The dinning area and the kitchen staff were great as well as the majority of the servers. I have dietary allergies and intolerances and the chef came out to see me personally on numerous occasions to make sure that I was well taken care of. The hotel and spa is family owned which provided a very special and unique experience for me. Being of Indian decent and surrounded by furniture and artifacts from India provided an experience I have not yet had in Ontario. Unfortunately however, the cleanliness and maintenance of my room, the hallways and other main areas were below my expectations. There were greasy hand prints on the door and patio windows. the remote was sticky and other surfaces were dusty. There was an ongoing leak in the bathroom that damaged the baseboards and between floor tiles. There wasn't regular housekeeping and when I did ask to have those items cleaned in my room, while I was away, they were not. I had to be in the room to ensure that it was cleaned and even had to ask for them to come back to do a thorough job. The spa service that I had was great. The practitioner was knowledgable and professional. The facilities however were not well maintained. After using the hot tub there was a strange smell coming off of my skin. Overall, I feel like there is just not enough, well trained dedicated staff, quality checks and circulation of the building by management to clean and maintain this gorgeous space that has such potential.

The staff were lovely!! The spa was relaxing! The room needed a mini fridge and iron. The bathroom floor was a bit dirty. The backyard was really nice. The fire alarm went off twice because someone left the steam room door open.

Not for us!!!

We were so excited for our girls weekend at the spa! Upon getting there, we were taken toner room , which was downstairs and one of us used a walked! Not good! Never told! Then I went to use the steam room, it was broken, the door handle fell off our hall door so we couldn’t get out, our garbage was overflowing and nobody came to get it for hours and we never received any fresh towels on second day! Boasted free breakfast… nope! To top it off, nobody was there from 9-7 am???? No ice unless you go to front desk! Rooms were nice but run done! Not greatest girls weekend I’ve ever had

Overall a good experience. Not sure I would have felt the same paying full price. Just little things were a bit off. Room wasn’t ready at check in time. Phone in room had no power cord and didn’t work. Coffee station in room hadn’t been replenished. In-room hot tub was nice but took over an hour to fill up. Door didn’t have a secondary lock or chain or anything. Food at the restaurant was pretty good but the veggie options were limited. And while the food was reasonably priced, the wine was incredibly expensive. $75-80 for a bottle of what was probably $18 Yellowtail. Again, mostly little things that might have made an enjoyable experience exceptional… but probably not at the posted rates.

My experience was okay, I spent one night at the hotel and found that the room wasn’t very clean and the hotel seems tired and dated. Simple updates could have spruced the place up. As I walked around the hotel, there were signs that it was not well kept, like broken doors to exit to the deck area and bugs along the windowsill in the yoga room. I tried to get breakfast and was told I had to wait because although the restaurant was open the chef wasn’t in yet, so everyone was sitting around…waiting…I didn’t end up eating there because I had to leave. The grounds are very nice, and there is a nice view to the lake.

This hotel - spa is located on a isolated road and has quiet surroundings. Our room was large, the bed comfortable but all pillows were too large for the pillow cases and hard. The reception staff was courteous but did not tell us important information such as breakfast time and most significantly, that we needed to place the card on the door to indicate that we wanted to room to be cleaned. As it was winter, our outdoor shoes left dirt and salt residue on the entrance floor which led to the closet and bathroom. We had assumed that like other hotels, cleaning would be done every day unless we had specified otherwise. Breakfast was good and the service efficient. Unfortunately, the price was set to high for comparable hotels.

The room and facilities are out-dated and require updating to match the cost of the rooms. It is nice that the dinner and breakfast were included, the food was good but I won’t return because of the rooms. I didn’t even use the resort amenities…just wasn’t appealing enough.
