Great affordable stay in Orillia

The best thing about this motor hotel is it’s right on the water of Lake Simcoe, a beautiful setting. The room is spacious and clean and it has the usual basic hotel amenities. Whether you’re in town for outdoorsy things or for Casino Rama, which is very close by car, this is a very good affordable hotel.
