8/10 Very good

Perfect stay for weekend or up to 3 nights. Renovated and walk distance to all restaurants and stores
Verified review

10/10 Exceptional

Was better than I expected. Rooms were incredibly comfortable, easy to check in. The little pool was perfect for a mid day dip, and the cozy fire pits were a nice touch to unwind after dinner. Staff were incredibly courteous and helpful. We walked up and down the main tourist strip from our location with ease. Didn’t need our car at all. Would stay here again
Verified review

8/10 Very good

Our stay was very good. The staff were very accommodating and pleasant . Location was awesome just off the main strip. Was so pleased they served snack food in an air-conditioned restaurant right on the premises. Pool was a nice additive. Found the room very clean and beds comfy . Would return again when in Grand Bend.

8/10 Very good

Overall a great stay. Rooms could’ve been way cleaner, looked like all they did was make the bed…fries on the floors, dirt and dust and spider webs all over surfaces. There was also tooth paste splatter in the sink. Good that we weren’t in the room much. Pool and hot tub were very nice. Lots to do on the property. It’s also a 10 minute walk to the strip and beach, and a couple min walk to LCBO and the grocery store. Nice place to visit

Verified review

8/10 Very good

Nice rooms, over priced. Pool had too much chlorine to enjoy. Pool and hot tub hours are too early. Fire pits are not for use, and are shut down at 9 which does not make sense because it only gets dark at 9. There was no soap/shampoo in shower dispenser. The bed was comfortable. Walls were very thin. Mini fridge didn’t seem to be working properly. Check in and out was very comfortable and easy, that was a big plus. Staff very friendly and nice. Much further from beach than expected, choose to park closer so we wouldn’t have to carry all our beach gear. Parking at beach very expensive. Restaurants in area were all terrible, wish we packed a bbq and food now but we were hoping for an easy trip.

2/10 Poor

Check in was terrible. I had messaged them that we were coming from Australia and that we would be arriving late. When we arrived there was a note on the front door of reception to call this number after hours. We called that number at least 12 times.finally we found another place to stay the night around 0130! When I started calling that same number the next morning there was o answer until 0930! The guy at reception shrugged and said they were not available after 2100! We finally got into our room on august 3rd. It has to be the smallest hotel/motel room we have ever seen. And only a double bed which took up half the room. The bathroom was nice and spacious. We did not get our bed changed until day 5. I had to keep asking the staff for towels, coffee etc. We got the towels and coffee, but no cream, no extra shampoo nd no toilet paper. Luckily shoppers was close so we walked over and bough our own toilet paper and shampoo The only positive mark for this motel was that it was close to downtown and all the restaurants and shopping. We will never stay there again!
