Clean, spacious and nicely done rooms! Breakfast was lovely, Reception Staff seemed polite. From the reviews it seemed like the hotel is baby friendly, and that was our major reason to book it. We were traveling with an infant and put in a special request for a crib at the time of booking itself. They didn't have a crib but made a pack and play available which was old. The mattress had lost its cushion and you could feel grooves. We requested for a change but they didn't have any other available. For the next night they said they would be replacing but that never happened. Our room was also not made by the house keeping staff the second day. Long story short, our baby slept in our bed, it's not safe sleeping practice naturally we didn't sleep well. Kids pool was heated but not the main one!

Good afternoon Shreya,Thanks for your feedback about your stay. We currently in the process of replacing our pack and plays and purchasing a few more for our property. With the Residence Inn brand we are designed for extended stays. If you had stayed one more night during your time at the hotel you would have gotten a refresh of your room.We don't have a kids pool on our property I think you are referring to our hot tub. The main pool is heated as well but just not as warm as the hot tub.Hopefully you choose to stay with us again in the future.Thanks,Alexander TomaszewskiOperations Manager

Overall a nice place to stay if you are looking for quiet. It’s out of the way from everyday. Has a nearby trail and water in walking distance. However very limited food options near by. Breakfast is a nice touch; tasty and great value. Plenty of parking which is free.

On arrival, we were very disappointed on the room given to us. The room was on the farthest end of the ground floor, with a view of dirty unsightly shrubs. The room was dark, and not at all what we were expecting from a very pleasant visit a year or so ago. We asked to be moved to a room with a view of the lake, but were told, because we booked through Expedia, we could not change our accommodation. The clerk who was obviously new, did eventually, get us a better room on the third floor, besides the elevator, but the view was a roof top of the building next door. NOT A HAPPY EXPERIENCE!

Good afternoon Nigel,On property we are unable to change reservations that are booked through Expedia. If any changes are needed or wanted to be made to your reservation it needs to be done through Expedia customer service.Safe Travels,Alexander

Property seems dated and yet used to be much better value nearly a decade ago compared to other Muskoka hotels. TV was hung near the ceiling which was odd. No towels in swimming area (had to ask), no utensils at breakfast (had to ask), etc likely due to more people than normal during winter but this should have been obvious to management and staffed accordingly given the Family Day long weekend.

This hotel is set in a gorgeous location, right on the bay with lots of restaurants and shops nearby. Our suite room had a balcony overlooking the water, and the beds were very comfortable. The service was excellent, bringing us up extra pillows and blankets for the pull out sofa and following up that we had everything that we needed.

We booked 2 suites for 10 people, one of these suites out of power in early morning due to this we have to use bathroom in dark, staff showed up, but problem wasn’t fixed. In addition there was ceiling lamp which was not running and water start dripping through the ceiling LED. Next day morning, at the time of breakfast no staff there to refill food. We literally had to go inside the kitchen and have to ask that we need this item to be refilled. Overall not worth for money, very disappointing.

Property is beautiful, don’t forget your camera. The grout in the bathroom needs work on both wall and floor tile, also someone has gone over the caulking at the tub with clear silicone so the mold underneath is still visible. If you can see past that you’ll have a lovely stay.
