Weird place, but worth a stay!…read more We were stopping by St Catharine for a couple of days to peek at the 2024 World Rowing Championships and this looked more interesting than the other available hotels. It's basically a converted mansion. Our room was very comfortable with a modern bathroom (shower stall only, no tub), but had antique-looking furnishings. Modern keypad entry lock though, which was good because we didn't see any staff during our stay. It's weird because there was no front desk and our first night there was only one other car in the parking lot. It was busier the second night but we still never saw any guests other than in the parking lot. It was fun wandering around the beautiful building and grounds. It's also right next to a trail if you want to bike or hike. Only negative was there was no coffee machine in our room, but they had coffee and Tim Horton donuts downstairs. You could also hear water in the pipes in our room when another guest was showering, but overall it was pretty quiet.

The ambiance includes fine china teacups and saucers, along with three-tiered dishes, classical music, and cloth napkins. The tables and chairs were comfortable, along with a display of various tea ornaments, which included some for sale as well. The food was absolutely wonderful; everything was homemade, which included an abundance of cookies, two different types of scones, and large tea sandwiches on different types of bread (e.g. salmon on a croissant, cucumber and cream cheese on raisin bread, etc.). The food was fresh and well-prepared! Service was top-notch; we were given the utmost attention during our stay, even conversing with our waiter about the various events that the tea room had hosted over the years. Was impressed with how knowledgeable about tea our server was, and passionate as well. Will definitely recommend this tea room to anyone looking for an authentic and delicious tasting experience!

I had a relatively good stay here, but it certainly wasn't without its issues and annoyances. KEEP…read moreIN MIND THAT THIS HOTEL IS CURRENTLY UNDERGOING RENOVATIONS AT THE TIME I WRITE THIS REVIEW. As a result, numerous disruptions and some frustrations occurred during my stay here. I was put in a suite on the 6th floor of the hotel. To start this review off on a positive note, I was happy to see that the entire floor had its renovations already completed. They look absolutely beautiful! The room was quite clean, nice, modern and spacious. The lobby, compared to the images posted here, looks a lot more welcoming and homey. The location of this hotel is cool in that there's a bowling alley and arcade attached next door! Great for those who want to have a fun night. Now I'll get into some of the problems/annoyances I encountered while here. The first one is of the elevators. This hotel has a weird elevator layout in that there is either one elevator in the lobby or at the end of the hallway where the rooms are. That's very annoying because that means when the elevators are busy, people have to wait for minutes just to go up or down. Of the annoyances that were most significant, as a result of the renovations, power was cut for a few hours and the WiFi was turned off temporarily, also for a few hours, due to upgrades. Let me be clear: these sorts of things can happen at any hotel, but it's how the hotel manages these situations that matters most. Although a notice about these events was placed at the front desk, I was not made aware of these two events happening. This was obviously a major inconvenience that could have been avoided had the hotel communicated this better, such as slipping notes under each person's hotel room door to inform such people of the disruptions. That obviously never happened so it caught me by surprise. Another major issue was the construction workers who would either take the elevators out of service, or prevent guests from using the elevators due to the equipment inside they use to renovate the hotel. Very inconvenient for guests who either stay on high floors, or need the elevator to transport equipment of any kinds! I'd certainly stay here again, but only once the renovations are complete and only if the hotel improves its communication to guests better. The hotel has the potential to be one of the best Holiday Inn hotels to stay at, it is currently going through some growing pains with the renovations right now and probably needs some management shake up to improve communication with guests.

I think about 30 rooms total. Funny things, the floor in the lobby is all bumpy on old stone which makes it hard to roll a bag. I would suggest a red carpet. There is no breakfast in the hotel. The restaurant attached isn't part of the hotel itself so the people who work there aren't hotel employees. When we showed up, no one was at the front desk so I asked at the restaurant and they said the person must be on break and to wait. Not especially helpful. The location and price are good but keep in mind this hotel isn't actually near anything. The town of St Catherine's proper is about 20 minutes away. The only stuff nearby is a grocery store and a Starbucks.

Hubby and I often go solo or with friends to enjoy and check out new dining or wineries. Honsberger has become a fave for us. Their patio is wonderful and a good size. They have a quite large fully covered area to the side of the main building, plus then another patio area with tables that have umbrellas. Their pizza is excellent and done in an outdoor pizza oven. They do have other items (mains, salads, appetizers), that are prepared in their main kitchen. One thing we have noticed is that things are taking a bit longer in the Covid world. This is we assume due to precautions taken with cleaning etc. So -- do be patient and just enjoy. We find that they always have some interesting cocktails with their wine as a basis, and some are available in pitcher size as well as by the glass! Reservations for the patio are available via the TouchBistroDine app. You won't find them on OpenTable. The staff are pleasant and knowledgeable. Parking is available at the back and on the side. You do need to have face masks until you get to your table.

Good for everyday drinking (even cheaper than some of my large format beers!) The staff here is all really welcoming and the pour definitely really generous! I was though not too crazy about their Iced fruit wines, maybe for slush making? We ended up picking up 2008 Gewurztraminer ($9.95) & 2010 Cabernet Franc ($16.95). The ground though not too glamorous but has this older rustic country vibe! Pro Tips: A lot of bus tours stop here and the tasting room is quite small to handle the crowd. Don't go in when you see any buses parked at the parking lot, would have save you a lot of time!
