Our stay at this hotel had its ups and downs. On the plus side, the location was fantastic, making it easy to explore Gananoque and the surrounding areas. The amenities were extensive and the indoor pool area was a highlight. However, the rooms felt a bit outdated and the breakfast options were quite basic, missing variety. Overall, while there were some shining moments, some improvements would definitely enhance the experience.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. On one hand, the grounds were lovely, and the staff was genuinely helpful, which was a big plus. However, the rooms felt outdated and weren't as clean as I hoped, and there were issues with some amenities. Overall, it has potential but needs significant improvement in areas to be a true resort and spa experience.

The motel offers a cozy and quiet atmosphere, making it a pleasant stop for travelers in the area. The rooms are small but comfortable, and the staff was genuinely helpful. However, the place could use some updates and better maintenance, especially regarding the amenities and dining options. Overall, it was decent for just an overnight stay, though not the ideal choice for a longer visit.
