We stayed in room #208, from Sunday, October 8 to Monday, October 9, 2023. We paid $379 ($435 total) for bed and breakfast, and we believe that it is an absolute rip-off. At that price, we expected to receive a certain level of service and, unfortunately, our expectations were not met. Our intention was to spend a nice and relaxing time in what is announced as a "luxurious resort" and a "4-star hotel", rating seen when looking up the resort on the Internet. In our opinion, it is anything but luxurious or highly rated: we have traveled a lot (and stayed in about 90 hotel rooms!) and we KNOW what luxurious or "4-star" hotel means. Upon entering the room, we were immediately struck by the tired furniture and worn-out carpeting. The bathroom was a remnant of the 1970's : everything was old and past its due date. When we used the shower, there were 2 inches of water at our feet. The A/C system was so noisy that I had to turn it off after hours of not sleeping. There was a bug in one of the drawers. The overall condition of the room was very disappointing and left us feeling uncomfortable during our stay. Finally, we paid an extra $30 for a "lakeview room", and were truly shocked that we could see only a small parcel of Lake Simcoe between a few trees. This is plain false advertising, and the room was absolutely not worth the extra money. At around 5:30 pm on the evening of October 8, we went to the restaurant, and were told to make reservations for dinner with the Front desk. What an odd practice... We were told that our reservation would be at 7 pm, which was too late for us. What kind of luxury resort cannot offer dinner to its guests when the restaurant was clearly open and empty? We were hoping that breakfast would save the trip, as we had looked at the menu in advance. Unfortunately, only an ordinary buffet option was offered - again, what kind of luxury resort doesn't offer its own à-la-carte breakfast menu? I wrote to the Management and nobody ever got back to me. Stay at the Ramada Jackson's Point : there you get what you pay for.
