I had to make a trip to Owen Sound, Ontario for business. I am one of those people that, a…read moremotel/hotel room is just a place to rest my head, so I don't go for the most expensive/lavish hotels and usually don't stay at chains. So when this chance to travel came up, I jumped at it and immediately headed to Expedia to find a motel. I chanced upon Travellers as it was offering a deal in its' "New Wing" and I took it. I arrived on Monday, May 30, 2016, earlier than the expected 3pm check in that Expedia kept alerting me to. I had to wait 15 minutes for the desk to finish cleaning a room but that is fine with me, rather a clean room than a dirty one.. especially if it might be my rental next. :) Anyways, she had been having trouble with the credit card machine (it looks like the New Wing isn't the only new thing, as the office and the entire building appeared new) so she asked someone to come out to the lobby and help her. Once we got the credit card straightened out, I was given and RIFD/NFC room card (not a key, but a key card) to my room and given instructions on where to park and where to enter the building at (interior hallways on this wing). The new paint on this wing is grey and the walls an off blue it looks like, with white doors and black numbers, but it still looks respectable. They paint and work is still going on, so there was the smell of fresh paint in the office and the hall. When I got to the room, it was very nicely done for what I would call a budget motel (they advertise the lowest rates in town), with a brand new bathroom, bed, decor and flat screen TV. The ONLY drawback to the room for me, is that I have a CPAP machine (for obstructive sleep apnea) and there was no power supply in the wall near the bed (on either side) and in fact, I had to unplug the table lamp to get an available power supply at all. If you are in Owen Sound and want a nice room at a reasonable rate, I would suggest Travellers Motel. I will add pictures in the next day or so, once I take them.

Nestled on the banks of Georgian Bay a few minutes from Owen Sound, you will find at the centre of the beautifully landscaped grounds, a breathtakingly warm and rustic getaway you wish could be your everyday home. We stayed in the Sutton room which features a stunning view of the water in every single room. The sitting room is separate from the bedroom and is easily the wow factor in the entire space. The ceiling is sky high and the perfect setting for reading and relaxing. Staff is welcoming and makes your comfort a priority. We felt comfortable the second we entered the inn. The included breakfast, hot tub and steam room were all great bonuses but ultimately the memory of curling up with my gf in robes while the picture perfect landscape of Georgian Bay filled our windows will keep us coming back to Cobble Beach Inn!

I spent four nights there, and I couldn't have asked for a nicer place or a more congenial host. I was in town for a wedding, and after looking at the listings for some of the hotels, including the highly rated Best Western Inn on the Bay, I decided to stay at The Highland Manor. I liked the idea of staying in a home-like setting, with fewer rooms than a hotel and more personalized service. The Inn is historic in architecture and design and the decorations evoke a time period from the past. I stayed in The Moore room, as I was travelling with my cousin and we wanted a room with two beds. The room was immaculate, spacious, and the beds were very comfortable. We were given clean soft fluffy bathroom towels daily, a far cry from hotel towels. I had an opportunity to look in the other rooms after guests had checked out, and they were all beautiful. Breakfast was a highlight of our stay. The food was freshly prepared, depending on when we came down to eat, rather than being pre-cooked and waiting for us at a certain hour. We had seasonal fruit each morning of our stay, and our various breakfasts consisted of items such as pancakes (some of the best I've ever had), baked eggs and French toast. The portions were plentiful. One day, we also had a delicious cheese bread, made specifically for the inn by a local baker. Linda, our host, was personable and friendly and had a wealth of knowledge of the area. She was extremely helpful regarding our needs or questions, and she made a point of asking if we had any special dietary restrictions or allergies, in addition to asking if there was anything we needed during our stay. It was so nice to chat with her. The inn, which is also her personal home, is beautifully appointed with period pieces We enjoyed sitting in the grand parlor/library where the TV is located, as well as the outdoor covered porch. The Highland Manor is located in a nice, quiet residential area. We enjoyed walks in the neighborhood. When we went to the Best Western for wedding activities, we noticed it was in a more industrial area, and while it was located on Georgian Bay, we would not have felt comfortable walking outside the hotel perimeter in the evening. I'm looking forward to my next stay in Owen Sound, and the Highland Manor will be the first place I call.

We came here this past weekend, on the fly. We had a less…read morethan desirable experience at a campsite in Tobermory and called around frantically looking for a place to stay. We called Mountain Lake Camp and the nicest person (Amanda took my call), and basically told me to "Come on down". This is THE most laid back, relaxed, every one is just in a chilled out, super happy mood park I have ever been too. There are literally only a couple places for tents and the rest is trailers. They had live music, a big roast going, great firewood... CHEAP prices, everyone we talked to was extremely nice. They are located right on the water. We are so going back to this place. It was a massive area where we played frisbee, baseball, took walks around. And we just walked around with our beers.. very rule laid back. Even the next day... it was raining pretty hard so we were stuck under our big tent. The owner said we could leave whenever we wanted ... we didn't NEED to be out by a certain time. This place was great, we are just going to stay here from now on when visiting the Bruce Peninsula.

We stayed in Owen Sound for a weekend in Tobermory since there was actually availability here. The…read moreBest Western was by far the least sketchy place to stay here, as a lot of the other lodging we looked at were older motels. At least Best Western does have the name behind it. They have one EV plug in here that is free to use but slower for charging. The guy that checked us into the hotel didn't really seem all there. This hotel is dog friendly and we had 2 pooches with us. It seems like they put most of the dogs on the first floor. The lobby had a microwave out there for common use and free coffee was laid out here in the morning. They have a restaurant here called Bishop's Landing that does all meals. As for the room, it was comfortable. It definitely could have been cleaner. There were rogue hairs everywhere in the bathroom, particularly the shower. For example, there were ones under the bathmat that waved hello as the water ran under it. The hotel is located right next to the marina and there are paths that you can take for a scenic stroll at sunset. Not the best stay but for one night, this would probably still be my go to place to stay in Owen Sound.
