"This is a classic inn that is scheduled for a massive renovation. Over the years there have been attempts to improve and maintain, lipstick on a pig. It’s good to lay your head for a night after being at The Kee or snowmobiling all day. It’s a functional place to stay, no frills or extras.
The black painted ceiling was concerning about what it might be hiding. The bathroom had been partially updated and was clean. Strange to not have overhead lighting or lamps. We had one chair and one table so the room wasn’t well equipped to linger at all. The bed slats were so thin, some had been replaced and some were missing, which made trusting the bed very challenging. Hotel furniture needs to be durable and sturdy, if you sat on the corner or even put your hand on it you would go through. Raw uncovered light bulbs in original fixtures that half been painted over was also interesting.
In our room the bedding seemed very clean and the carpet was newer, the room smelled clean as well. This was pleasing. The window air conditioner worked well so the room was temperate.
Evening staff had a lot to deal with and were not very helpful or even intuitive about their job in hospitality.
The best part was access to The Beer Spa included in our stay. What a great partnership and the experience there was outstanding."
The Grand Tappattoo Resort, an Ascend Collection Resort
10/10 Excellent
"A lovely stay in a cabin with almost everything we needed. The beach area is the highlight- kayaks, paddle boards and a canoe free to use.
The restaurant was nice and the breakfast very good.
The only thing needed was a better self catering area in the cabin. Probably best sticking with using the restaurant."
"The staff at this resort is amazing, they go over and above to help make your stay as good as possible. We ate dinner at the restaurant on Sunday and loved the food. The beach is small but very nice, and we loved swimming in the lake. The wood burning sauna was a really nice treat too. We brought our dog with us, and noticed that the floor was a bit dusty when we put his food and water dishes down, and on our last night the smoke alarm went off at 4:30am in our room - not because of smoke, but some kind of malfunction, but other than that we loved it and would absolutely go back again."
