Awesome time as always.
It was a girl's weekend and we had a great time. The staff was awesome and always ready to help. The buffet breakfast was hot unlike other buffets I've had elsewhere. The was relaxing and inviting. I've gone to the Briars many times over the years and highly recommend it.

The staff are excellent and so helpful and friendly We enjoyed an excellent rainbow trout with fettuccine meal in Drinkwaters with the best calamari appetizer ever! Rochelle, her daughter and sister are all awesome! And Bob the resort manager is super!

The property is located in a beautiful forested area with lovely views of Lake Simcoe. The grounds are extensive and the hotel itself is very large with a wide range of facilities (indoor pool, spa, tennis courts, billiards and ping pong). The building is evidently historical, and it would be a nice added bonus to provide information about it to guests. Most of the building is in need to renovation/repair; the hotel room is pleasant and the staff are friendly, but it is not quite at the luxury level that it advertises itself to be.

Slightly outdated Service is painfully slow due to not enough staff. Waited 20 minutes for a drink twice:( Enjoyed the food and variety. Would benefit tremendously from an outdoor pool. No beach area on the actual lake to swim in. Spa treatment was terrific. Expensive for the available amenities. Andre
