This is a hidden gem. Looks average from the outside, but the room (we chose the bigger one) was wonderful. Clean, spacious, comfortable. Staff was very friendly. Nice to have an on site dining option that was reasonable and the food was good. Best part was the motel dock just across the road. You could sit in the provided chairs and stare at that lake view for hours. Very peaceful and worth the price of admission

Property is very run down. Housekeeping staff hang around the parking lot and stare at you as you come and go throughout the day. Has deteriorated over the last few years.

It's a motel across the road from the lake outside Barry's Bay Ontario. Nothing more. Nothing less. Quiet room was good. Everything else quite average.

The rooms are older and dated, and not in the best condition. But it is rather large, I stayed in the rooms with queen bed and pullout couch, the pullout is not comfortable at all, the bed was nice. Everything was ok, not super clean but clean enough for most

Very clean, friendly staff, convenient location., excellent dining facilities. Breakfast in the sunshine on the patio was wonderful. But couldn’t get tv to work and no instructions provided, fridge had no freezer for ice cubes or freezer packs but was itself so cold it froze our milk in lumps. And either their phone doesn’t work or they don’t answer it or emails, so how do you get in touch?

Tv remotes are confusing and with inaccurate instructions. Had to call the front desk to watch tv. Btw, we were a year ago and the same issues with the tv and sat box.

Great view, comfortable beds, the rest not so good. We selected this hotel in part because it had an attached restaurant, which would have been convenient for breakfast and possibly supper. But when we arrived we were very annoyed to be told that the restaurant was closed the two days we were there. This despite no notice on Expedia, or on the hotel's web site, or even the' sign at the hotel which claimed the restaurant was 'open daily'. For the rest, the room had the smallest, most cramped bathroom I have ever seen. Operating the TV required a good knowledge of how to select the right HDMI channel and select the satellite feed. The instructions and channel guide supplied in the room were just wrong and totally useless. The hotel claimed a 25 Mbit internet feed, but speed was spotty and sometimes resembled dial-up speeds! Staff were scarce to non-existent. There was someone in the office when we came to check in, but at other times the office was locked up tight. There was no-one there when we went to check out at 8:20 am, so we left the key in the room. We will not be staying at this hotel again.

Rooms are ok. Staff not readily available. Asked for an extra blanket as there wasnt one for the pull out bed and we still didnt receive one. They just provided a thin sham/duvet cover as a blanket. Unfortunately restaurant was closed both days. The hotel is okay but not for the cost, its expensive for what is provided.

Restaurant saves it

It was what I would expect out of a motor lodge. At one time someone put a hole in the bedroom wall, and they patched it and just left it unpainted and unsmoothed, looked shabby. The hot water never got hot in the bathroom sink unless I ran the shower on hot to bring it in, that was odd. The restaurant however is a saving grace, it was very good.
