees. We were in a king room with jacuzzi. The room and linen were clean. The jacuzzi was not washed properly and when I asked for it to be rewashed, one of the employees was really nice to help with that. He thought that there were stains from the water and that they reaper no matter how much they wash it. However, after he rewashed it, no stains reapered. He used some detergent to wash it, entered the tub in his sleepers that he used outside, too and didn't rinse it in the end. So, if you want to use the tub, wash it and rinse it yourself, just to be sure it's clean. The washroom was clean but the doors of the shower not really. The hallway towards the room was clean. The parking lot, in front of the rooms is full of cigarette butts, same with the beach. There are beoken things and garbage everywhere. I can say that this is a two way fault, not enough personal for cleaning, no cigarette trays available and people who leave this mess. There is lots of mess at the staff entrance. The decks are not safe to walk on. On one of them nails are popping up, the other one looks broken.

The property is ok. Biggest issue was the floor in the room. I was in bare feet and my wife in socks and both were black. Had to get out of bed to turn lights on. Room not designed well. Towels were not ready for hours after checkin then had to ask for face cloths. Didnt use the tub but it looked clean. With a bit more work this place would have been acceptable. Didnt try the food.
