"Impossible to justify this flop house as a motel!!! Staff need hotelier training. The owner is turning rooms into monthly cheap rents for "locals". There is no breakfast provided which is strange considering there is a dining room - and the "owners" run a fish and chip restaurant at this location. It was a lovely old quaint hotel close to a beach. At least it used to be clean. Bedding was well used and not spotless - no mattress cover in one case. It's finished as a motel."

Frequently asked questions

What is the best area to stay in Port Elgin?
The best area to stay in Port Elgin is along the Lake Huron shoreline, particularly around Port Elgin Main Beach and the nearby downtown core.

This area is the heart of Port Elgin, offering easy access to the town's main attractions. Port Elgin Main Beach is a prominent feature, known for its sandy shores and the Port Elgin Harbour. The downtown core, just a short stroll from the beach, runs along Goderich Street and contains local shops, restaurants, and cafes. It's a very walkable area, superb for exploring on foot.

Couples looking for a relaxing getaway will find this area particularly appealing. You can enjoy strolls along the beach at sunset, dine at waterfront restaurants, and explore the unique boutiques downtown. The proximity to the harbour also offers opportunities for boat tours or simply enjoying the views.

Families will also appreciate the convenience and activities available here. The main beach provides ample space for children to play, and the nearby Splash Pad offers a fun way to cool down.
When is the best time to go to Port Elgin?
The best time to go to Port Elgin is during the summer months, from late June to early September, when the weather is warm and all the local attractions are fully operational.

For families, July and August are ideal. The water in Lake Huron is at its warmest, great for swimming and enjoying the main beach, which is a lovely sandy stretch with a long pier. These months also see the most organised activities, from beachfront events to the weekly craft markets and street performances along Goderich Street.

Couples looking for a slightly quieter experience with pleasant weather might prefer late June or early September. The crowds are thinner, but the weather is still very agreeable for enjoying walks along the shoreline, exploring the quaint shops downtown, and having leisurely meals on patios.
Where can I find the best nightlife in Port Elgin?
Port Elgin's nightlife is generally relaxed, focusing on pubs and casual dining spots that often extend their hours. You'll find most of the activity concentrated along the main streets, particularly during the summer months.

Miramichi Bay Road and Goderich Street are where you'll find a few establishments offering a low-key evening. These often include pubs with a selection of local beers and spirits, and some may feature live music on weekends, usually acoustic sets or cover bands. It's more about a friendly atmosphere for a drink and a chat than late-night clubs.

During the summer, the area around the main beach, especially Harbour Street, sees a bit more activity. You might find a patio or two open later, serving drinks and light snacks.
Can I cancel my hotel reservation on Expedia?
You can cancel your hotel reservation on Expedia, though it depends on the cancellation policy of your booking. Most bookings are refundable if canceled within 24-48 hours of the scheduled arrival. Be sure to check your booking confirmation for the exact cancellation policy.
