Our first room had a soaked bathroom floor from a leaky shower faucet. Our second room didn't have a working shower so we had to use a shower in a room across the hall. The carpet tiles were badly stained. The room needs to be painted. The coffee in the room is awful (Mother Parkers coffee bags for a Keurig machine) and because the restaurant isn't open until 9:00 we had to drive into town to get a coffee. The restaurant is expensive for mediocre quality. The staff are friendly.

This was a lovely find on a Lake Simcoe canal system. The staff was lovely and knowledgeable. Our room was renovated 70's retro, and very clean, with lots of room for sitting, lots of drawers, large closet and basic hotel kitchen amenities. The bathroom was nice and clean. It is an eco-friendly location, and we enjoyed staying there very much! Thank you

We always stay at Lagoon City when ice fishing. The food is great, staff is so helpful. Our room was nice and there were extra blankets. Our kid slept on the sofa bed which was ready and comfy. We’ll be back next year! Oh and maybe for perch in the spring too. :)

There isn’t much in the area for a budget friendly place to stay during the winter months but the room wasn’t clean when we checked in and staff was limited so we weren’t able to contact anyone on site by the time we checked in after 8pm. Additionally there was no information left for wifi or anything else. It was and okay place just for sleeping but for a one night stay I wouldn’t say it was worth the money other than in comparison to other pricer options in the area.

Our apologies if something was not right with the room, if we had known we would have corrected it right away. We are on winter months and have limited staff on front desk, however there is someone onsite and a contact number listed at front desk. Wifi information is listed in several places including where the lock boxes are that keys are retrieved from.

This location is beautiful and the lagoon with its canals is a hidden gem in cottage country. I am sure it is far more picturesque in the summer. With beach access and water sport activities. The workers at the reception were very helpful and friendly. The room was quite dated and was very cold. The hallway is not heated and the unused rooms are left ajar with the heat off. It took one day to get the room up to a comfortable temperature. The room could also use some vacuuming and cleaning, as well as updates. The refrigerator did not work and had to be replaced. The room was spacious and the views were excellent. The pool is under construction which was disappointing.

The property is very run-down, which is very deceiving from the pictures online. I can except an older place but I still expect it to be clean. The room was filthy and smelled disgusting. Got a new room wasn't much better noticeably cleaner but room had no heat. No staff at counter. Worst stay I've had anywhere, will never be back.

Hi the staff were excellent very helpful and friendly. I noticed the carpets were a bit dirty in common areas and maybe a bit of mold in shower. I noticed the refrigerator was not cold. The room was a bit cool with the heat up full blast. Comfortable bed and excellent shower pressure. This was our second staff there. I really liked the upper floor bedroom better as well.

Upon arrival our room had no wash clothes and we had to ask for them and only got one. Was going to bed and no top sheet on the bed, I asked for one and was told they don’t put top sheets on but they change the comforter every day, which never happened. Someone disconnected our cable from the television so we needed help getting the television to work. The hotel needs a major overhaul, everything old and worn out. Will not stay again until renovation. Ten o’clock pm, we were woken up by a barking dog in the room across the hall from us. Elle had dinner in the restaurant and it was not good at all.

Hi DiannaOur apologies if there was something you were unhappy with. We do not use top sheets just like the majority of Hotels but they are available if requested, the duvets are changed either when requested if a guest is staying in house more than one night if the card that is left on the end table is placed on the bed to let us know that you want bedding changed or when the guest checks out. Quiet time is 11pm however if there is excessive noise or any issues you can come to front desk or if front desk is closed you can call the emergency number provided at front desk, we do have staff in house all night for guests needing assistance.

Lovely but past it's glory days
In the advertising pictures it looks in much better shape than it is in. I would say it is still good place for a holiday though. I enjoyed the indoor pool! Lighting in the room was not optimum but we coped with it. A bedside lamp would be a good addition to the room. A fantastic restaurant at the resort. We enjoyed both the meals we had there.
It has lovely canals.
Sunset from the resort.

This place is infested by spiders, and I don't mean one or two - they essentially own the place. Even the staff admitted they had given up on trying to deal with them so it's now completely overrun by spiders of all shapes and sizes. We must have killed 20 in the first 30 minutes in our room. They are everywhere inside. The staff from check in all the way to check out was rude and seemed annoyed to have to work. The carpet is very dirty, they said they keep steam cleaning it but I doubt any soap is being used, definitely no stain remover. There were multiple large hand prints all over the mirrors in our rooms, clearly had not been cleaned since the last guest. The maintenance throughout the entire property is seriously lacking, as is the cleanliness. You shouldn't expect guest to pay such prices and complaint that any maintenance would cost money! We ended up cancelling our 2nd night there after spending a quite horrible first night. We wanted to love this place but it went wrong at all levels.

We apologize that you feel the Resort has an “infestation” of spiders, however when you take into account that we are in a country area and we are right on the water, spiders are considered a normal part of the location, however we take every means possible to keep the spiders down by spraying the property for spiders several times through the year. Also the carpets are cleaned regularly with an industrial machine, however yes there are some marks on the carpet that do not come out, we are looking at replacing carpets in the near future.
