    Harbour View Inn - S.M. Wells Suite

    Since I was staying in Barrie for a couple nights, I wanted to be downtown rather than at one of…read morethe hotels off the highway (that's where I usually stay). I couldn't find a hotel downtown but did find the Harbour View Inn, which is a "boutique heritage hotel" according to their website. It reminded me of a bed 'n breakfast but I did have my own bathroom and breakfast isn't included. "At the corner of what was called Louisa Street (now a section of Dunlop Street East), sits what is now known as the Harbour View Inn. The house is believed to have been built about 1885 for John Forsythe, Chief Clerk in the post office, who by 1891 was described simply as a gentleman. The house (constructed in 1885) is on the former site of Meldrum's Hotel. It's believed that the Inn may in fact be two houses, the rear (Berczy Street) section being the oldest, possibly dating to the mid 1850's. This can be clearly seen in the brickwork at the rear of the hotel. In keeping with the 1800's theme, the Harbour View Inn proudly bestowed the names of the first 10 mayors of the City of Barrie on our suites. On each suite door, there is a plaque with the Mayor's name, and the dates they held office. You can catch a glimpse of Barrie's history through the many old photographs and newspaper articles from the 1800's that flow through our hallways. Step back in time at the Harbour View Inn! " I had the F.E.P. Pelper Suite. It was cute. The windows looked out onto Lake Simcoe, which was across the street. I had the windows open to let in the fresh air. The street, though, is a busy one and I could hear the constant stream of traffic. There is a mini kitchen complete with glasses, utensils, etc. The bathroom was through the mini kitchen. The outside door is locked at 10pm but you have a key. The reception staff also leaves. I couldn't figure out the alarm clock so Wednesday night about 8pm asked for a wake-up call for the next day. I called last night about 9:30pm a couple times to ask for a wake-up call but no one answered (so I used my cell phone). WIFI and parking are free. It's less than a ten minute walk to the downtown core. It was a nice change from staying at a chain motel. I would stay here again if I wanted to be near the downtown core (less than a ten minute walk).

    I recently traveled from Montreal to preform in Barrie, Ont. I stayed at the Harbourview Inn and my…read morestay was very enjoyable. The staff were friendly and made special arrangements to check me in late in the evening. The hotel was clean, peaceful and I felt very at home there. I would recommend this boutique hotel to anyone.

The breakfast was beautifully laid out and was delicious and well served. Just to tour this old house and see how they transformed and decorated it is just lovely to see. We were here to see Roger Hodgins at CasinoRama and decided to stay in a place more quaint and quiet place instead of the Hotel. Credit card needed to secure room, but you can pay cash. We return in mid-November (same room) and I cannot wait!

A total of four queen rooms all offering full ensuites, soaker and claw foot tubs, fireplaces, and rain showers. A three course gourmet breakfast served in our beautiful dining room, or with lake views on the front porch in the summer months will satisfiy even the most sophisticated of palates. Sitting in the gazebo taking in the lake views with that special glass of wine after a day of golfing, shopping, biking or boating, you will wonder if there is any place better to be. Casino Rama is a five minute drive to take in some of the worlds best concerts and entertainment. This Grand Victorian Inn has been painstakingly renovated by it's owners Doug and Levada saving the past, with today's comforts.
