HĂŽtel sur la plage avec kayak Ă Algonquin Highlands
There's a restaurant on site. You can enjoy a drink at the bar/lounge. Public spaces have free WiFi. A terrace, barbecue grills, and a vending machine are also featured at Algonquin Lakeside Inn. Self parking is free.
This really isnât a hotel. There is no working restaurant, breakfast is said to be âall dayâ but we had to wake them up at 09.00. Anything after that would be from a very limited breakfast menu brought in from a nearby cafe and it shut at 19,00.
Reception was from 08.30 to 20.00 in theory but mostly was unmanned.
The was no room cleaning service, no bar.
The internet connection worked occasionally but mostly not at all. The web joining instructions were wrong.
The photos didnât show the noisy main road adjacent to the site.
The door from the veranda was falling apart. The whole room was tatty.
Two paper cups were supplied for our two night stay. One pod of coffee per person per day. The paper cups fell apart.
I have stayed in literally hundreds of hotels all over the world, some in very much âthird worldâ places and I havenât yet had one that was as bad value for money as this one.
All I have to say is that the staff was amazing. They truly were attentive and helpful. The place was cozy, peaceful and clean.
The location is great and super convenient for the plans we had during our trip.
Only I gave three stars on the overall experience because our trip was especially to relax and break free from the routine. One of the main reasons I chose the room we did was because they advertised the private Hot Tub. When we got there the jets did not work at all and when we filled the water some weird stuff came out of there and it was weird. I donât like deception and I appreciate when my time and money is respected. If you advertise something please ensure you deliver.
To the owner: your hot tub requires maintenance. People expect this type of thing to be available during vacation you particularly charge more for that room based on that function so you must ensure the client gets what is expected otherwise I equal that to deceptive practices.
I even read another review with the same issue so I hoped you would have addressed that long before I got there.
Also, when you use the microwave it shuts off. Fix that pls.
Moreover, itâs not that expensive to add ceramic or reusable cups and plates. Other places have it and with cheaper prices.
I would definitely visit the place again. I find value in the whole experience including my plans , and the people who actually serve the customers, etc. That makes a great difference.
But I wouldnât recommend it for now.
It was a pleasant stay and staff was very helpful and friendly specially the lady at the reception desk. Cleanliness should be taken care of and check if all the appliances are working.
We enjoyed kayaking.
This is a great spot especially being right on the lake. But the downfall here is property is so unkept everything is falling apart and no curb appeal which is sad they should take some pointers from the resort that is across the lake from them. Also should have free firewood for guests to use cause nothing better then enjoying a fire at night on the beach. Speaking of the beach it could use some TLC along with the broken Muskoka chairs. This place could be a honey hole if only the owners took some proud into the resort.
