"We had a lovely stay at Lakeview Motel. The property is very well maintained and there are thoughtful touches throughout including plenty of fluffy towels, a well-stocked coffee station and a gleaming pool. Our room was well-sized, had plenty of hot water and good air conditioning. Together with a convenient location, the warm welcome upon our arrival made for a perfect stay."

"Such a great clean brand new renovation. I stayed on the top floor and the room was fabulous. Also really
Liked the hot tub and the lit up areas out back for relaxing. Easy location to Gravenhurst beach and shops. Staff responded quickly by text and let us check out an hour late."

"Floor not swept, cobwebs everywhere, obvious signs of previous flooding that was not repaired, it was like walking into a haunted house! Staff was friendly enough but not worth the stay imo"

"We had a two night girl’s stay here and we found the staff to be very pleasant and accommodating with our requests from providing chairs poolside to ice for our room and providing taxi numbers. The rooms have been recently renovated, are very clean and the beds are comfortable! Especially loved swimming in the pool. We would definitely stay here again!"

"The room was nice redone. You can not open the drapes which is depressing . The bathtub had very visible mold around the tile. The shower head needs a deep clean. No ventilation in the bathroom so it holds the moisture. No coffee pot in the room.
When I arrived it was just before my 3:00 check the guy at the desk was rude about it. I said ok I need to go get something to eat first anyways, he said well your room is ready, I said I will be back.
When I went down to ask about the internet there was a nice girl there who set it up for me.
The carpets in the stairs and hallway was dirty, when I was checking out there was a company their cleaning it which will hopefully make it look better.
All in all it wasn’t bad, I would recommend it but don’t expect the greatest. Parking was good"
"The property is very Canadiana. Just what you expect in the north
The room appeared to be freshly painted and newer bathroom. Had a very comfy bed
Only disappointment was the breakfast"
"Great experience staying at the Howard Johnson. The AC was not working in our room when we checked in but the guy at the front desk fixed it right away. Room was clean, no complaints!"
"The fridge had issues, it never got very cold. Freezer part worked well, but not fridge part. I enjoyed the breakfast you provided. We had a great stay."
"It is a very nice hotel, close to shopping and Santa's Village. Our room was large and fully renovated. It was on the second floor so we had to haul our stuff up as there are no elevators.
The Staff is very friendly, and kind to children. There is coffee and tea 24hours in the lobby.
The pool is nice and warm. But again be prepared to walk down several flights of stairs to get to it.
From the pool is a view of the river and a deck you can choose to sit outside or in the pool area.
The only Amenitie that needs work is the hot tub. There are no jets. It is just standing water. And it could have been a little bit cleaner."
"This is a nice place for a gettaway and if you have kids even better. The beach is very nice. Not crowed and the water is sublime. You can wade out 100 feet or more and the water is at your waste or lower. The Kayaks and Canoes are nice to have. I went out most days in a Kayak. The staff are mainly young students but they are very nice and attentive. The pool is ok nothing special but great for kids. For seniors or those with mobility issues you might want to think twice about this place. There are 100 stairs to go down to the beach. No problem if you don't have health issues but it could be a concern otherwise. The general maintenance is not great. You can see that the resorts is managed on a tight budget but they take care of the essentials. The rooms are older though they are clean just don't expect luxury accommodations. We had a lake view and balcony which I recommend. Initally when we checked in we were given a room which was not the same as the description when we booked so just beware of this. The desk representative was so nice and she put us in another room with the balcony and lake view. The food is good although a bit pricey . Luckly Huntsville is close by so you have plently of options. One evening we had as entertainment a guitar player /folk singer who was excellent. Overall it was a nice gettaway. I would recommend it if you want to get away for a few days and not spend a fortune."
"One of a few beautiful iconic historic resorts left in Ontario. Only 58 rooms and personal touches ... not a huge hotel. Excellent dinner and location. Large pool and great selection of free activities like shuffle board and volley ball. Minor point ... shower curtain needs to be washed to remove mildew smell. Long covered porch with many outside dining tables. Would have been nice if more of this are was used for traditional lounge chairs to relax and read or talk on hot or rainy days."
