Wonderful staff
The staff was excellent. The pool was cold and the hot tub didn't work. We were on the 1st floor. Wallpaper was peeling off the walls, no heat in the first room. Probably won't be back.

Great Hotel Room Wise.
The room was great but there was a hockey team of kids and adults who were very noisy. The adults let the kids run crazy knocking on peoples doors til 2 am and running the halls. Staff also did nothing about it. Because it started at 11 and we complained and nothing was done

Hotel is really outdated and kind of smells like old carpet. Doors were constantly banging throughout the whole day from early morning to late at night. There was also a dog barking in one of the rooms I was near, front staff called my room to see if the dog was coming from my room and they further questioned me about having a pet in my room after I told them it wasn’t coming from my room. Stayed here because it was central in Barrie. I had an awful stay, I will not be back.

Good stay
The staff was friendly and helpful, and the hotel was clean. Our only gripe was the old mattress and how it sunk in the middle making an uncomfortable sleep.

To top it off no power in the hotel and was asked to find another hotel on my 5th night, hotel did not contact me or offer to help me find another hotel big inconvenience to pack up in the dark using an iPhone light.

Picked because of their reasonable prices and discounts available for multiple day stays.
Indoor Pool was larger than expected, was a little disappointed to see that they have an outdoor pool as well but it looks like it’s closed and in desperate need of maintenance.
Pet Friendly and were able to accommodate us as well as helped us book a reservation last minute when there weren’t many rooms available.
Rooms around the back of the hotel could use some updating, definitely could benefit from more staff.
Overall favourite hotel to stay at in Barrie!

The room was old and not worth what I paid. It was busy in our hallway and noisy and restful sleep was hard to get. Front desk staff were friendly.

The rooms are in need of updating but we’re clean. There were people living at this hotel and clearly involved in drugs and sex trafficking. A pregnant drug user tried to get into a room right beside me. Shopping carts with peoples belongings were sitting out front of rooms. Women coming and going from room next door. Drug and/or sex trafficking. Drunk/high man approached my 13 year old son and told him he was going to drown him in a bucket of ice water. Not great clientele.
