I slept for over four hours when she came back and found a bed bug laying right on her pillow! We called front desk and housekeeping came and confirmed what we already knew. They put our clothes in bags and moved us to another room on the first floor (possibly moving them with us?) and comped the stay but I still will never set foot on that property again!

This is a nice little motel in deep river. The front desk clerk was super nice and he even gave me…read morea tip for the next time I booked a room. Initially I booked my room on Expedia.com. Which is a third party company where you can book motel/hotel rooms around the world. The front desk clerk informed me that you can almost always find a better rate if you can the motel/hotel directly. And even if the motel doesn't beat the internet rate with Expedia, they will probably match it. The room itself was a 2 queen size beds. The room was fairly clean. Nothing negative to say about it. They offered breakfast in the morning but I didn't up leaving before breakfast. I wouldn't be opposed to going back here again.

Even offered us to stay past the checkout time no charge and to keep the breakfast out longer for us. Room was spacious, alarm clock even allowed me to charge my phone since I had forgotten my wall plug adapter. Plan on buying same unit for my downstairs basement room. Tv channels were the clearest of any I've seen in any hotel. My only complaint would be that the showers had barely any water pressure, and that by 10am the hot water tank seemed empty, but quite possible due to it being -30 degrees Celsius outside. At the rate we got I'd happily spend another night in this quaint hotel. A special thanks to the night desk clerk who helped us immensely.

It was ok. I booked it for the hot tub and i needed a place with reliable wifi to do school work…read morewhile in town on family business. The hot tub was shut down, I checked in Sun, left Wed and it opened back up Tuesday evening. I had to finish and submit assignments for two classes by midnight Sun. It went down and was up and down Mon and Tuesday. You had to pay cash at the restaurant due to the internet (or if you had a credit card put on file for your room before it crashed Sunday). I brought this up to the front desk staff several times and they offered nothing (other than saying I could go down the street to Tim Hortons and use their wifi). Honestly, if I hadn't booked through a travel ap i would have demanded my money back and gone elsewhere (like the one next door that didn't seem to have any issues). Do better.

The breakfast was great; as they served eggs, sausages, pancakes, yogourt, fruits, coffee, oatmeal, and a variety of breads/English muffins. They have a nice swimming pool but no hot tub. The fitness room only had 4 equipment; 2 treadmills, 1 elliptical, and 1 pedalling equipment. This was the only hotel in the area that would accommodate 5-6 people to a room. Our room had a pull out couch. Our room was very nicely cleaned. Although I didn't know why the drapes wouldn't close all the way.

My girlfriend and I stayed in The Library Room, which is much more than just a room; suffice it to say it has it all. The other rooms are more of the same. Excellence. The beautiful manor's exterior is outdone only by the exquisitely decorated interior. After entering through the giant dark wood front door, you are met with a foyer with a grand stair case. The decor is all period inspired, with tin ceilings, rich wood accents, and a cozy fire-side seating areas wherever you go. Your room comes with a full breakfast, including refreshing fruit salad, tangy yogurt, freshly baked items, and a hot, freshly prepared main course - with strong hot coffee and icey fruit juice to wash it down. Breakfast is served in the beautiful and vibrant dining area, with Art whistling in the kitchen and jazzy tunes to get your morning started. A guaranteed, regret-free, hidden gem in the Ottawa valley.

Ok, I'll start by saying that the Fort, as it's known to most of us here in the valley, is a main…read morestay. It's the only place on the river to congregate and get food, drinks and a beach by boat, or driving. Despite my review, I know it's not going anywhere and its business won't be affected...even though it should be. Today I went there with family visiting from the Caribbean. The hours said "open 12-8pm" which I thought was great because my brother had asked me to get a sweater for him that reps the business. I drive out there, it's about 25 minutes from where I live, gate is open but all the doors are closed. So myself, my wife, and visiting family say "okay, we'll grab a couple of chairs from the deck, have a drink and wait till someone comes" We had a cooler with us from earlier adventures but we love the Fort's signature drink, the sunset and we had told our guests about them. We were all pretty jacked to have one on a rare sunny September weekday. The owner, who I think is named Trevor Miller, shows up, marches up to us and immediately starts telling us that we can't use chairs from the deck and can't drink alcohol there. He didn't ask us anything, didn't care about our intentions, just straight up told us to beat it. If he had have said "hey guys, we normally don't let people use our chairs and we don't usually let people use our chairs, but are you intending to stay till we open?" Or anything aimed at understanding our intentions, he would have sold a sweater and a round of drinks. Instead, he got four people who said "well that was not something that made me want to support this place" 1. Make sure your business hours are reflective of the reality (especially in seasonal business) 2. You get more bees with honey (I got my brother a whitewater sweater instead and bought a 24 of tall boys..cause they seem to appreciate my money) 3. the fort can suck it cause I will not be back and neither will my family
