Detailed Reviews
We chose to stay at this hotel because of its proximity to the Blue Mountains/Georgian Bay and it was affordable. The hotel was fully booked and they have implemented social distancing protocols which were fairly successful, but I will note that the front desk did get overwhelmed at times. For instance, there are only supposed to be 8 people in the pool area, but when reception is busy they can't keep count and we saw guests bringing their own towels which doesn't help. It also can get crowded at the breakfast area, so go early or risk a line-up. The hotel serves bagels, breakfast sandwiches, muffins, yogurt, tea/coffee/juice. I experienced a strange noise issue with another guest and her kids singing and playing music at 3 am. When I called the front desk, that person didn't hesitate to visit the room and tell them to stop which I appreciated. This hotel is old, but most of the common areas are clean and look renovated. Our room was spacious, clean and the beds were comfortable. The hotel is also walking distance to a few restaurants.

Mix of staff, logistical problems (possibly due to covid). Overall had to request things multiple times, felt like we were doing the hotel's work.
When we were here, it was not as relaxed as it should have been. We arrived a half hour early at 2:30 PM, and didn't see front staff, so went to use the restroom, but it was not maintained due to covid. After a few minutes, someone arrived up front, but told us our rooms would not be ready for another hour or so, because of covid staffing issues. My wife inquired as to the possibility of using the internet to check e-mail, but we were told it was impossible without physically checking in. The front staff man was not very helpful and gave off the feeling of being perturbed and hassled by our questions, so we headed to the next door Wendy's to use their wifi instead. Later on, we realized that we could have just connected to the wifi; it didn't make sense why we were put off using it.
Their green towel policy is a little absurd, with towels and linens only replaced every 3 days. Considering Collingwood is both next to multiple beaches and Blue Mountain, it is summer and it is cooking outside, we are actively incentived to stay outdoors due to covid, AND there is a pool, we were out of towels quickly. Every 2 days would make more sense. I try to be relatively green. I used the main towel for an afternoon shower and evening shower after activities, and then resorted to the hand towel the next morning and evening. We requested towels in the morning, put the used ones out in front of our door as instructed, and skipped a morning shower, as we knew we would be sweaty after hiking. After coming back at noon, our key cards had somehow deactivated, and we had to go around to the front. After getting that corrected and going back to our room, we found we had not yet received the towels. Asking a nearby cleaning staff, she told us to ask the front desk, seeming mildly annoyed that people had to use so many towels.
Due to covid, we needed to bundle our own trash and leave it outside. However, we then had to ask for garbage bags later on! You would think that it would just be provided if you used it.
Parking was easy in a large lot. Room itself is nice, with well working fridge, microwave, couch, large armoire. TV is a little small. I appreciate that the default channel is a channel listing. TP is scratchy. It's nice to have soft and hard pillows, but they're a little bit small, and your head can roll off of them easily. The hallway door does not stop noise well, and you can get woken up by people coming in loud at night. The bed sheets were nice, but seem more suited for winter months.
Breakfast: The English Muffin sandwich would have been better toasted, but was good for a morning meal.
Staff seems to be a mix of younger accommodating staff and cranky old timers.

On the positive side, the staff is friendly, the location is convenient for Blue Mountain skiers, and the breakfast selections are good. However, this is an old hotel. The walls are thin, so you can hear quiet conversation from adjoining rooms. You can only touch up paint and caulking for so long before deciding that a complete makeover is needed. This should be a $99/night hotel, but the charge is higher because of the proximity to Blue Mountain.

We booked this comfort inn online for one night after a birthday visit to the Scandinavian spa in blue Mountain, We didn’t want to drive home in Winter weather during the dark,
the location was perfect and the price was great PLUS you get FREE breakfast,
It didn’t disappoint, The room was clean and the bathroom spotless with great amenities xx
I have to say that the staff went above and beyond, super friendly, very helpful and kind, in particular a lovely young lady called Anita helped me with my bags and really welcomed me when she knew it was my birthday.,

We could hear the TV in the room adjacent and the music from across the hall of another guest. We never really fell asleep. The guy at the lobby tried to help and even made a noise complaint on our behalf and banged on the doors of those guests to quiet them down.
Stressful evening on an otherwise wonderful vacation!
Breakfast was not great, heating up an egg sandwich in the microwave to give to guests. I think brown toast and individual packets of jam/Peanut Butter would have been better received. I appreciated the yogourt and juice though!

