The 'cottages' are little more than a backyard shed with a bathroom addition. Nowhere near worth the value for the room I was charged. Access to my room late at night was barricaded by 2 vehicles, one of which had a couple of men smoking weed and yelling with the vehicle running well past 1 AM. Staff were also insistent on copying down my drivers license, claiming it was standard practice. I've never had another property do it, they verify the name and that's all.

run away as fast as you can
one side of the building must have tenants living there as there was beer cans, cigarette butts and rotted carved pumpkins outside of most of the units, the cottage area really wasn't any better as there was overflowing ashtrays outside. definitely not like the pictures that are shown on Hotel.com's website

The lack of grab bars in the bathroom made it less than ideal for a senior couple who rely on these safety features. There was no anti slip features in the bathtub either. For these reasons I would not recommend this for seniors.

Cute little cottage room was clean. Beds are spring mattresses that did the trick but could be updated. AC worked wonderfully! Very close to amenities in the area. Worked for what I needed.

Better than first impression
Everything was pretty much booked when we decided to stay on a Saturday in mid-August in Gravenhurst. We wouldn’t normally stay at a motel, but the accommodations are owed by a lovely family who aimed to please. Although the cabins were of a certain age and sparsely decorated, the room and bathroom were spotlessly clean. There was a little kitchen area in the room and outdoor tables and chairs, so we enjoyed a coffee the next morning in the sunshine after a restful sleep.

Modest. clean and central
Actually this place is very modest from the outside. It’s clean but needs a good overhaul. Just stayed the one night so a good nights sleep was the priority. Bed was comfortable shower was great and room clean. It’s close to all restaurants, bars and grocery stores. Overall 7/10

This hotel was in a very central location, ideal to do walks about the town. We had a pleasant stay, the only set back at the time for rest, was the rather loud noise emenating from the refridgerator motor.

Well, you get what you pay for I suppose. Wasn't the worst motel I've stayed in. The door didn't lock so we had to put a chair in front of it at night. The walls were very thin, we could literally hear the people in the room next to us fart. There was no thermostat in the room, and when I called to ask if there was the lady who checked us in brought us a space heater that was very dusty and very noisy (we didn't end up using it. Could hardly hear each other talk over the noise it made). The room was kind of cold during the day and evening but at night the heat went up, and we were drenched in sweat. I wish there was a way we could have controlled it. Overall, if you are there just for the night amid a winter hiking trip like we were, it'll do as a place to rest when you are tired enough to pass out anywhere.

Awesome proprietor
I completely screwed up my check in date, but the proprietor stepped right up and forgave any cancellation fee and set me up for the next night. Also as I was travelling in #snowmaggedon2020 , he allowed a 1pm check in after my mistake. This will now be my go to stay while in Gravenhurst.
