I doubt that it gets washed after every guest! Good shower. The kitchenette is community but kitchenettes were advertised. It was filthy, cold water only for dishes (found this out after eating). Stove and hot plate looked like a fire waiting to happen. Won’t be back. ##### Linda Stayed 1 night in Oct 2024 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [The Briars Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Georgina-Hotels-The-Briars-Resort-Spa.h9794102.Hotel-Information) > > [Rawley Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Severn-Hotels-Rawley-Resort.h10486809.Hotel-Information) > > [Ste.
