The motel is very clean and affordable. It is close to attractions like Grotto (30 mins) and Tobermory (50 mins). The dining service was a little slow but the food was amazing! The staff is very friendly and helpful. Definitely recommend this place.

Loved this Inn. It was clean and quaint with its bear themed rooms. There was an adorable gift shop, a yummy and affordable resto, staff were so friendly, and they had amazing karaoke (Lenny’s Karaoke) the night we stayed!

This was a nice place to stay, just off the main highway. There was construction on the property when we visited so it was a bit noisy. It would be nice if the parking lot was paved and more trees blocked the main highway. The coffee cups in the room were coffee-stained.

Hi Leslie thanks for the feedback. We are always aiming to improve! We do in fact have wifi for all motel guests and the password is in the rooms. Apologies if you missed that. Thanks for your stay. Roberta

I stayed once for two nights and again 5 days later for 1 night. On my first stay, the refrigerator was dirty; there was no coffee in the room, no card with wifi code and our room was not made up or cleaned the second day of our stay. The woman working was as the waitress/front desk was just filling in for someone who was not able to work - she knew nothing and had to call out to someone for the wifi info. The room key fell off the fob in the parking lot ( had to hunt with our phone flashlights to find it) because the jet was attached with a curved piece of wire that did not close. Oh, the ice maker was not working. The second time we stayed, ( in a different room) the refrigerator froze our food, there was no plug for the tub or sink, the window blind was badly broken and the coffee caraf did not fit properly under the coffeemaker. There are no lights outside on the stairs going up to the rooms, nor are the lights by each room’s entrance creating a safety hazard. Ice maker still not working. The day we checked out on the second visit, the owner contacted me about coffee/grinds that had spilt on the counter and stained it. She was looking for restitution. I was very annoyed because we would not have spilt coffee had the coffee caraf been the proper one/size for the coffee maker… I I formed her that comet would take out the coffee stains so restitution was not required. On the up side, the beds were comfortable and an attempt was made for a coordinated decor theme…

Hi SuzanneThank you for your feedback.In response to your feedback.As stated there is no 24 hr front desk . As stated if you need things you pop into the restaurant. The Wifi password was not in your room. Not that catastrophic as you did retrieve it from the wait staff. No she didnt have it memorized and called me. Should you need coffee more shampoo towels etc you simply ask. All will be provided. The magnet inside steel door gets moved to outside of door should HK be requested. Publuc health has advised since Covid we do not enter rooms without consent. The magnet gives consent. We are a 5 unit motel. The motel doesnt have an ice machine nor a spot to store one. Perhaps you aren't familiar with a well that runs the house entire restaurant housekeeping facilities amd motel. Well water is very hard on a ice machine. The previous owners went through 3. Ours is brand new. It needs serviced from Quebec as again it needs special filters to accommodate well water. The fridges are new and have temperature gauges. The previous guests perhaps had it up..The keys are custom made. Apologies if the key fell in the parking lot.There are 2 streetlight size lights in parking lot. They are on timers. The lights on restaurant roof also on timers. One is in front of room 1 the other at entrance of parking lot. You had said you had no coffee filters. Had you opened the coffee provided and not used your own you would have found the filter in the pouch. The carafe does belong under that maker.You chose to use coffee from home instead resulting in a overflowing mess staining counters. We were wondering why you didnt ask for paper towels ? Or us to help as we would have. I am unsure if so unhappy on 1st visit why return 5 days later..Cheers Roberta

Northern experience
Bear Tracks Inn was what I expected a north experience to be. Clean and cosy rooms, quiet surroundings. The restaurant served all the comfort foods imaginable and was clearly enjoyed not just by the guests staying at the Inn but by the locals, who would have to take a drive to get there. The folks running the place are the nicest, friendliest folks ever. I would definitely return!

Friendly staff. We have a 15lb dog that was welcome for a modest fee. Nice Canadian/American restaurant site that also seemed like a community hub with the patrons and staff either already knowing each other or introducing themselves. We were there on a Friday night and the restaurant was buzzing with activity.

Good, but needs more cleaning
Good location and quiet despite being on the main road of the peninsula. Staff was really friendly. However, the bedroom would need additional cleaning, as there was dust under the beds and bathroom wasn't spotless. It was a bit pricey, given we were there on Labor Day weekend.

This motel was very close the the attractions I was visiting in Lion's Head. The beach, the lookout and Greig's Caves were all within a 10 min drive. The next day's drive to Tobermory was only 30 minutes. Only complaint is the water pressure from the shower head was very low.

Cute decor and all, and friendly staff. We were here to sleep for the night while we hiked around the area. The beds are okay comfortable, a little soft. just not the nicest sheets. There was no AC and we couldn’t open the windows as the nets had holes and we had flies in our room. But if you just need a place to crash you can do it here. Just for the price I wanted to be able to open my windows. In regards to the restaurant, breakfast was good however it took 45mins. We had to be somewhere and if we had known it would take that long we would have gone somewhere else.

Response from Roberta on Jul 30, 2023
We have called in both owners and 1 supervisor of housekeeping. There was evidence of 1 hair on the bed and 1 hair near the toilet. This doesnt warrant a disgusting room but moreso a fussy customer. There were 0 evidence of anything in the toilet so this is false. You showed up 3 hrs past check in time so had you arrived on time we could have recitified any situation. We also fafe you a 100% refund something you failed to post as we couldve simply said no . I am sorry all the pictures in the world will prove that upon entering your room with 2 housekeeping staff that cleaned the room the supervisor of housekeeping and 2 owners these allegations of uncleanliness are false.
