Awful place
Awful place filthy rooms no room cleaning service, along with non guest in the stairwells and in the bushes of the property. To top it off no power in the hotel and was asked to find another hotel on my 5th night, hotel did not contact me or offer to help me find another hotel big inconvenience to pack up in the dark using an iPhone light.

Picked because of their reasonable prices and discounts available for multiple day stays. Indoor Pool was larger than expected, was a little disappointed to see that they have an outdoor pool as well but it looks like it’s closed and in desperate need of maintenance. Pet Friendly and were able to accommodate us as well as helped us book a reservation last minute when there weren’t many rooms available. Rooms around the back of the hotel could use some updating, definitely could benefit from more staff. Overall favourite hotel to stay at in Barrie!

The room was old and not worth what I paid. It was busy in our hallway and noisy and restful sleep was hard to get. Front desk staff were friendly.

The rooms are in need of updating but we’re clean. There were people living at this hotel and clearly involved in drugs and sex trafficking. A pregnant drug user tried to get into a room right beside me. Shopping carts with peoples belongings were sitting out front of rooms. Women coming and going from room next door. Drug and/or sex trafficking. Drunk/high man approached my 13 year old son and told him he was going to drown him in a bucket of ice water. Not great clientele.

Decent and clean
This hotel was exactly what I needed. Quiet, not obnoxiously crowded. I enjoyed the pool and the sauna. You could tell that it was probably an amazing hotel in the 90s or so. But it's a bit rundown and old. Dust bunnies in the corners of rooms. This is not a complaint; I got what I paid for, it was reasonably priced and I personally was in a meditative place where I did not want to deal with a ton of people so it was perfect. Did see some shady characters in the parking lot but perhaps that is just the norm for this area.

Average stay...
The employee at the front desk was helpful in relocating us to "their last king room" (which is what we booked) after putting us in a queen room. She was also helpful in printing some documents for me since the printer in the 'business centre' didn't work. I was disappointed that a 'hotel and conference centre' didn't have better business services and wifi that kept cutting out. Wifi was also very slow - it took about 20 minutes for my emails to get to her. The restaurant was great - large portions for breakfast, reasonably priced and a fantastic server. Everything seemed clean, the room was fine - nothing spectacular but fine. Super strange, unpleasant smell in the elevator. We were only there for one night and it was fine but we probably won't go back. The place was way better when it was the Holiday Inn.
