Nice hotel in Owen Sound

We had a pleasant and comfortable stay at this hotel. The staff were friendly and helpful, and the food in the restaurant was very good. The view over the water is quite picturesque as long as you don’t look left towards the rather large industrial plant.

The hotel is located on the water with a walking path in front. It’s a short driving distance to restaurants and gas stations. The hotel seemed to have a stale smell, possibly from the hot tub area. We didn’t use the hot tub because the area is very small and it was very crowded.
