I very much like the hotel's proximity to the waterfront and the downtown. My room was very small but it was comfortable. There are lots of great dining options close by. Parking can be tricky but once I found a spot, I didn't move for the rest of the weekend. Overall I was satisfied and would definitely return. This was my second stay.

Disappointing
We were originally in the basement and the room was disgusting. Dirty, bugs everywhere, poor condition, AC/heat was either boiling or freezing. We were then placed in another room and it was okay. Sadly someone had set the alarm in the room to wake up at 530am so that really ruined what should’ve been a peaceful rest. Overall disappointing and certainly not worth the money.

We had a couple of small problems with our room on the first night which were out of the control of the hotel itself, however the management were very helpful and receptive and moved us to another room. We would certainly use this hotel again if and when we returned to Orillia. Ideally situated, good breakfast and helpful staff.

This is not a waterfront property. It is a block away from the waterfront, and the area between the hotel and the waterfront is not that nice. Parking is tricky. You cannot park and chek in through the front door. You have to find a parking sport behind the next door restaurant (it's not obvious this is the hotel parking), walk in through a back door and take a flight of stairs to the reception. The front desk clerk who met me wasn't very welcoming. No "Hi" or "How are you" from the clerk. The whole vibe of the conversation with the clerk was like talking to a cop that pulled you over. The bathroom has no hooks or shelves to put your stuff. The area around sink is so tiny that there's no space for toiletries. I would not recommend this hotel.