Where do I start? First of all, we travelled enough during pandemic and stayed in a variety of places to realize that a business can follow all the rules and regulations and still be welcoming and nice to its customers.
This place definitely takes the cake in the misery department. It’s like they want their guests to feel as miserable as possible while taking their money.
We came to check in after a long drive, there were quite a few people checking in, one very slow older lady at the desk who seemed completely overwhelmed with her job. It was cold and rainy outside, when she announced that “only 5 people are allowed in the lobby, the rest need to get out”. So instead of being crowded in the lobby, people crowded between the sliding doors (make sense?), and the line was all the was out to the parking lot. After standing in line for more than 40 minutes, she told us our room was not ready and she can’t check us in for another 15 minutes. We said we’ll go out and call us when it’s ready. It was around 2:30. They called at 6pm. If you go as a group, prepared to be constantly harassed about gathering, all the lobby furniture that you see on the pictures is pulled away and not to be used. The breakfast is disgusting and you have to take the tray to your room. When we left on the first day, I asked the room to be cleaned, she said she’ll call and tell them. The room was not cleaned when we came back.
I don’t think this place understands that they are “hospitality” business. 👎👎👎👎

This hotel is 10 minute drive from the blue Mountain ski hills and within walking distance to several ethnic and fast food restaurants, a supermarket, and other major department stores. Although Covid restrictions prevented the breakfast room from being open, hot food was still available to take back to the room and included eggs, sausage or bacon, hashbrowns, yogurt, fruit, coffee, cereals and a variety of breads. Nice to have a mini fridge and microwave in the room as well.
Although our room faced a major town intersection, we were not bothered by any street noise (we did leave the fan on to provide some white noise). There is no tub, only a shower, in the bathroom, but plenty of hot water.
Overall, this hotel provided basic comfortable accommodation at a very reasonable price

We booked by telephone for a 1 night stay for a family event. The staff member during that phone call was very helpful and courteous. The room was newly decorated, very clean, and the carpets replaced with laminate flooring - so much cleaner and easily kept clean - thank you for the new room design! Bedding was all new, draperies new, bathroom up to date and very clean.
The comp breakfast was good, no complaints from us at all.
The staff were attentive and extremely nice to talk to.
Thank you to the management for making our stay the best it could be! We will definitely return in the future.

Stayed here for a night as the location is convenient to attractions in the area. The hotel felt aged and dark. Covid management was poor in my opinion. No plexiglass at the front, hand sanitizers were hard to locate and breakfast in the morning not well managed. The staff wasn’t wearing gloves and coffee is handled by guests which is ok but again no sanitizer in the area could be seen. Not good. Guest asked the staff to microwave his food in personal container. Um use the one in your room. Staff should not have to touch your container. Too many people hovering in the breakfast area as family members got their food and to boot the loiterers weren’t wearing masks. No enforcement. They only covered their face with their shirt when i commented. This healthcare worker was not impressed. The room itself was ok. Bed not comfortable with lumpy pillows. Glad to leave.

Great location in Collingwood, very close to everything you need. Our room was nice and clean and we had a very nice stay. The hotel could use some freshening up but overall it was okay. During this time breakfast was served but was limited to coffee, juice,yogurt and 2 types of breakfast sandwiches because of Covid.
For the price I paid on Booking.com it was worth it.
I would recommend this hotel for family's on a budget with out getting a crappy hotel for cheep.

Hello, We have a heated indoor pool, but dose not have hut tab by the pool.
From memory 7:00 to 9:30 Monday to Friday and 7:00 to 10:00 on Saturday and Sunday. Breakfast is basic but well worth going down for. Juices, yogurt, cereal, waffles made by yourself, scrambled egg and sausage patties, toast and bagels, plus a plentiful supply of good coffee. The cutlery is plastic, so take a knife and fork if that offends.
Our room was extremely clean, no bed bugs or other bugs at all. We enjoyed our stay there and will definitely go back.
It's a server-yourself setup with scrambled eggs,sausage patties, etc. kept warm, make-your-own toast, yoghurt, coffee. You can certainly fill up, but you won't rave about the taste of it. Hope this helps.
According to the website, only service and guide dogs are allowed.
