    Most wonderful place to stay! So close to the lighthouse and a great walk into town. The service…read morehere was amazing! Thanks to Jenn who helped us get a great place to stay and also gave us so many wonderful ideas to spend our time there. She got us to the right place for the boat trip to the Flowerpot Island. Her suggestions helped make our time there a real experience! Viviana and Marisa made our check in and out easy. They spent time talking and laughing with us. We know why people come back here time after time! Great personnel in housekeeping too! Don't miss this place! It's a real winner! Can't wait to feel the homey feeling and enjoy the quiet again. I don't think we ever stopped smiling! We celebrated our 40th anniversary there and will never forget it! Patty C.

    My daughter (age 20) and I stayed here and really enjoyed our stay. Jenn checked us in and she was…read moresuper friendly and passionate about the area. We met a very friendly young person at the kayak/canoe rental area that was super stocked to chat about the area and things to do. You can rent a canoe or kayak then paddle over the ship wrecks!! how amazing is that? We loved the fact that this hotel/resort was located near the light house and that it was kind of quiet and private from the rest of Tobermory. We enjoyed watching boats coming and going and the sunset. Only down fall, small bathroom. If you are super tall.. just duck :) But its all good.

    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.

    I was wrongfully terminated after 2 shifts due to something that happened between a worker and I…read moreover a year before the beginning of my employment. Instead of coming to me and asking me about the situation or trying to resolve any issue they terminated me at once without any cause. I found this extremely frustrating and unprofessional as well as them knowing I had already left my previous employment.

    Excellent. More like a hotel than a motel. I took a point off for shoddy WiFi. We didn't ask for…read morethem to fix it bc we got back so late from hiking but later found out we could of asked for them to fix it 24/7 - so they said. But perhaps it was good to disconnect from the world. This was perhaps half a kilometer away from the tip of Bruce peninsula and an Easy walking distance to Bruce trail (10min walk to the start of the trail), or if you want to go see shipwrecks also 10mins from glass bottom ship dock sites. Food was easily accessible from this location as well. Basically everything was walking distance. Facilities were brand new and clean. The bathroom was spacious. There is a Fridge, a coffee maker and a microwave!!! Bed was the perfect firmness. The pillows were incredible. The comforter was perfectly insulated. It was 40s outside and we never needed to turn on the heater. The entire place was well insulated. The TV had google, Netflix, and Hulu. But we couldn't enjoy bc of the shoddy WiFi. ....I think that's all of Canada tho this wasn't the first place where we had a hard time with WiFi. Also a nice balcony when weather permitted. Had two chairs to sit and watch the Bruce peninsula in the distance. Ample parking. I did not want to leave this place. So comforting coming back from a long hike to a place like this.

    Honestly very surprised at how good of stay we had here. Would definitely recommend this to anyone…read more They say it's a motel but I would consider this place a hotel because of how good it was. Friendly service and rooms are maintained very well. Will look on coming back here for next time.
